INGOLSTADT: The new Audi A6 allroad is built with a wide body for the first time, making it more powerful and striking than ever before.
Now in its fifth generation, the all-rounder comes with adaptive air suspension, all-wheel steering, and quattro all-wheel drive.
With its body 11cm wider than the A6 Avant, large alloy wheels, and signature allroad design elements, the vehicle has a distinctive look.
Whether with the 3.0-litre V6 TDI or, for the first time, as a plug-in hybrid, both powertrains are electrified for high efficiency and strong performance.
“The A6 allroad is an icon in the Audi lineup and has always embodied a clear philosophy: an Audi that is exceptionally comfortable for everyday use and displays its off-road capabilities when the terrain becomes more challenging," said Audi AG chief technical officer Rouven Mohr.
Available for the first time, the A6 allroad e-hybrid combines a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 185kW and an electric motor with up to 105kW deliver a total system output of 270kW (367PS) and total torque of 500Nm.
The high-voltage battery (25.9 kWh gross; 20.7 kWh net) enables up to 95km (combined, according to WLTP) of all-electric driving.
The battery is charged by alternating current (AC) at up to 11 kW; a full charge takes about two and a half hours.
Regenerative braking can be adjusted in multiple increments, and the hybrid management system offers an EV mode and a hybrid mode.
A target battery charge level can be selected via the MMI.
In the 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine with 220kW (299PS) and 580Nm of torque, Audi combines three electrified components: the MHEV plus technology with belt alternator starter and powertrain generator, which delivers up to 18kW (24PS) of additional power, as well as an electric-powered compressor for direct and fast response.
As a result, the V6 TDI delivers powerful performance in every driving situation.
The premium interior's centrepiece is the Audi MMI panoramic display, featuring the 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit and a 14.5-inch touch display, which can be supplemented by an optional 10.9-inch passenger display.
The digital Matrix LED headlights can also be customised via the central display.
There are eight digital daytime running light signatures, and the taillight display changes in sync with them.
The dimmable panoramic glass roof also provides a choice between a light-filled cabin and effective shading.
Adjustable rear seats, the increased trailer load of the V6 TDI compared with the A6 Avant, and the roof rails with the optional roof basket make the A6 allroad an ideal companion for travel and outdoor activities.
