The
Audi A6 Allroad is back — and this time it's brought some proper attitude with it. The fifth-generation Allroad swaps its previously understated styling for a noticeably wider body, RS6-style flared arches, and a chassis genuinely engineered to take on rough ground rather than just look like it can. After a four-year absence from Audi's lineup, the jacked-up estate returns as a direct rival to plush off-road estates like the
Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain and the
Volvo V90 Cross Country — and, increasingly, to SUVs themselves.
With a plug-in hybrid powertrain available for the first time alongside a diesel V6, a raised and adjustable air suspension setup, and clever rear-wheel steering, the new A6 Allroad has plenty to talk about. Here's everything you need to know — including UK price, specs, and how it stacks up against its rivals.
What Is the Audi A6 Allroad?
The Allroad badge has been part of Audi's range, on and off, for two decades, applied to estate versions of the A4 and A6 that get raised ride height and rugged styling cues without going as far as a full SUV body. Audi pulled the previous A6 Allroad from sale a few years back, but the demand for a "wagon with off-road pretensions" clearly hasn't gone away.
This latest version is built on the standard A6 Avant, but Audi has gone much further than before in differentiating the two. The body is around 11cm wider than a regular A6 Avant, with bespoke wheel arch extensions, underbody protection front and rear, and new side skirts that match bulkier bumpers — all finished in black, in either gloss or matte paint depending on specification. There are seven exterior colour options, including a new "Plateau Grey," alongside silver, brown, green, blue, black, and a white base shade called Arkona White.
