Our opinion on Audi A6 Allroad Estate
If you think the Audi A6 Allroad Estate is simply a standard Audi A6 Avant Estate, look again. It has an executive edge, but it's been beefed up to create a lifestyle model. The Audi A6 Allroad is based on the A6 Avant Estate, and uses that car’s optional air suspension. This can be set to increase the ground clearance for gentle off-road excursions. It provides a comfortable ride and keeps the big estate body under control through the corners. Every Audi Allroad Estate comes with Audi’s Quattro four-wheel-drive system and air suspension, plus special stability control to keep the car going no matter what the road conditions. Overall, the Audi Allroad does a good job of ironing out bumps and makes a fine long-distance cruiser. The standard Quattro four-wheel drive system ensures excellent traction. The Audi Allroad Estate is peacefully quiet at all speeds. Despite the presence of the roof rails (standard on all cars), wind noise never intrudes into the cabin, and the engines are civilised performers. Audi’s renowned build quality permeates every nook and cranny of the Audi A6 Allroad Estate. This is a very well built car, whose materials inside and out suggest it will last a very long time. The regular Audi A6 Avant Estate provides plenty of space and the Audi A6 Allroad is no different. There is a vast 565-litre boot. The interior is littered with cubbyholes and power points to make family life that bit easier.
