Wagon lovers have fewer choices these days. But for those who can afford its premium price, the Audi A6 allroad has much to offer. Along with its Audi luxury credentials, the A6 allroad has light off-road capability, making it the perfect vehicle for weekend getaways to the mountains or beach. Its added ground clearance and potent engine, coupled with Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive, form an SUV-like attitude without the added bulk.
Other brands playing in this field include the Volvo V90 Cross Country and Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain.
For those more interested in on-road performance, the RS 6 Avant is sure to thrill. It features a 621-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8, lowered sport suspension, and an enthusiast-oriented interior with room for five.
Let’s look closer at the model range of the A6 allroad and RS 6 Avant wagons to find the right one for you.
What’s New:
Changes to the 2024 Audi A6 allroad wagon include revised front and rear styling, a few interior upgrades, and new wheel designs. Matrix-design LED headlights are standard on all trims, along with multicolor ambient interior lighting and an app-based remote start feature. The Executive Package gains dual-pane acoustic glass and traffic sign recognition, which is optional on the Premium Plus and standard on Prestige.
The really important updates reside within the RS 6 Avant. A new Performance trim loses a few pounds and gains an extra 30 hp, bumping output to 621. Other changes to the RS 6 Avant include new wheels, revised interior trim, and, on the RS design package, a blue accent option is added to the existing red and gray.
Seventy-five lucky people will get a shot at the limited-run Bronze Edition featuring unique black paint and interior trim, sport suspension, and 22-inch wheels.
