Description
The third-generation A6 allroad quattro is a versatile Avant, offering space and comfort that compares with an SUV. However, it is strikingly different in its appearance. It features attractive, balanced proportions, while sharp lines delineate taut surfaces. The roof line flows into flat D-pillars, emphasizing the svelte coupe-like shape.
Key Features
and/or Benefits
The A6 allroad quattro has clearly structured, intuitive ergonomics. The instruments are easy to read, and a start-stop button replaces the conventional ignition switch. The driver information system combines all key information and settings in an intuitive menu structure. The quality without compromise with which Audi builds cars can be experienced in every detail of the interior. The materials have been selected and processed with the utmost care. The switches, levers, and control knobs move easily and precisely. The gaps are even and narrow. Chrome-covered trim and discreet inlays add visual touches in many areas.
Audi drive select is standard on the new A6 allroad quattro. With it, the driver can vary the function of the engine, the automatic transmission, the steering and the air suspension in a number of modes to balance the differing requirements of dynamic performance or maximum fuel efficiency. In “efficiency” mode, which facilitates a particularly fuel-efficient driving style, Audi drive select also governs the deluxe automatic air conditioner. This system also controls the adaptive light, ambient lighting and Audi pre sense.
The adaptive air suspension ensures a smooth ride. A control unit adjusts the shock absorbers according to road conditions, the driver’s style, and the mode selected in Audi drive select (dynamic, automatic, comfort, allroad, or lift). The adaptive air suspension sets the height of the body at different levels depending on the vehicle speed and the driver’s request. At high speeds, it lowers the level by 15 millimetres in automatic mode. At speeds up to 80 km/h, it raises the level by 35 millimetres at the push of a button – this allroad mode is ideal for rough terrain.
Lined with high-quality carpeting, the luggage compartment in the Audi A6 allroad quattro provides a capacity of 565 litres. Levers are used to fold the split rear back seats into the side panels, thus increasing the volume to 1,680 litres. Bag hooks and roof rails are standard, as are four large fastening rings that can be moved on rails at the edges of the loading floor. The luggage compartment partition net can be secured in two positions. Audi also offers a load-securing kit that includes a telescopic bar and belt for flexible partitioning of the area.
