Audi A6 Allroad

Unlike the standard A6, the US Allroad comes strictly and only with the 3.0 TFSI V6 (55 TFSI, 335 hp), a 7-speed S-Tronic and Quattro Ultra. There are no base four-cylinders — a fast car, but expensive to buy in the first place.

Every Allroad leaves the factory with adaptive air suspension that raises the ride height by around 45 mm for off-road mode — a unique ride, but potentially costly compressor or air-spring repairs at mileage.

The big catch is the specific bodywork — the contrasting arch trims, the different sills, the Allroad grille and the underbody skid panels. In a side or front hit these parts are missing in the yards here (in Europe the model is mostly diesel and used stock is bought up fast), and new ones take time and a serious budget.
