The Audi A6 lineup continues to grow as Carscoops spy
photographers have snapped the first photos of the new A6 Allroad. Based on the
A6 Avant, the Allroad has a familiar design but it has been equipped with an
assortment of subtle styling features that set it apart from the traditional
wagon.
We can it has plastic fender
flares and unique side skirts. A closer inspection also reveals an increased
ride height and a modified rear bumper which is partially hidden by the
prototype’s trailer. Additional styling changes are hard to spot but it
appears the Allroad will have a unique grille with six vertical chrome strips.
The change is relatively minor but it mirrors the previous A6 Allroad which
also used vertical strips to differentiate it from the A6 Avant.
While the exterior will have a handful of unique
styling touches, the cabin should largely carryover. As a result, we can expect
a high-tech interior with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.1-inch
infotainment system and an 8.6-inch lower display for climate control and
convenience features.
The wagon won’t be able to tackle extreme off-road
conditions but it will offer plenty of cargo space. If the A6 Avant is any
indication, we can expect the model will be able to hold up to 1,680 liters of luggage when the rear seats are folded down.
Engine options will carryover from the A6 Avant and
the model will be offered exclusively with a quattro all-wheel drive system.
Specifications remain unconfirmed but the wagon should be available with a
turbocharged 3.0-liter TFSI V6 that develops 335 hp and 500 Nm of torque. There should also be a 3.0-liter TDI V6 engine with
282 hp and 620 Nm of torque.
