The Audi A6 Quattro


The new Audi A6 Allroad quattro is developed on the base of current generation Audi A6 Avant, just like the first generation. From the stock A6 the difference is air suspension, different bumpers, different grill, quattro Four wheel drive and other elements already in the stock model.

First generation Audi A6 Allroad quattro appeared in 2000. It remained as the only car of this class. It was so, because with the same ideology made Subaru Outback and Volvo XC70 were not its direct competitors, since they were smaller and cheaper. At the time the Audi brand direct competitors BMW and Mercedes-Benz were more focused on the SUV's - X5 and ML. Soon Audi did the same with Q7. However Audi also made a new A6 Allroad quattro.

The biggest difference in exterior from stock A6 are chrome details on the body. Interior of Audi A6 Allroad quattro is an analogue to the stock A6. About its off road characteristics tells plastic caps that protects it from scratches. However, unlike the previous generation model, these plastic elements are painted and gives elegance to the car. Despite the relatively large potential maximum clearance (7,3 inches), Audi A6 Allroad quattro with its silhouette looks more like a traditional wagon.

Audi A6 Allroad quattro 3.2 FSI Tiptronic dynamics are good. 255 horsepower engine allows to make 0-60 in 7, 7 seconds and reach 150 miles an hour. If 255 horsepower is not enough, there are 4,2-liter V8 engine with 350 horsepower. There are also available two diesel engines - 2.7 with 170 hp and 3.0 with 233 hp.
