Powerful, comfortable and impressively upscale on the inside, the A6 Allroad has a lot going for it. Unfortunately, the mild off-road capability it offers comes at the expense of on-road performance. Value is a little dubious, too.

Wagons haven't sold well in the U.S. in recent years. To make them more appealing to American tastes, automakers often raise their ride height an inch or two, dress them up with plastic fender cladding, and market them as SUVs. The Audi A6 Allroad is one example of this trend, and though its SUV styling elements are largely cosmetic, it's still a luxurious and practical vehicle with plenty to offer.

As a wagon, the A6 Allroad of course comes with a generously sized cargo area. The rest of the cabin is also spacious and comfortable, with many standard tech and convenience features that make the A6 a pleasant place to spend time. A turbocharged V6 provides adequate thrust, but the rest of the driving experience isn't particularly engaging compared to lifted wagon rivals like the Volvo V90 Cross Country and Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain. Check out our Expert Rating below to see how the Audi A6 Allroad measures up to the competition.

Audi A6 allroad vs. Audi Q7
The Audi Q7 isn't a repackaged wagon like its A6 Allroad stablemate — it's a legit SUV. The Q7 is larger than the A6 Allroad, offering three rows of seats standard. The Q7's interior is comfortable and well built, but the SUV was introduced way back in 2017 and is showing its age.
Audi A6 allroad vs. Volvo V90 Cross Country
Volvo does wagons really well, and the V90 Cross Country is both great to look at and fun to drive. It not only handles well for a large wagon but also provides a smooth, comfortable ride at highway speeds. Because its infotainment architecture is Google-based, the V90 is one of the few vehicles on the market that doesn't offer Apple CarPlay. So if you're an iPhone user, the A6 Allroad might be the better choice.
Audi A6 allroad vs. Mercedes-Benz E-Class
The E-Class All-Terrain is our favorite option in the lifted wagon category. In typical Mercedes fashion, it's built to a high standard of quality and delivers engaging driving dynamics, a comfortable ride, and plenty of useful and impressive tech. It's more expensive than the A6 Allroad, but what it delivers makes the Mercedes well worth the extra cash.
