Audi A6 allroad Premium Plus Wagon Exterior Shown

Powerful, comfortable and impressively upscale on the inside, the 2021 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.

Unusual and Understated luxurious practicality

JKE, 03/06/2023

2020 Audi A6 allroad Prestige 4dr Wagon AWD w/3.0 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)

A rare sight among ubiquitous SUVs, this car has been a delight and has so far not disappointed in 2 and 1/2 years of ownership. I purchased the prestige model, with the additional options of the contour luxury seating package, 4-wheel dynamic steering, and the 20th Anniversary package only offered for A6 allroads ordered in 2020 (a cosmetic package featuring a unique/immediately … retired exterior color and some very minor interior details not available on regular prestige allroads and A6 sedans). A total of only 40 anniversary models were sold in the USA. My favorite A6 allroad features are the 4-wheel steering allowing for tighter maneuverability and u-turns; the acoustic side window glass for noticeable quietness over the premium plus model; and the air suspension allowing for a refined ride over less than ideal road surfaces. The standard V6 horsepower provides excellent acceleration. Being a wagon, this is a car that does not scream for attention and goes largely ignored, yet it does receive admiring glances from those relatively few folk who know/enjoy cars. If extrovert attention is what you want for the considerable money spent, in my opinion this car is not for you. There have been no exterior visual changes among the 2020 thru 2023 model years, aside from a black optics package not offered in 2020. I never particularly liked station wagons and couldn't have imagined I would ever eventually buy one, but this niche car is sleek and stylish. This is essentially a luxury sedan-type automobile which also offers the hauling capacity and practicality of a larger SUV. With it's lower center of gravity affecting driving dynamics the A6 allroad is, for me, considerably more enjoyable and engaging to drive that an equally priced/luxuriously equipped Audi Q7. I find it a little odd that the professional review numerical ratings from many of the various automobile media outlets, released each model year 2020 thru 2023, get modestly higher for the A6 allroad. Yet the allroad's only physical modifications during these four model years have centered around exterior color availability and packaging content, mostly at the premium plus level. Body detailing; engine horsepower and transmission; interior layout and detailing; MMI learning and operability; driving capability and suspension dynamics; and the car's structural mechanics are virtually identical among all 4 model years. The driving and performance specs are identical. Not surprising, only the MMI software has modestly improved, yet has the same physical operation and visual characteristics. Sadly in my opinion, the 4-wheel dynamic steering option is no longer available after 2020, and is now only offered on the considerably more expensive RS6 wagon.

2020 Audi A6 allroad Prestige 4dr Wagon AWD w/3.0 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)

This car does everything: neighborhood, highway off-road. It’s a dream to drive with a very comfortable cabin and lots of power. All the benefits of an SUV but drives like a sedan.

2021 Audi A6 allroad Prestige 4dr Wagon AWD w/55 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)

I ve had my A6 for roughly 5 months! So far……I’m enjoying the daylights out of it! There are some things I really like. #1 Pro). The styling is eye catching…I’ve had Lexus, Cadillac, Porsche ,Lincolns, and numerous corvettes and muscle cars…..nothing has caught the public’s eye like this car…….nearly everyday, someone comments! My UPS driver thinks it’s “ the most beautiful …

2020 Audi A6 allroad Premium Plus 4dr Wagon AWD w/3.0 TFSI (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM)

this is a comfortable car, top-tech, doors require an extra pull to close, Almost like the mechanics of the door were made for the soft-close option. My doors are often centimeters from being closed. The ride of this car is very smooth and quiet. Stereo is a good one, better than most stock systems. Great for a long trip. Very smooth, quiet.
