2015 Audi A6 Allroad review | first drive - Cars Guide
The A6 Allroad isn't going to win awards for steering precision or tactile feedback. The adaptive air suspension helps here, regulating the ride height and damping forces depending on speed and conditions. Throw in the signature quattro all-wheel drive and the Audi's plastic-clad wheel arches and alloy bash plates suddenly start to look more practical than poseur. Dust suppression on the Northern Territory's dirt roads was first rate, as was noise insulation from rocks flicked up against the Audi's undercarriage. The Allroad is fitted with Audi's multiple driving modes but the default auto setting will do the job for most. Hill descent control and off-road stability control mode are standard and there's a screen to display lateral and longitudinal angles when tackling hills. The bank balance is the only sacrifice buyers have to make with an A6 Allroad. The $111,900 sticker price is down by $6000. Metallic paint adds $2280 and there's a $4800 "Technik Package" with adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking and 360-degree camera. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
