At long last, Audi has revealed its reply to the X213 Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain, and that's the brand new A6 allroad quattro. The A6 allroad continues a tradition that spans over 20 years, with this being the fourth generation model. First, let抯 tackle the elephant within the room. The A6 allroad quattro rides up to 45 mm taller than the A6 Avant, with the default floor clearance being at 139 mm. This, in line with the automaker, highlights its off-street qualities. It抯 outfitted with adaptive air suspension with controlled damping that抯 been tuned specifically to spice up its off-road capabilities. Ride peak can mechanically be adjusted relying on driving velocity. When the best trip top (elevate mode) is chosen, the body is raised by 45 mm, although top pace in this mode is capped at 35 km/h. Drive any quicker and the journey is lowered by 15 mm. 30 mm over commonplace journey height), which covers speeds of as much as 80 km/h. Besides the specifically adapted suspension, the A6 allroad features hill descent control and tilt angle help as customary.
The former limits descent speed to 30 km/h, whereas the latter supplies visible warning to the driver when the chance of tipping over is detected. A special ABS programme is included to help braking when traversing free surfaces. In off-road mode, all the related dynamic handling systems and stabilisation controls - which have been specifically programmed - work in tandem to deliver the absolute best traction and efficiency. Speaking of efficiency, in Europe, the A6 allroad quattro is powered by the 3.0 litre V6 TDI engine that抯 out there in three states of tune. The entry-degree forty five TDI produces 231 PS from 1,750 to 3,250 rpm and 500 Nm of torque, sufficient for the sprint from zero to a hundred km/h in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h. Average gas consumption is rated at 5.Eight litres per one hundred km (based mostly on WLTP protocols). In the A6 allroad quattro 50 TDI, the engine produces 286 PS and 620 Nm of torque between 2,250 and 3,000 rpm. The century dash is done in 5.9 seconds, while the gasoline consumption is between 5.9 litres to 5.Eight litres per a hundred km.
The top-of-the-line engine 55 TDI unit generates 349 PS and seven-hundred Nm of torque from 2,500 to 3,one hundred rpm. The zero to a hundred km/h dash is completed in 5.2 seconds and consumes a mean of 6.5 litres of gas per a hundred km. Towing capability is rated up to 2.5 tonnes. All three TDI engines come normal with Audi抯 48-volt mild hybrid electrical system. In the true world, Audi says the system reduces gasoline consumption by as much as 0.Four litres per one hundred km. The system incorporates a belt alternator starter (BAS) because the central MHEV component, which helps get well up to 8 kW of power during braking and feeds the electricity into a 10 Ah lithium-ion battery. As usual, Audi automobiles with MHEV tech can coast with the engine off. An eight-velocity tiptronic automated is the gearbox of alternative, with wheel-selective torque control to complement the quattro everlasting all-wheel drive system. As an option, the sport differential distributes the facility infinitely variably between the rear wheels - this lively torque vectoring gives the ultimate boost by way of dynamic dealing with and traction.
For design, the A6 allroad quattro gets special exterior attachments to visually separate it from the A6 Avant. This features a Singleframe grille with vertical aluminium struts, aluminium blade and underbody safety, allroad-particular roof rails mounted on bars and the window slot trims, as well as aluminium diffuser trim and tailgate garnish (accessible in black too). Of course, the largest difference is the wheel arch trims which are completed in contrasting scandium grey as customary. However, these could be painted in body colour or in gloss black for a small fee. The contrasting sill trims on the sides additionally come with allroad logos. Wheel sizes range from the standard 18-inch to 21-inch objects, the latter plucked from the Audi Sport range. Other elective extras embrace aluminium exterior pack and black styling package deal with dark attachments and trim strips. Inside, the cabin comes in three colours - Black, Pearl Beige and Okapi Brown. As standard, the seats are upholstered in black cloth and partial leather. Alternatively, clients can opt for the perforated Valcona leather as properly. The standard graphite gray inlays on the common A6 have been swapped out for 2 wooden variants and one in aluminium.
Again, the cabin will be further customised, especially with Alcantara/leather-based sport seats and birch wood inlays that match the exterior paint. Otherwise, the cabin is just about a carbon copy of the common A6. The driver will get the acquainted 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit, whereas the centre sprint gets a 10.1-inch infotainment display up high, as well as a smaller 8.6-inch show below for local weather management, consolation features and text input. Audi MMI navigation plus with LTE and Wi-Fi hotspot, in addition to head-up show can be found, too. Finally, there抯 Audi join on-line companies, myAudi app (with NFC to unlock and/or start the automobile), the 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System, and a range of driver assist methods. This consists of efficiency assist, adaptive cruise help, emergency help, intersection help and exit warning. To coincide with the launch of the brand new A6 allroad quattro, Audi is launching the ?0 years allroad?edition mannequin. There are three paint colours accessible - Gavial Green, Glacier White and Soho Brown. The Audi rings and exterior mirror housings are finished in gloss black, and it sits on exclusive 19-inch wheels. Black sport seats with leather-based/Alcantara upholstery is standard, as are aluminium inlays and illuminated door sills. Prices begin from 61,500 euros (RM290k) in Germany.
