Alright, so it isn't fairly production prepared, but there are a few surefire signs that is an Allroad, not a daily A6 Avant mule. For one, it is riding higher than the usual car, although those caster-sized wheels and chubby tyres make it arduous to inform. Under all that black and white camouflage seems to be a extra aggressive front fascia, with a prominent chin and chunkier air intakes, whereas the wheel arches appear to have cladding on them. The current Allroad runs with black plastic cladding on its sides and wheel arches, whereas the front end design sits someplace between normal and 'RS' spec. Both engines are mated to a 48V mild-hybrid system which uses a belt-alternator to offer smarter start/stop and coasting. Oh, and given its delusions of gentle-highway grandeur, all-wheel drive is going to be a non-negotiable here.

We'd recommend late this year or early 2019, but stay tuned to CarAdvice for extra as particulars become out there.
