History/Overview
Station wagons are a hard sell in North America these days, but brands like Audi know there are a few drivers who still appreciate this practical body style. To help expand its mid-size A6 wagon’s appeal, Audi tacks on some rugged styling cues to turn the car into a crossover it calls the A6 Allroad, which was introduced as a 2020 model.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
For 2022, the A6 Allroad gets a few new standard features, which we’ve detailed below.
Available Trims
Audi offers the A6 Allroad in Progressiv and Technik trim levels. Power is from a 3.0L turbo V6 with mild hybrid assist, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and standard AWD.
The other mid-size Audi wagon is the high-performance RS6 Avant, which is covered in a separate buyer’s guide entry.
Standard Features
Audi fits the A6 Allroad’s with adaptive air suspension, new-for-2022 20-inch wheels, auto-dimming/power-folding side mirrors, LED headlights with washers, a power tailgate, and passive keyless entry.
Inside, you’ll enjoy a panoramic sunroof, power front seats with lumbar, three-zone A/C, heated front and rear seats, electric steering column, leather upholstery, auto-dimming mirror, and ambient lighting.
New this year, navigation, a digital gauge display, and wireless phone charging are standard; also included are wireless Apple CarPlay, satellite radio, and a 10.6-inch touchscreen.
