The Allroad also gets a boot rail system which includes lashing points and a folding floor, so you can separate items in the boot and stop them sliding around. The tailgate opening is wide and square too, so awkward and boxy items such as the odd bit of furniture, will fit in easily.

There's also plenty of legroom for those in the back, but the large central tunnel means that getting three people in the back can be cramped in terms of foot room.īootspace is immense with 565 litres of room with the rear seats up and 1660 litres with them folded down. There's plenty of adjustment in the seat and steering wheel so finding a comfortable driving position is easy, even for taller drivers. The climate control system can be a little confusing to use at first, but it's simple once you've got the hang of it. There's also an electric parking brake (rather than conventional handbrake) which also frees up space.

It's very intuitive and easy to use, plus it means the centre console isn't cluttered with buttons. The layout of the dash is pretty straightforward and the main controls are accessed via the MMI system (which stands for Multi Media Interface) which includes a colour screen. Prior to that, the standard cloth trim was a special material called monoPur, which is designed for heavier use than standard cloth. Leather upholstery is standard on models from 2008 which is useful if you have younger children as it's easier to keep clean than cloth. You can choose from more traditional wood inlays or modern brushed aluminium trims but all look good and have a quality appearance. The interior of the A6 Allroad is pretty much identical to the A6 Avant so that means a high-class finish and a neat design. On the inside of an Audi A6 Allroad (2006 – 2012)

As with all Audi cars, the A6 Allroad has a superbly built and high-class interior, while a long list of optional extras gives you the chance to personalise your car - at a cost of course. The 2.7 TDI with the Multitronic gearbox is especially smooth while the 3.0 TDI offers a bit more punch.

It comes with Audi's larger engines, but it's the TDI diesels which make the most sense thanks to more reasonable running costs. Of course there is a trade off for this and the A6 Allroad doesn't handle quite as well as the standard A6 and feels noticeable softer in corners, but the extra ground clearance and four-wheel drive makes it superb in snowy and icy conditions where a standard car would struggle. It's great on the motorway where it effortless soaks up miles of road with minimal fuss thanks to a forgiving ride and low noise levels. It's based on the Audi A6 Avant (and only comes as an estate) so it's very practical with plenty of rear legroom and a huge boot. The A6 Allroad comes with Audi's quattro four-wheel drive system as standard, as well as height adjustable air suspension, so it's perfect for towing trailers or caravans across wet fields. The second generation Audi A6 Allroad of 2006 is half way between a normal estate and a full-blown 4x4, making it the ideal car if you need the extra traction of four-wheel drive, but don't want the bulk usually associated with off-roaders.
