New Audi A6 Allroad 2020 pricing and specs detailed: High-riding wagon rivals Mercedes E-Class All-Terrain

Audi Australia has officially launched the new-generation A6 Allroad, a high-riding wagon version of the A6 large car, which now also has a new entry-level sedan.

As reported, the A6 Allroad is available in a single variant locally, the 45 TDI, which is priced from $109,500 plus on-road costs and claimed to have more than $15,000 worth of extra value over its predecessor, which actually charged $5200 more.

The 45 TDI is motivated by a 183kW/600Nm 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 engine, which is mated to an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission and Audi’s signature quattro all-wheel-drive system. For reference, maximum braked towing capacity is 2500kg.
