2027 Audi A6 Allroad
Audi keeps making wagons when almost nobody else will, and the 2027 A6 Allroad is the strongest argument yet for why they should. Based on the sixth generation A6 that launched in 2026, the new Allroad takes the standard A6 Avant sold in Europe and makes it wider, taller, and significantly more aggressive. It is confirmed for the US market in 2027.
The proportions are the story. The Allroad is 4.3 inches wider than the A6 Avant and 3.3 inches wider than the outgoing Allroad, achieved through different sheetmetal rather than just plastic cladding over the wheel arches. Functional vertical air vents sit behind the front wheels to emphasize the width. An Allroad specific grille pattern, reworked front and rear bumpers, serrated rocker panel trim, and black roof rails complete an exterior presence that feels closer to the RS6 Avant than to a standard wagon. The wide body treatment has already sparked speculation that the next RS6 will push these proportions even further.
Adaptive air suspension raises ground clearance by 1.3 inches in normal driving modes. Offroad and Offroad Plus add another 0.6 inches on top of that, giving a total adjustment range of 2.2 inches. Wheels are offered in 19, 20, and 21 inch sizes on wider rims than before for a larger tire contact patch. The steering system has been stiffened at every point between the wheel and the tires for more direct feedback, and four wheel steering is available for tighter maneuvering both on road and off. Quattro all wheel drive is standard.
The US powertrain is expected to be Audi's turbocharged 3.0 liter V6 producing 362 horsepower and 406 lb ft of torque, paired with a seven speed dual clutch automatic. European models offer a plug in hybrid with a 2.0 liter turbo four making 361 horsepower with around 60 miles of electric range, and a 3.0 liter turbodiesel V6 with 294 horsepower. Neither is expected to reach the US.
Inside, the cabin matches the A6 sedan with a freestanding panoramic OLED display combining an 11.9 inch digital gauge cluster, a 14.5 inch central touchscreen, and an optional 10.9 inch passenger display. Sport seats with ventilation and massage are available. Four zone climate control and improved acoustic insulation with optional acoustic glazing on the side glass keep the cabin quiet at speed. The infotainment system includes off road data readouts for pitch and roll angles.
Cargo space behind the power operated tailgate is expected to improve slightly over the outgoing model's 30 cubic feet standard and 69.5 cubic feet with the 40/20/40 split folding rear seats down. Rails, anchors, and tensioning straps are available for load management.
The wagon market in the US is nearly extinct. Audi bringing the A6 Allroad to America in this form, wider, more capable, and better looking than the model it replaces, is a commitment to a body style that most manufacturers have abandoned entirely.
