Audi A6 Allroad Quattro is a car in which the world famous German concern embodied its latest ideas. Which ones? And those that were to introduce into the existing model off-road qualities. As a base, it was decided to take, as you already could understand, the Audi A6. What did the developers do? It’s worth sorting out.
Briefly about the model
Audi A6 Allroad Quattro has not changed much in appearance. Dimensions - too. The length of the car is a little short of five meters - it is 4938 millimeters. The width is impressive - 2086 mm. The machine reaches a height of 1534 mm. There is also a shortened version. Its height is 1474 mm. The wheelbase is also quite impressive - 2905 mm. The ground clearance for a car of this class is not bad - it can vary from 125 to 185 mm. The curb weight of the model reaches 1945 kilograms, which is quite small for a car endowed with off-road qualities. The turning radius is 11.9 meters.
Now about the trunk. It will definitely appeal to lovers of trips and frequent trips, as its volume can reach 1680 liters. And finally, the tank. The volume of this part of the machine is 75 liters. So, as you can see, the Audi A6 Allroad Quattro turned out to be what the manufacturers intended. In size and volume - for sure.
Exterior
Audi A6 Allroad Quattro turned out worthy. It boasts an air suspension equipped with the ability to change ground clearance - this, by the way, has affected the height of the car. A decent weight indicator was achieved due to two power plants to choose from. They affect this indicator too.
How does this Audi car differ from the same model, but in a station wagon? Firstly - all-wheel drive. Secondly - a special radiator grille with vertical chrome stripes. The position of the headlights, as well as their shape, remained unchanged, but it was decided to transform the lighting equipment. More developers have made a different style of the side bumper niches. But the underrun protection was left the same, as well as the lining on the wheel arches.
The roof was decorated with two rails equipped with double racks - this is another nuance regarding this version. At the back you can see a protective bumper body kit and an interesting-shaped lining of the exhaust system.
Interior
The interior of the Audi A6 Allroad Quattro has not changed much. He remained practically the same as that of the station wagon. An interesting multifunctional sports three-spoke steering wheel appeared (which replaced the four-spoke one) with the inscription Allroad. Another salon in the basic configuration is decorated with a combination fabric.
The dashboard is very convenient, and it displays all the necessary indicators. There is an indicator of oil temperature, outside temperature and coolant, a tachometer (with an electronic clock and a digital display), indicator lamps, a voltmeter, a button for monitoring and setting the clock, a wide digital display for indicating the frequency of maintenance, an on-board computer, and even a reset button. In general, as you can see, the dashboard is really equipped with everything possible.
But that's not all that the Audi A6 Allroad Quattro boasts. Inside, there is everything: a power window control switch, a headlight light switch, a side ventilation nozzle, a dashboard dimmer, washer and cleaner paddles , cup holders, airbags, a navigation system, radios, a cigarette lighter, ashtrays, a sun blind, niches, pockets - and these are far from all! In general, this Audi car really has “full stuffing,” as they say now. And this can be understood from the foregoing.
Audi A6 Allroad Quattro: specs, news
This off-road version can be equipped with two engines - they are top-end models for the Avant model. So the new technical specifications are almost identical.
So, the model is equipped with a diesel and gasoline engine. Both of them are turbocharged and have exactly the same volume of three liters. The gasoline version provides a capacity of 333 horsepower, while the diesel version - 245 liters. from. Motors operate under the control of a 7-speed automatic transmission equipped with a Quattro drive system. This can be understood based on the name of the car.
The maximum that this machine can reach is 250 kilometers per hour. A model equipped with a diesel unit cannot reach such a speed. 236 km / h - this is its limit. The petrol version accelerates to a hundred kilometers in less than six seconds. Diesel - for 6.6. It should be noted, discussing the review of Audi, that such indicators are pretty solid for an off-road car. Not everyone can brag about it. How much gasoline or diesel does the Audi a6 Allroad Quattro require? Fuel consumption is different. The diesel version requires 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers, and the gasoline - 8.
Brake system
This is a very important point. The brake system of this model is well developed. Manufacturers equipped all wheels with ventilated disk mechanisms. And the parking brake has an electric drive. The control of the car is very sensitive, and to facilitate the driving process, the model was equipped with such important systems as ASR, BAS, ESP, ABS, EBD and, of course, the help function when starting uphill. So the process of driving a car will be given to any driver without any problems.
About the merits
Audi a6 Allroad Quattro received positive reviews. Yes, it is slightly inferior to its predecessor universal in dynamics. However, its advantages are not in speed. This is an excellent car in its technical part. And this fact is proved by test drives, which have already been done a lot. The car is assembled very soundly, the driver feels confident and reliable in it - such reviews are left by people who were already driving this German model. Many even argue that externally the car does not look what it is from the inside. I don’t want to get out of this car - it’s so comfortable. This is true - the developers made every effort to create the very interior and equipment that would suit even the most sophisticated buyer. This could already be understood from the description of the equipment and the availability of various electronics.
In addition, the manufacturer also offers potential buyers a version with additional options - naturally, paid. In general, the basic equipment is not poor, but for a couple of thousand the manufacturer offers a unique design package that makes it possible to create a car interior and exterior to your liking.
About cost and maintenance
How much can this model cost in the updated version of 2015? The price of this car will start from three million 51 thousand rubles. Naturally, this is still an estimated price. And, of course, without additional equipment. This is a gasoline version. So far, there is no information that could explain how much the diesel option will cost.
Now a few words on a topic such as repair and maintenance. So far, only the versions that were released before 2015 can be judged. Do not hide the fact that repairs and maintenance can be expensive. After all, this is an “Audi”! However, it is necessary to observe an important nuance. If you handle the machine accordingly, that is, carefully, then it can last forever, like a Swiss watch. Still, this is a German assembly - such cars do not break in a couple of years, but drive for decades.
Possible trouble
Of the problems that the owners note, there are problems with the suspension. She can be killed by regular attacks on the pits and speed bumps and jumping on the sidewalks. Slow down when such obstacles occur. Let this “Audi” and endowed with the qualities of an SUV, but still it does not have absolute cross-country ability.
And this model also loves to eat butter. About a liter for 3000 kilometers, so the level must be kept under control. In general, it is better to be serviced by official representatives. And, of course, to comply with absolutely all recommendations and not to ignore safety precautions.
