Nice car, but very expensive - options, options, options! And it needs them to look and feel snazzy. Very entertaining and professional Review once again from Thomas, great driving and commentary. Yes, we certainly appreciate all the prior data research, preparation, planning, videoing and editing that goes into these productions. Don't change Thomas! Best wishes.

"The steering has a good feeling", that's poetry, well done Thomas! 😀👍

Great review. Love Thomas ,Tomas ? Really love the A6 Allroad. More Audis Please

Thank you for all the effort you put into making these reviews. You have one of the best automotive channels on the internet. Keep up the great work!

Your reviews are the most detailed I use to see. Really great. Your videos are the best catalogue you can see about a car. Thanks a lot for your huge work. I like a lot. Regards from Spain.

My favourite car RU-vid reviewer by far. Keep up the good work Thomas.

Fantastic review!! Highly appreciated.

Thanks Thomas. All of the hard work you put in is very noticable...great productions...love watching them. Wot a car!

Another uniquely comprehensive review by Autogeful. Nobody has better production values. The camera's always in the right place, the sound perfectly mixed clear and balanced. Everything created with an artistic sense. I always feel lucky if the car I'm interested is reviewed by Thomas at Autogefuhl.

thanks Thomas another great review with really great car which I really like it. Its ALL YOU NEED.

As always, great review, excellent production, very high quality. I would love your job! Thankyou so much.

Dream Estate, definitely, great review Thomas.

We definitely appreciate your efforts! You’re the best reviewer in the world Thomas!

Always the highest quality reviews, my primary information source!

This is 100% my dream car, and who better to review it than you, Thomas! Keep up the good work.

Not the case here for the advice "go with the highest displacement and lowest amount of power". The low spec 3.0tdi (around 240hp I believe) gets S-Tronic (DSG) gearbox, the mid spec 3.0tdi (286hp) gets the Tiptronic (ZF gearbox), which being a classic converter gearbox, it's proven to be both more reliable and better for towing. So my advice would be: go with the highest displacement and the lowest amount of power, that gives you a Tiptronic. Hope Thomas acknowledges this. *P.S. This is an exception, but usually the highest displacement and lowest hp is indeed more reliable.

Allo Thomas. Great job and yes, it is a superb motorcar. The Autogefühl attention to detail is truly appreciated. Vielen Dank.

Any commentary about Audi a 6allroad is …Perfecf👌

Excellent chanel! Been following your reviews for quite a while now and to me they are probably the best and complete ones the web can offer. Merci and keep up with the great job, from Der Schweiz Danke and greetings!

Thomas, thank you so much for that very thorough review (as they always are). You invited us into your relaxing Thomas' driving lounge, thank you; I believe you when you said the car was relaxing, even your delivery was more 'laid back' or relaxed then your usual review. Not a negative, actually that added the the 'true' review of the car. I have now added this to my list of possible next cars, my possible dream estate. You and your team always do the best car reviews out there. You also include those of us that live in North America, thanks.

Really appreciate Autogefuhl's thorough reviews. I absolutely love the Audi A6 Allroad quattro.

I love your classy elegant honest reviews

Ich bin immer sehr dankbar für die ganzen Tests, besonders da sie so ruhig, besonnen und Professionell geführt werden. And by the way, ich mag ebenfalls kein Leder! Ihr helft mir extrem beim Autokauf, oder Richtung.

one of the best automotive review channels! 😀

Great work buddy! It’s like listening to a great tutor!

Great car, great review, many thanks.

Eins der besten Videos über den A6, sehr gut gemacht, habe es mit Freude angesehen. ... klasse!!

I Love the Bird singing throughout this video !!!

Fantastic review. I wish there were more on the used market here in australia - would love to pick one up!

Took me a while before I noticed you are driving through Essen-Heisingen. 😀 Nice video! Danke!! 👍🏻😃🇩🇪

I personally love the A6 allroad. When I saw the first pictures, I was not quite sure. But the first time I saw it in real life and drove it I was blown away. I think the A6 allroad combines the best of the station wagon and SUV world. The large trunk of the station wagon, but also the offroad (or should one say allroad?) capabilities, which in my opinion are in no way less than a Q5, for example. In addition you get the 55 TDI, or also S6, engine in the allroad without fake sound and fake exhaust pipes. And not to forget the looks, where Audi has done a really good job after a few flops.

My favorite Audi bar none. Had the 2003. God willing, picking up a 2021 soon. Good review Thomas👍

I'm hoping to buy an A6 c7 Allroad by the end of the year in white with the black plastics, looks gorgeous imo

I absolutely love mine ❤️

Great review Thomas. A lot of money but a lot of car. 🙂

Picking up my 2021 A6 allroad prestige with only 16k miles tomorrow. This review played a significant role in my decision. Thank you.

Excellent review! I wish the A6 Allroad in USA has a “Black Optic Package” option; that would make this car look soooo much more aggressive.

Great review. 😎 Nice comedic bits as well, lol. Haha. 😂 Very nice Audi! 😍 I want to compare it to my current favourite Estate; the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. I would probably buy the Audi if I had the money and reason to buy an Estate. I am willing to pay over €100 000. Worth it. Absolutely amazing, but I checked the spec sheet and spec-ed it. I got up to about €92 000. The fuel economy is really surprising! It may very well be my dream Estate, yes. I have massive respect for the _Autogefühl_ team. You all do an amazing job on putting together these very detailed videos that I trust very much. The work and effort put into these videos are extremely noticeable, so that is amazing. I watch from start to finish. I am excited for a review on potentially my next car, which hasn't been revealed yet. The car is a facelift (or maybe all-new) and will be revealed later this year. Definitely looking forward to that review. I would recommend your videos to others who plan to buy a vehicle or compare it to the competition as well. I use it too. A great channel that sets the benchmark of automotive journalism, so I really respect that. From meeting with engineers and designers to giving information on upcoming models; all that is amazing and adds to the greatness of this channel. Also love the hilarious humour here and there, lol. And I like writing long comments to reflect on the video, which is amazing. 🤗 I do not like leaving such a short comment like, "I like it," or "I hate it," or "ugly," because that is lazy. I love elaborating in detail and adding some extra information on a vehicle, sometimes from ownership or renting experience. I wish all people commenting did, especially under your videos. Thank you so much. Stay safe. ❤ Still your birthday? Hope you had a great birthday. 🤗 Gimme some treats! 😂 I wish I could send gifts as a nice gesture, though.

Great review..I had seen few videos from your channel earlier but didn't subscribe...after this video had to! Especially when you made the 911 overtake comment ...I love the A6 all road...wish Audi did a plug in hybrid/electric version of it ....

This is the best model because no fake exhaust bullshit.

Amazing review as usual,however I wish you mention the torque numbers in all of your reviews. I think that the torque figures are as important as the horsepower figures if not more. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Very patient, thorough review....The optimum " real life" qualityGrand Tourer with comfort and economy, quality and practicality at its heart?

Really dislike those touch screen controls for everything.. Some items would just be better as buttons/knobs..

My 2024 A6 Allroad, Manhattan Grey is on the ship. Soon I will be driving it. Thomas and his crew’s videos have been a help in selecting this car. Thank you. I do think this is one of the finest looking cars on the road… of course. Currently driving a 2013 Audi S4 manual with APR stage 1 tune (450 hp). The A6 and S4 should complement each other. Fun days ahead.

It’s always interesting to me that people will watch a car review of a vehicle in which they have no interest and then set about giving a negative review when they knew they wouldn’t like it beforehand! Just amazing! Anyway, good review by Thomas (as usual) and of a vehicle in which I have a great deal of interest as opposed to another SUV made by anyone. I want a comfortable, fast, good handling, versatile vehicle as our Porsche is just getting more uncomfortable and difficult to drive for long periods of time and in multiple locations. The Allroad and the new MB All Terrain, appear to be just what we are looking for and can’t wait to compare them side by side. The Audi has the edge in my mind because we have an A8L that’s been an awesome vehicle and the overall looks are much more appealing than the All Terrain.

Well done Thomas, again you have set the bar high for car reviews. As for the A6 Allroad, if I cannot get the 5 series BMW Wagon, then maybe the Audi is a good alternative. Regards, Tony

29:04 "Passat again" and that almost laughing look at the camera :D

Thomas, Bought my 2021 A6 Allroad in June after using your site as a valued reference point, and have been loving the last 9 months with it. I lived Europe for 8 years, and had been dreaming about owning an A6 Avant for a very long time. I appreciate the solid feel and power on-demand, along with all the room (I'm a drummer). I keep it in Dynamic mode almost all the time, as I believe it looks best in that low stance. I also had the dealer install the A6 sedan's upgraded wheels in lieu of the Allroad's stock turbines, as that allowed me make the car quite distinctive and keep the painted fenders. The car is Arctic white, and with the after-market tint, has been compared to a Star Wars "Stormtrooper". The only gripe I have is that the HUD glass in the dashboard can throw a distracting reflection in the window at certain sun angles. I had an A5 Sportback before this car, and also noticed it in that HUD. Have you seen this condition in any of your tests? Keep up the great work, I think your comprehensive reviews are the best thing out there. Tschüss.

To me...The ultimate estate/wagon for the U.S. market would be the all road with the added benefit of the 8 speed auto and full paint finish in all exterior colors! BTW...I prefer the classical chorme trim around the window sills.

This, not the S6, with the 349hp diesel and I'm sold. 😎

I owned a 1999 A6 Quatro, it had such poise and balance. It was absolutely magnificent handling mountain Highways throughout British Columbia. Snow, Rain, or Sunny Days, that vehicle just loved to hang. on to the corners. Mine was a rare V-10 and that engine had so much juice. Why did Audi terminate the varied choices of engines??

Great review Thomas, your reviews are the best out there! So this is sadly super expensive though and out of the range of most of us. What’s your favourite off road estate including options for about €50k? (Obviously in Thomas blue!)

Had a 2008 allroad. 2.4 Td. Best car I ever had

One of best car in history

Thanks for the great review. Just test drove the V6 turbo petrol today. Loved it. How would you rank a high spec Audi A6 allroad with the American petrol motor, Volvo V90 Cross Country T6, and the MB E450 All-Terrain? Leaning to Audi.

sound insulation review should include a sound level meter

cool looking vehicle

Finally! i´ve been waiting for this review almost a year now. i got my A6 Allroad in november last year and driven about 10000 km now with an average consumption of 6,5l/100km. the only thing i don´t like about the car is the gearbox. in the city you have to have it in sportmode to get going from standstill and on the highway it downshifts everytime you hit an small uphill climb, even in speed over 100 km/h and in Sweden the new "normal" speed limit on highways are 80km/h and with that speed you don´t get to use the eight gear. i had plans to visit my friend in Zell am Zee this spring and test the car on the autobahn but due to the coronavirus it will have to wait. Anyways, great review as always, looking forward to the next one. Greetings from Sweden

I wish we could get the diesel here in the US. I drove a used a6 Allroad and loved it. I won’t pay that much for used, so a new one will do. Can’t wait to order with the Okapi brown leather. Wish there were better colors. Drab grays are not gorgeous. I like the blue and dark brown paints, but would prefer a red/burgundy one. No such luck! The price is very high, but the Mercedes price for e450 All terrain is insane. I am replacing a bmw 328d wagon with sport seats. I would prefer the Allroad sport seats here. My BMW has been a fantastic car. This car has to be that great.

As usual a professional review by Thomas. I would love to move up from my A4 allroad to the A6 allroad but its way too expensive, for me and for many others. Beginning to wonder if Audi still wants to be a large share luxury brand with cars from the $40s and up. Or if they have decided to be a smaller, niche brand in future with mostly $80-200k cars. More profitable (margin percentage) but smaller.

Impressive car. Impressive review.

So, the body color trim option blending in is sort of the main draw in the US; they won't give the us the normal version, so the body color paint option is the closest we can get to having a normal A6 Avant.

Great review Thomas !! Have been considering this as my next car, another online review of this car did mention a very bad throttle lag, wondering if Audi have fixed this with your test car or did you still feel a lag ? Especially when flooring it .....

I am curious whether anyone managed to get the cloth seats in the US on this car or, more interesting for me, the A4 allroad by asking the dealership. Und Thomas, vielen dank fur die ausgezeichnete Videos!

yes absolutely.

Thanks!

Does the Allroad come with any towing capability ? Is there a factory option for a towing package ?

Thomas sitting in the left lane gives me anxiety sometimes 😂

Amen. Vraiment c'est bien Mrc bcp!

Thank you , Thomas , for your consistently fantastic in -depth reviews ! I have a question about something that seems to get little or no mention. The dashboard reflection in the windshield. I currently own the 2010 A6 Avant V6/3.0 and before that the 1999 and 2004 versions. My 2010 Avant has a little bit of reflection of the defroster grill/vent along the very bottom of the windshield. I'm wanting to purchase the 2020 A6 Allroad , but when I test drove it, I was surprised to see a strong reflection of all the geometric designs from the dash which project into the middle of the windshield. I find this quite distracting and possibly even dangerous. See 27:01 and 28:29 in your video. I watched your review of the Mercedes GLE 450 and see similar reflections. Maybe less with the BMW X5. I did hear you mention reflections in your review of the Tesla X , about the value of its black dashboard. Is this a design flaw in all modern cars that we have to just accept and learn to " live with it " ? Various sites that discuss this suggest using a black non-reflecting dashmat cover , but there's so much stuff that can't be covered so dashmats don't seem to be a good option. You and others often comment on the infotainment screens and their potential for being a hazardous distraction, but I don't see much discussion of the hazard of these strong reflections in the middle of your view. Any thoughts, help, advice on choosing between Audi , Mercedes , BMW in this regard would be most appreciated ! Thanks again for your superb videos ! And also, thank you for your advocating for sustainable and compassionate alternatives to animal products in automobiles !

I have a chance to buy one of these for $42k USD used 2021 with 15k miles but was In a fender bender. Looks in perfect condition and exactly looks like this one.

Those seats look way nicer than US spec

If someone shuttle between city to city for official reason and take family for weekend touring. And you care about your environment, Get rid of gas guzzling suv buy an Estate car.could be any marque, And this one comes in sports economy sense is good investment.Nice Review.

The 55tfsi with v6 petrol engine priced at 560,000CNY(70K euros) in China and dealers usually offer 10% off the MSRP. It's such a bargain given that i paid the same price for a A5 45tfsi quattro in 2017, and almost double the price for a Q7 v6 when it lunched in 2015. It's a shame that allroad don't sell here.

Hello, great video! Can anyone tel, if the standart a6 is on air more or less comfy than the allroad? Or its just the same tuning?

Thomas how does the Allroad compare to the Mercedes and Volvo competitors?

I’m looking forward to the day they make a fully electric A6 Allroad. It’ll be a good few years though, I think. 5 years? 8?

I'm not exactly sure why, but I can't get the VW Atlas Cross Sport out of my head, everytime I look at this new A6 Allroad, and that was not a compliment. As for the interior, it is quite sporty/striking, the ambient lighting is very techno'esque. Personally, the Volvo wagons design is is more easy on my eyes and pleasant to look at than this new Audi, and their interiors are more elegant as well, but the Audi technology and functionality cannot be ignored at all. I would love to visit one in the flesh.

The E450 Estate is still the best wagon for me

Thanks for your thorough review. Overall, what is your opinion on the new Quattro-ultra system? Many parts of world now only gets the new ultra system. Does it seriously hamper the handling or the driving feeling? I’d like to hear your opinion. Thank you.

“Hey! I want that vheels on ze car!! Zese are didferent alloyz!! Zese are kick azz alloyz! I want these alloyz!! Hahaha, that was awesome, when he was looking at the 3D virtual outside view, hahaha.

Salesmans wet dream come true!

Very comprehensive review, thanks Thomas and team 👍. Refined, classic, confident estate.

Beautiful car! But at such a high price especially, it is hard to see it as anything more than a niche product when you compare it with large Audi SUV's that are more practical for families. At least all large Audi's have pretty consistent infotainment systems now, unlike a couple of years ago. It's a good approach. Thank you for the review.

Hi Thomas. Excellent review as always. Would you select the A6 all road above the 5 series x drive?

IMO, all Allroads should have proper permanent AWD and TQ automatic transmissions, especially in this price range. DSG is a solution for tarmack.

The roof roll down in the rear seriously gives away interior headroom and cargo capacity. The roof rails are old fashion construction and look very clunky like 1960's station wagons.

The 2020 Audi A6 Kombi is nicely understated. Let's have the North American market embrace this Kombi. From what I've read Audi USA has specified the base model 2020 A6 Kombi with an array of standard features. My $.02 say the A6 Kombi is a better value for the money than our 2019 MB E450 Kombi. That MB Kombi build $nickeled and $dimed us for every option. Right up to mid $80s USD. Good luck Audi USA.

I work very hard to buy a Audi Allroad not this one but an older version 2016 . Inchallah .

I don't prefer the term off-road for this trim rather cross-over or city daily car.... Nether than less it's still a nice car to have

Hello Thomas 😀! I want to ask the expert on which metallic you think is the nicest on a new A6 Allroad. Chronosgrau Metallic or Gletscherweiß Metallic? I know you would have chosen ”Thomas Blue” 😀. Thanks!

You mentioned some noise at the lower speeds, depending on the AC settings. Does it sound like howling, slight whistling? In my A6 it goes away when the AC is off, but it also can only be heard when actually driving (not while standing).

Wish there was more of a happy medium between this and the RS6..this looks a little boring..it could look a bit more aggressive. I’m not sure about the pre-stained denim blue Alcantara seats 😂

How to compare with old model ?

Excellent review to you and your staff but would love to see the car in off road mode. As to the design, the grille is garish and dashboard looks like something pried from a Pontiac (not a compliment) and piano black should never bee in any car interior. I would like to be able to order higher trim levels but do not want leather, but that seems what VW/Audi does here in the US.

Somebody adopt me and give me this car as an adoption present😊 Thomas, good job once more😎👍 Very impressive fuel consumption 👍👌is there another car that can match this fuel consumption ? Stay cool 😎 Stay safe 😷 Stay healthy 🙋‍♂️

I wish there was an allroad with classic Quattro in US. I'm driving A4 Allroad for 6 month now and already can't wait to switch to A6 wagon. But understanding there are models with Quattro Torsen that we didn't deserve to get in US makes me sick.
