The rugged wide body model could also hint at another, faster Audi wagon to come.

Even as Audi continues to expand its SUV offerings , the brand isn’t giving up on the longroof form factor that’s become woven into the fabric of its heritage, with the new A6 Allroad being the latest case in point. And at a time when wagons are on the verge of extinction here, Audi has announced that it’s bringing the new Allroad to the U.S.

More rugged and better-looking than ever, the 2027 Allroad is based on the sixth-generation A6 that went on sale in 2026. Audi didn’t hold back in making its latest alternative to the common crossover even cooler and more capable, thanks in part to the brand’s signature Quattro AWD capability.

Off-Road Wagon Awesomeness
To get it dirt-ready, Audi has fitted the A6 Allroad with several hardware and styling upgrades over the standard A6 Avant wagon sold overseas. Adaptive air suspension raises ground clearance by about 1.3 inches in normal drive modes, while Offroad and Offroad+ add another 0.6 inch; total height adjustment range is about 2.2 inches.
Available four-wheel steering improves agility on pavement and around trail obstacles, helped by a more firmly mounted steering rack for better responsiveness and feedback. Wheels measuring 19, 20, or 21 inches are offered, all with wider rims than before to increase the tire contact patch. Interestingly, the 21-inch wheel comes with a performance tire meant to enhance cornering grip, though that specification may change for the United States.
Likewise, powertrain details remain unclear so far for the model that will eventually arrive here. In Europe, it gets a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6, which almost certainly won’t make it under the hood of the U.S. model. Also unlikely is the available plug-in hybrid built around a turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4 making 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque and using a 25.9-kWh battery that supplies around 30 to 40 miles of electric-only range.
A version of Audi’s updated turbocharged 3.0-liter gas V-6, now rated at 362 hp and 406 lb-ft in the 2026 A6 sedan, seems the most likely engine for the Allroad that will arrive in the U.S. Regardless of powertrain, Audi’s Quattro AWD will be standard.
