Product Overview

Audi A6 allroad quattro C5 (Typ 4B) is an executive station wagon in production from 2000 to 2005. It was available with a range of V6 and V8 engines that displaced 2.5 to 4.2 liters.
The C5 allroad quattro is based on the C5 A6 Avant, with which it shares most of the chassis and design elements. Naturally, the allroad quattro is only available in quattro AWD configuration, though both manual and auto gearboxes were offered.
The main difference is that Audi equipped the allroad quattro with air suspension that can lift the car up, increasing its ground clearance. Design-wise, however, may would argue that the allroad quattro is a major downgrade, with ugly black plastic plastered all over to give a "tough" look that ends up mostly looking rough.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the C5 A6 Allroad quattro comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.
