In this video, we head to Ingolstadt to explore everything you need to know about the 2026 Audi A6 Allroad. We show you its 21-inch alloys, flared wheelarches and sporty, RS6-inspired body kit that swaps the traditional "country Barbour" look for something much more aggressive.

We also demonstrate its incredible new lighting technology, including taillights that display warning triangles to stop people tailgating you! Inside, the cabin is packed with tech, with MMI panoramic displays and a dedicated 10.9-inch passenger touchscreen (perfect for watching movies on the move).

We test the A6 Allroad's passenger space and reveal its boot capacity, before finally breaking down the engine options: a 295bhp 3.0-litre V6 diesel mild-hybrid, and a 362bhp plug-in (PHEV) model capable of 59 miles of EV range.
