The Audi A6 Allroad may lack the flat-out performance of the RS 6 Avant Performance, but it is the more versatile of the marque’s current wagons (the A4 Allroad was discontinued after last year). That’s because the cult-favorite model, which was introduced as the tail end of the last century, was designed for specifically for off-roading. It’s powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 that makes 335 hp and 369 ft lbs of torque, which is sent to all four corners via Audi’s trademark quattro all-wheel-drive system. It’s not as visually striking as the Autobahn-conquering RS6 Avant, but it’s raised ride height, chunky protective cladding, and all-terrain tires make it a welcome alternative to the brand’s sometimes generic-looking SUVs.
