Arriving in 2012, the third-generation Audi A6 Allroad C7 marked a dramatic technical leap forward thanks to widespread aluminium construction that trimmed up to 70 kg. Equipped as standard with adaptive air suspension that adjusts ground clearance across four preset levels, it excelled as a luxurious, all-weather continent-crosser. Thorough Audi A6 maintenance is critical to manage the advanced running gear and high-torque drivetrains.
In the UK and Europe, the powertrain portfolio was dominated by the 3.0 TDI V6, available in 204 hp, 245 hp, and the monumental 313 hp twin-turbo BiTDI. Lower output engines were paired with the fast-shifting seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission, while the BiTDI utilized the heavy-duty eight-speed ZF Tiptronic torque-converter gearbox. Both systems transmit power through permanent quattro four-wheel drive with a self-locking crown-gear centre differential.
