2027 Audi A6 allroad returns to Australia with hybrid and diesel engines

The new Audi A6 allroad arrives in Australia with a plug-in hybrid option for the first time.

Audi Australia has confirmed the fifth-generation A6 allroad, ending a two-year absence. The base model is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) with a 2.0-litre petrol engine, electric motor and 25.9kWh battery, making 270kW and offering up to 87km of electric range.

A diesel alternative uses a 3.0-litre V6 TDI with mild-hybrid technology, making 220kW but more torque. The A6 allroad models both drive all four wheels via a seven-speed automatic.

The PHEV starts at $127,900 before on-road costs; the diesel is $137,900. Audi says the new model comes with $10,000 more equipment than the previous diesel-only version from 2024, while the price has risen only $1,500.
