2027 Audi A6 allroad confirmed for Australia with prices from $127,900 and first-ever plug-in hybrid

Australian confirmation and pricing

The fifth-generation Audi A6 allroad has been confirmed for Australia, with the plug-in hybrid variant offered locally for the first time. According to CarExpert, Audi Australia has priced the range from $127,900 before on-road costs for the A6 allroad e-hybrid quattro 270kW, with the TDI quattro 220kW listed at $137,900 plus on-road costs. The brand describes it as the most comprehensively equipped A6 allroad to date, with local arrival expected during the first half of 2027. ¹

CarExpert notes the entry price is only $1500 above the previous diesel-only A6 allroad last sold here in 2024, with a claimed $10,000 worth of additional specification over that car. Unlike that outgoing model, the new range opens with the plug-in hybrid rather than the diesel, which now commands a $10,000 premium over the e-hybrid. ¹

In Europe, Audi states the new A6 allroad has been on sale from a base price of €77,250 for the V6 diesel and €80,250 for the plug-in hybrid. These overseas list prices are on a different basis to the Australian before-on-road-cost figures and are not directly comparable. ⁴⁵

Plug-in hybrid and diesel powertrains

The A6 allroad e-hybrid quattro combines a 2.0-litre TFSI turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor for system outputs of 270kW and 500Nm. Per CarExpert, it carries a 25.9kWh (gross) battery with 20.7kWh usable, and supports AC charging only, at up to 11kW. Audi's media centre confirms the powertrain details and says a full AC charge takes about two and a half hours, with a Mode 3 Type 2 charging cable included as standard. ¹²³⁴

There is a discrepancy in the electric range figures: Audi's media materials cite up to 95km of combined WLTP electric driving, while CarExpert reports a claimed figure of up to 87km for the Australian-market car. Neither publication resolves the difference, so both figures should be treated as manufacturer claims on differing bases. ¹²³

Audi's technical data sheet for the e-hybrid lists combined electric range of 92–102km and 0–100km/h acceleration of 5.5 seconds, with a governed top speed of 250km/h. Weighted combined fuel consumption is listed at 2.8–2.3 L/100km, or 7.7–7.0 L/100km with a discharged battery. ⁴

The TDI variant uses a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel producing 220kW and 580Nm, paired with Audi's MHEV plus 48-volt mild-hybrid technology. CarExpert explains this includes an electrically powered compressor that reduces turbo lag, plus limited electric-only driving at very low speeds. Audi's specifications add that the belt starter generator and powertrain generator can contribute up to 18kW of extra power, and quote 0–100km/h in 5.4 seconds with combined fuel use of 6.4–5.8 L/100km. ¹²⁵

Both powertrains send drive to all four wheels through a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission. Audi says its quattro with ultra technology, fitted to both the V6 TDI and the e-hybrid, keeps all-wheel drive permanently available while decoupling on demand to reduce friction and improve efficiency. Audi Australia's own magazine notes the e-hybrid is rated to tow up to 2000kg and the V6 TDI up to 2500kg. ¹⁴³

Air suspension, all-wheel steering and dimensions

The new allroad is markedly wider than before. Audi states the body is 5016mm long, 1986mm wide (2099mm including mirrors) and 1479–1508mm tall, with a 111mm widening over the A6 Avant and 84mm over its predecessor in the model's 27-year history. CarExpert reports the same 5016mm length, width of 1986mm and height of up to 1508mm, and says the car sits 34mm higher than the A6 Avant and 16mm higher than the previous-generation allroad. ²¹³

Adaptive air suspension is standard with 55mm of adjustment range. According to Audi, the offroad and offroad+ modes raise the ride height a further 15mm and retune the dampers, with offroad+ allowing more traction-control slip and stronger electronic differential lock intervention; a lift function adds another 20mm at speeds up to 35km/h, while the car lowers to normal level above 85km/h. CarExpert confirms these details for the Australian range. ²¹³

All-wheel steering is standard on the plug-in hybrid in Australia. Audi describes a system that turns the rear wheels up to 5.0 degrees against the fronts at up to about 60km/h, cutting the turning circle by up to a metre, and up to 2.0 degrees in the same direction at higher speeds. CarExpert matches this description and notes the TDI in Australia also lists all-wheel steering among its standard equipment. ²¹

Equipment, interior and safety

Audi Australia's local specification, as reported by CarExpert, includes 20-inch Audi Sport wheels on the TDI and 21-inch wheels on the e-hybrid, the S line interior package, sport front seats in perforated Nappa leather with heating, ventilation and massage functions, a 11.9-inch virtual cockpit, a 14.5-inch OLED MMI touch display, a 10.9-inch front passenger display, a head-up display, a panoramic glass roof with switchable transparency, a 685-watt 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system, 4-zone climate control and a 360-degree camera system with front dash camera. The e-hybrid adds home and public AC charging equipment. ¹

Assistance technology is extensive across both variants. CarExpert lists adaptive cruise assist and active lane assist for semi-autonomous highway driving, autonomous emergency braking, front cross-traffic assist, front and rear turn assist, side assist with exit warning, lane departure warning, emergency assist, proactive occupant protection and speed sign recognition, with nine airbags including a front-centre unit. ¹

Two option packages are offered. Per CarExpert, the $9900 Premium package adds digital Matrix LED headlights and digital OLED tail lights with switchable light signatures, power-latching doors, a heated steering wheel, heated outer rear seats, an electrically adjustable steering column, manual rear sun blinds and advanced parking functionality. A $500 Customised contour seats package brings contrast top-stitching, pneumatically adjustable bolsters and electrically adjustable thigh support. ¹

Context: a heritage name, first revealed mid-2026

Audi's Australian magazine traces the allroad lineage to the original allroad quattro, unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show in the late 1990s as an A6 Avant-based crossover with height-adjustable suspension and underbody protection, and notes the new car is the fifth iteration. It argues the formula of an elegant, higher-riding wagon with genuine off-road ability has particular resonance in Australia, where unsealed surfaces feature in many customers' lives. ³

The new generation was first revealed by Audi in June 2026, with European ordering from 18 June and market launch in autumn 2026 from €77,250. German dealer publication autohaus.de reported the same June order start, a second-half-year launch and a base price of around €77,000, characterising the wider body as approaching the proportions of an RS 6. Exact local specification and pricing were initially flagged by Audi Australia's magazine as to be announced before the Australian introduction, a gap now filled by the confirmation reported by CarExpert. ²⁶³¹
