Part executive estate, part SUV... Audi's Allroad has all the dynamic abilities of a luxury car with just enough of the mud-plugging skills of an off-roader. It sounds like the perfect mix - so why doesn't Audi sell more? Well, with a brand new version arriving in the UK, it hopes it soon will.
The new look is kicked off by a bold grille featuring the vertical chrome bars normally the preserve of Audi concepts. Large alloys and discreet plastic wheelarches complete the stylish appearance, although it's more muted than muscular. Unlike its predecessor, the fresh-faced Allroad isn't instantly recognisable as an SUV-aping model.
Inside, the interior is also barely dist-inguishable from the normal A6 Avant's - although few buyers will complain. It is beautifully built and designed with real accuracy. Only when you press the 'car' button on the MMI cabin control system does the newcomer set itself apart from the standard machine.
