The new 2013 Audi A6 allroad was unveiled today, but the Ingolstadt manufacturer won't make it available in its dealerships until the coming of spring. Audi's 2013 A6 allroad comes with several updates, in terms of design, technology and with more efficient engines. The 2013 MY version of the Audi A6 allroad is the third of its kind. The previous versions of the A6 allroad were launched back in 2000 and in 2006. Measuring roughly the same as its predecessors (4.94 meters (16.21 ft) long, 1.90 meters (6.23 ft) wide and 1.47 (4.82 ft) meters tall), the 2013 Audi A6 allroad is a full 70 kilograms (154 lb).

As it's always the case with Audi, the 2013 A6 allroad comes with an amazing lighting system. Optionally, it can be equipped with LED headlights and taillights, and xenon plus headlights, which can be combined with an adaptive light.
Audi developed the A6 allroad to offer a more off-road capable version of the A6 Avant. In consequence, the allroad A6 sits six centimeters (2.36 in) higher than the Avant. Some of the 2013 A6 allroad's features that set it apart from the Avant include trim strips on the side sills, wider fenders, a single-frame grille with vertical slats, and stainless-steel underbody protective panels.
