It also possesses the potential to turn the wagon world on its ear. Summing up the latest A6 is simple: It blends the utility of an SUV with the ride and handling characteristics demanded of a good sports sedan. The same applies to the steering and brakes - the speed- sensitive steering ensures the right weight for the conditions, while the strong anti-lock brakes deliver fade-free stops that measure 39.1 metres from 100 km/h. This imparts a predictability that adds to the Avant’s practical nature. With four different height settings (over a 50-millimetre range) and adaptive damping, the design all but eliminates body roll, nose-dive and squat under hard acceleration.

The adaptive air suspension allows the driver to tailor it to the conditions. Riding on a stiffer platform (up 34% torsionally from the previous car), four-link front suspension, trapezoidal link rear design and an adaptive air suspension, the setup is such that the Avant is comfortable when cruising yet tenacious when attacking corners. When it comes to handling, the A6 tester is no slouch. It is an effective system that is rivalled only by Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD and BMW’s xDrive in terms of overall performance and the sure-footed feel it imparts. If wheel slip is still an issue, the electronic overseer steps up and reins in the horsepower. Should the front or rear tires begin spinning, the system is capable of firing up to 75% of the drive to the wheels with grip. Mat the gas and power is evenly distributed front to rear. Power is put to the pavement through large P245/45R17 tires, an advanced electronic stability/ traction control system and Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive.
