Audi A6 Wagon - What the Auto Press Says
The 2010 Audi A6 Wagon ranks 3 out of 6 Luxury Wagons. This ranking is based on our analysis of 14 published reviews and test drives of the Audi A6 Wagon, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.
The 2010 Audi A6 Avant combines practicality with luxury and beauty -- a winning combination.
Having been refreshed in '09, the A6 Avant carries into 2010 unchanged -- which is just fine by critics who hail it a success. In fact, Kelley Blue Book calls it "the ideal vehicle for the socially mobile family in need of generous interior space and all-wheel-drive capability, but not at all interested in an SUV."
In 2009, the A6 Avant received a new engine, revised suspension and all-wheel-drive settings, as well as exterior and interior updates. Though it hasn't been extensively tested, those who have driven it are impressed.
Is the A6 Avant too steep for your wallet? Check out the Audi A4 Avant -- which is similarly styled and out performs most of the luxury wagons in this highly competitive class.
In addition to the Avant wagon, the A6 is also offered as a sedan and high-performance S6 trim.
