T he Audi A6 Avant is a capacious, good-looking, premium-badged estate car of enormous suavity and more than decent road manners.
Under its elegantly lengthy bonnet, you’ll find a wide range of engines, including a 201bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel (badged 40 TDI) and a 282bhp 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel (50 TDI). Petrols are a 2.0-litre in either 201bhp 40 TFSI or more potent 261bhp 45 TFSI form and a 335bhp 3.0-litre (55 TFSI) for proper poke. There’s also a 344bhp dieselpowered S6 super-sporting version if you want to scare the dog silly.
