What is the ground clearance of the A6 Allroad?
3 Answers
The ground clearance of the A6 Allroad is 139mm. Below are the detailed specifications of the vehicle: Powertrain: Equipped with a 3.0TDI-V6 engine, available in three different tuning versions: the base model, Quattro-50-TDI, and Quattro-55-TDI. The maximum power outputs are 170/210/257 kW, and the peak torques are 500/620/700 Nm. Dimensions: The new vehicle measures 4950/1900/1500 mm in length, width, and height, respectively, with a wheelbase of 2930 mm and a ground clearance of 139 mm.
I've been driving the A6 Allroad for several years, and its ground clearance is truly versatile. When driving in the city, the standard ground clearance is around 139mm, similar to regular sedans. But when I head to the suburbs and encounter rough roads, I can switch to off-road mode with one click, and the air suspension raises the chassis, increasing the ground clearance to approximately 185mm. Once, when I encountered a muddy road in the countryside, raising the suspension prevented any scraping of the undercarriage. The air suspension reacts quickly, taking only a few seconds to go from the lowest to the highest setting. On highways, it can also lower the chassis to reduce wind resistance. Beyond height adjustment, the suspension stiffness changes accordingly, which is particularly noticeable when going over speed bumps. For those who frequently drive on challenging terrain, this design is genuinely practical and much more convenient than a regular sedan.
What I love most about the A6 Allroad is its adjustable air suspension. The standard ground clearance of around 139mm is perfectly adequate for daily driving. But when switched to off-road mode, the air suspension lifts the body by approximately 40mm, achieving nearly 185mm of clearance - enough to handle gravel roads or snow-covered surfaces. I remember last winter when the roads were icy, the raised suspension noticeably improved traction. This intelligent system automatically adjusts height via sensors, lowering at highway speeds for better stability. Compared to fixed-height SUVs, it combines sedan-like handling with light off-road capability. The only drawback is that frequent adjustments may affect air spring longevity, so regular suspension checks are recommended. Overall, this adaptable design is particularly ideal for owners who frequently commute between urban and rural areas.
