Key Takeaways
- Reported at $127,900 (e-hybrid) and $137,900 (TDI) before on-road costs. Audi's own calculator says $140,430 and $154,876 drive-away in Victoria
- The first plug-in A6 allroad: 270kW and 500Nm, up to 87km of claimed electric range and 11kW AC charging
- The diesel is a V6 mild hybrid with 220kW and 580Nm, 37kW more and 20Nm less than the last 45 TDI in our records
- Air suspension, all-wheel steering and quattro all-wheel drive are standard, says Audi
- Audi Australia says “Arriving 2027”; outlets report the first half of the year
- ANCAP: no data
Audi hasn't given up on the jacked-up wagon. The A6 allroad returns for 2027, and for the first time one version plugs in. Audi Australia's model page now reads “Arriving 2027” and lists two versions: an e-hybrid plug-in, which Audi says is a first for the allroad, and a V6 TDI quattro with mild-hybrid help. If you want a wagon's load space with extra ground clearance and would rather not drive an SUV, it's one more to consider.
What It Costs
Three Australian outlets, CarExpert, CarsGuide and Torque Cafe, reported Audi Australia's prices between 20 and 21 October. We couldn't find that announcement on Audi's own site, but the “View starting price” button on the model page opens Audi's calculator, and its numbers are below.
| Variant | Reported price (before on-roads) | Audi list price, excl. LCT | Audi est. drive-away VIC | Audi est. drive-away NSW |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid (petrol engine plus electric motor) | ||||
| A6 allroad e-hybrid quattro 270kW | $127,900 | $119,537 | $140,430 | $140,786 |
| Diesel mild hybrid (V6 TDI) | ||||
| A6 allroad TDI quattro 220kW | $137,900 | $124,725 | $154,876 | $151,286 |
Reported prices as published by CarExpert, CarsGuide and Torque Cafe, before on-road costs. The other columns are Audi Australia's starting price calculator on 23 October 2026, rounded to the dollar: its “Manufacturer's List Price (Inc. GST)”, then its drive-away estimate with the $4,500 dealer delivery fee, luxury car tax, registration and stamp duty added, for a car with no options. Your dealer sets the final price.
The two sets of numbers agree. The reported prices include luxury car tax; Audi's calculator lists the tax on its own line. Add the tax to the calculator's list price, worked out on that price alone, and you land on $127,900 and $137,900. The calculator's own tax lines are a little higher ($9,712.84 and $14,524.84) because it includes the dealer delivery fee in the amount it taxes.
That tax is the interesting part. On Audi's figures the diesel costs $5,188 more as a car and another $4,812 more in luxury car tax. The e-hybrid's tax works out against the higher fuel-efficient threshold ($91,661 for 2026-27) and the diesel's against the standard one ($80,809). In Victoria the gap on the road widens to about $14,450, because Audi's calculator charges the diesel $10,066 in stamp duty against $5,619.60 for the e-hybrid. In NSW it's $10,500.

Thresholds, rebates and rules on this page change each financial year. We check them against the ATO and Audi Australia's price calculator, but always confirm the current position with the relevant authority before you sign. The thresholds quoted are the 2026-27 figures and reindex each 1 July.
What about the last allroad? Our records for it hold no price, so we can't check that one ourselves. CarExpert reported the e-hybrid's starting price is $1,500 more than the diesel-only model last sold here in 2024, and CarsGuide quoted Audi as saying the new car carries “more than $10,000 in additional standard equipment”.
The Two Powertrains
These figures are from Audi Australia's model page. The e-hybrid quattro makes 270kW and 500Nm, runs 0 to 100km/h in a claimed 5.5 seconds, and charges at up to 11kW on AC, from 0 to 80 per cent in as little as two and a half hours. Audi quotes up to 87km of electric range, a figure it footnotes to the ADR 81/02 laboratory test, so expect less in real driving. The outlets report a 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine and a battery with 20.7kWh usable.
The TDI quattro makes 220kW and 580Nm and is a claimed 5.4 seconds to 100km/h. Audi describes it as a new-generation V6 TDI with mild hybrid plus technology. Against the last A6 allroad quattro 45 TDI in our records, rated at 183kW and 600Nm, that's 37kW more and 20Nm less. CarExpert and Torque Cafe report a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic for both versions.

What Makes It an allroad
Audi lists adaptive air suspension, quattro all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering as standard, along with a black exterior styling package. Its page also mentions Audi Sport alloy wheels, Nappa leather, heated, ventilated and massaging front seats and OLED display tech. CarExpert reports 55mm of ride-height adjustment from the air suspension and 20-inch wheels on the TDI, 21-inch on the e-hybrid. CarExpert and CarsGuide both report a $9,900 Premium package among the options.
CarsGuide quoted Audi Australia's A6 product manager, Peter Strudwicke, as saying “the introduction of the e-hybrid is significant for our market.”

Audi Wagons You Can Buy Now
If you can't wait until 2027, our directory lists five Audi wagons as on sale today. These three are the ones we hold a list price (RRP) for, so they line up with the reported allroad prices; the S5 Avant and A5 TFSI Avant listings carry drive-away prices instead.
| Wagon (our rows) | Powertrain | Power / torque | RRP before on-roads |
|---|---|---|---|
| A5 e-hybrid quattro 270kW Avant | Plug-in hybrid | 270kW / 500Nm | $92,900 |
| S5 edition one Avant | Petrol mild hybrid | 270kW / 550Nm | $102,900 |
| RS 5 Avant | Plug-in hybrid | No data / 825Nm | $182,900 |
Current price on CarSorted: Audi RS5 RS 5 Avant $182,900 RRP, as at 1 Oct 2026.
As at 23 October 2026, the figures held in our directory. “No data” means we hold no figure, not that the car has none.
The one to look at is the A5 Avant e-hybrid. Our listing holds the same 270kW and 500Nm as the new allroad e-hybrid, at $92,900 before on-roads. That's $35,000 under the reported allroad price, for an A5-sized wagon. What the extra money buys is the bigger A6 body and the allroad hardware Audi lists as standard: air suspension, all-wheel steering and more ground clearance. Whether that's worth $35,000 is your call.
What This Means for Buyers
If you were going to buy the diesel out of habit, run the numbers before you decide. The e-hybrid is cheaper to buy on Audi's own figures, only a tenth of a second slower to 100km/h, and has up to 87km of claimed electric range for people who can charge at home. The diesel may suit long country runs where you won't be plugging in. Our fuel cost calculator will show the running-cost side once Audi publishes fuel figures. Its A6 allroad page doesn't list fuel use or a towing capacity yet.
Safety: no data. We hold no ANCAP rating for the new A6 allroad, and we won't show a star rating until ANCAP publishes one. The rest of the line-up is on our Audi page.
