Audi has confirmed that it is looking for opportunities to bring more wagons to the US market. The brand currently only offers the RS6 Avant, a high-performance wagon with a twin-turbo V8 engine producing 591 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. The RS6 Avant serves as the brand's halo long-roof, offering supercar pace with family practicality.
The A6 Allroad, which was previously available in the US, was dropped from the lineup after the previous generation. However, Audi has announced that a new A6 Allroad will be launched in the US in 2027, featuring a wider stance, off-road features, and a 3.0 TFSI engine. This move indicates that Audi still sees value in offering wagons in the US market, despite the dominance of SUVs.
Audi's senior vice president of product management, Filip Brabec, stated that the company is always looking for opportunities to offer wagons in the US. He noted that it's a strength that the brand can play with customers who appreciate the practicality and performance of wagons. The new A6 Allroad is expected to arrive in 2027, giving Audi a more attainable wagon option in the US market.
The confirmation of the new A6 Allroad's launch in the US is significant for wagon enthusiasts. It means that there will be a multi-year gap with only the RS6 Avant on sale before a more affordable wagon option becomes available. This move suggests that Audi is committed to offering a range of body styles in the US market, including wagons, despite the current trend towards SUVs.
