Station wagon models are not always the strongest sellers in the US, but many European manufacturers like Audi bring station wagon versions of their sedans for those buyers looking for an extra bit of utility. The A6 Avant is the wagon version of the popular A6 mid-sized luxury sedan. At this time the A6 Avant is only offered in a all-wheel-drive V6 configuration, whereas the sedan's model range includes a V8. Otherwise, the A6 offers all the same amenities as its sedan counterpart including a price tag just shy of $50k.

What Changed:

The A6 Avant returns after sitting out the 2005 model year. The all-new A6 Avant features the mechanics and styling of the sedan model with the added cargo practicality of a wagon. The Avant is initially offered with the 3.2L V6, quattro AWD, and a six-speed automatic.
