AUDI’S new A6 Avant is now available to order at a £2,080 premium over the saloon variant. Deliveries of Audi’s latest estate car will begin in the spring, with prices ranging from £26,505 on-the-road to £46,265.

From launch, the car will be offered with a choice of four V6 engines (2.4-litre and 3.2-litre petrol engines as well as 2.7 TDI and 3.0 TDI diesels) or a 4.2-litre V8 petrol engine.

The Avant offers up to 1,660 litres of luggage space. A two-tier load floor with a foldable and multi-position lockable top prevents loads from sliding in transit and a wipe-clean plastic tray is built into the level below. It also features a cargo securing system with two rails recessed into the floor combined with four sliding, adjustable and lockable lashing eyes.
