The AUDI A6 (1997-04) ALLROAD 5DR ESTATE 2.5 TDI 180 QUATTRO is a roomy, upmarket estate with a tougher, raised-up character than an ordinary family wagon. In the UK market it sits between executive estates and early premium crossovers, pairing useful load space with four-wheel-drive confidence. Its discreet styling suits drivers who want practicality without a bulky SUV. Mycarcheck.com records 219 look-ups covering 129 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of interest in this older model.
