Audi launched the first generation of the A6 allroad quattro nameplate in 1989, and exactly two decades after the introduction of this model, it unveiled the fourth iteration of it in 2019.

The third generation of the A6 Allroad came on the market in 2012 to prove that Audi was right when it decided to introduce a crossover vehicle based on the Audi A6 Avant.

After the success recorded by the first generation of the Audi A6 Allroad, the German car-maker decided to build a successor for it and, in 2006, it launched a completely new Audi A6 Allroad.

The crossover category was not established clearly in 1999 when Audi showed its first generation of the Audi Allroad Quattro, but it was a commercial success.
