Audi Allroad 2000 test drive - 2006 SUV

Audi A6 Allroad Quatro: under the "brick" and vice versa

We decided not to pay attention to a rusty sign with a barely noticeable brick. Smooth asphalt was left behind, gravel crushed under the wheels, the long nose of A6 OLRUD described the arc and aimed down.
The apple orchard stuck to the slope, and a dwarf tractor appeared due to dwarf trees. So for whom this track with narrow turns and large cobblestones, speaking with knocks in the suspension. Below, even lower in Northern Italy, it is generally very beautiful, and here the lake, clamped in the rocks, is a rocky shore, and about seventy meters over our heads on the arches of the highway of the highway, which we left the road for everyone
The car that brought us here sometimes allows you to choose your own, original path like this. For him, the Audi A6 Allroad Quatro is well equipped, and some of the arsenal will have to be involved. It’s good to go down the stairs well, and an elevator is often chosen for lifting. So I turn to the MMI terminal (car interface, an intermediary with a monitor and several handles for more convenient communication with the machine), find the suspension modes and choose yes, the elevator. In the nearest landmarks, it is clear that the car now pops up under the bottom of 185 mm. Like Kalina, I remember inappropriately and I begin to carefully maneurate the soft soil here, there is a large fragment, clearly visible in the rear view chamber. A farewell look at the water surface, and now Ollroud starts upstairs.
On the asphalt, he deftly disguises himself under the closest relative. By the way, the name emphasizes family features. The 2000 model was called Audi Allroad, the current Audi A6 Allroad Quatro. Feel? Well, on the highway it is a wonderful road car, without any amendments for compromises with cross-country ability. We take one climb after another, navigation barely keeps up with drawing turns. It was just 200 m above sea level and now 1700! In fact, a high -speed elevator oh! I forgot about the suspension to whom I needed to remember: automation has long lowered the car to the road level.
A three -liter turbodiesel is even and powerfully gaining momentum, working with an automatic Tipronika automatic box. Mechanics are also available, but I strongly doubt its demand in the Russian market; If you really pull the gears manually, twitch the machine petals under the wheel or the handle itself. And make sure that it is, by and large, to intervene in his work.
He does not have a new olroud very worthy of weak engines at all, so on the serpentine and on the autobahn easily breaks away from fellow travelers. And there, at the forefront, you can relax, evaluate the surrounding comfort and think about this. The first 20 pages of the press release are devoted to all kinds of things, beautiful and useful: the branded grille of the radiator and the protection of the thresholds, birch cap and chromium, heated steering wheel and DVD, climatic installation and cell phone, isofix and pillows, xenon and LEDs, luggage nets and relings and religions and religions and religions. Only then the story of TDI and FSI engines, a full drive, air suspension, about what the company was always proud of and what was always considered the main in the car. And now no longer? Well, quite philosophy! Moreover, we drove up to the section offered by the organizers. Again, it would not be cool down that would not damage the luxurious bumper!
The plot, however, turned out to be completely simple, an ordinary grader, easily and quickly passed without any elevators in the suspension. Nevertheless, on an ordinary passenger car of a similar class, the same A6, I would not stick here. And I would not see how grapes grow here and how honestly! Local Juliet lunch under the vine
Can you imagine how many such limited places in our country? I’m not talking about the fact that at a certain time of the year, all of Moscow is hard to pass for the road machine to move to A6 OLRUD on all roads without restrictions will cost $ 76,000 (the price of a gasoline version, diesel engines will be later). The Russian premiere took place on June 17.

V6 for A6
In the gamut of the engines of six turbodiesels 2.7 and 3.0 liters of V6 configuration. Their length is 444 mm, and the three -liter motor is the easiest in the class of only 219 kg. The camshaft drive was moved back, a high -strength cast iron of a special structure was used to cast a block. The fuel system Common Rail includes piezoform; The force for moving the spray needle is reduced from the previous 16 to 4 HS. Thus increased speed and accuracy. Fuel is injected into the cylinder three times for the beat, which reduces noise and toxicity (all motors satisfy Euro IV), increases the return.

SUV, crossover, all -wheel drive station wagon? Audi-A6 OLRUDA CVRO is a car that does not need to adapt to Russia.

Five modes with an elevator
Adaptive air suspension with the ability to vary the road clearance is one of the main features, which turned the Audi A6 all -wheel drive into an allwood. Shock absorbers surround the pneumoballons in front of pneumoballons; At the back, elastic and extinguishing elements of the suspension are separated to increase the volume of the trunk. The suspension is regulated by electronics, which provides the best comfort and running qualities, regardless of the load of the car and the condition of the road. In addition, the driver can change the clearance in the 60 mm range, selecting one of five modes on the display. In the dynamic under the bottom of only 125 mm, do not forget about this, leaving the highway! In this case, there is a convenient automatic 140 mm or the same 125 if the car moves for a long time faster than 120 km/h. In comfort under the bottom there is always 140 mm, in allwood solid 175 mm (but after 80 km/h the car squats up to 160, after 120 km/h to 140 mm). Finally, in the elevator mode (operates only up to 35 km/h), the road clearance of 185 mm allows you to carefully let the cobblestones between the wheels. Now geometric cross -country ability is noticeably higher than that of road machines, although all -districts are still far away: the angles of entry, congress and ramp, respectively, 18.3, 21.5 and 18.5 degrees.
