The 2013 Audi Allroad (A6 Allroad quattro) offered two main engine options depending on the market. In the United States, the standard powerplant is a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 (3.0 TFSI) delivering about 310 horsepower. In Europe and other regions, Audi also offered a 3.0-liter diesel V6 (3.0 TDI), and in some markets a gasoline 3.0 TFSI was available as well. This article lays out those options and their basic characteristics.
Engine options by market
Here is a concise breakdown of the engines the 2013 Allroad could use, organized by region, with basic power and drivetrain details.
United States — 3.0L V6 turbocharged gasoline (3.0 TFSI): approximately 310 horsepower and about 325 lb-ft of torque. Transmission: 8-speed Tiptronic automatic. Drivetrain: quattro all-wheel drive.
In the US, this gasoline 3.0 TFSI was the primary engine choice for the Allroad; diesel options were not typically offered for US-spec models.
