Audi A6
Audi A6 50 TDI Quattro and ElddisThis combination is great tows better with a bit of weight in the van car has loads of torque so towing isn’t an issue also the all wheel drive is great getting it off muddy fields
Audi A6 3.0 TDI quattro aut. and SpriteMorning all .
I tow with a 2016 audi A6 272 3.0 V6 TDI estate.
The power is great and will pull the sprite Major 4sb with ease. Make sure you have the gear box in auto ! I fitted spring tensioners to the rear and found this was the better drive when towing. Also make sure you have 75 kg on the tow hitch.
Great towing car when hitched and loaded correctly with the power to get you out of trouble plus 4x4 ...

Audi A6 2.0 TDI aut. and FendtA6 Avant with a total load weight of about 2200 kg is an excellent match to the caravan’s total of about 1750 kg, allowed max is 1800 kg. Driving at 80 - 100 km/h on highway in D6, occassionally D7. Uphill 5 -7% in D5 at maintained speed, in D4 when accellerating from 80 to 100 is no hazzle.
Audi A6 3.0 TDI quattro aut. and CoachmanHi,
Only had one outing with the outfit but very impressive. No movement even in side wind. Averaged 26.4 mpg over a 140 mile run. The car has so much power I had to keep on looking in the mirror to make sure the caravan was still there.
The only downside I have found up to now is that the cars13 pin plug is a little awkward to connect. I had to go on one knee to connect it.
Audi A6 Avant 2.7 TDI Quattro aut. and ElddisThis car was my tug for 14,000 miles in 2014 around Spain with a big twin axle van.
It was the SE model with a factory fitted towbar and all round air suspension.
The quattro 4WD kept things in order but I did notice that the tailgate had started to rub marks onto the boot lip where the body had been flexing. I think the 75kg nose weight was too low for a big twin axle.
The car had very little problems taking the van where I pointed it, up steep hills and on twisty bumpy roads. It was pretty unremarkable to be honest, it did the job with no drama.
Free from the van it was very nice to drive and possibly something I could consider owning as a year round driver.
Fuel economy was not bad towing, around the late 20\'s to early 30\'s and solo typically above 45mpg.
Its a very nice and reliable car, but for a big twin axle, its Achilles heal is its low nose weight allowance. The allroad is a better bet.
Audi A6 2.7 TDI Quattro aut. and GeistI have used a 2007 TDI 2.7 Audi A6 Le Mans Quattro to tow the Geist LV555 for the last few years and it is incredibly good at towing this heavy caravan. very stable, plenty of power with no stability issues. It makes for very relaxed towing especially using the cruise control on long motorway sections, highly recommended
Audi A6 2.0 TDI and CompassA6 2.0 TDI saloon 58 plate + Corona 540 - Perfect match, happily tow above "speed limit" & pass all lorries on motorway. Very stable, very comfortable driving, 30 + mpg
Audi A6 2.7 TDI Quattro aut. and LMCvery good tow car with this size caravan and more have been all over /netherlands/spain/switzerland/belgium/france/italy and so on and it has been 100% 5 star
Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TDI and Compassbeen towing 10 years with audi a6,and compass rallye 524.very stable and matched outfit even if it is at 89% weight ratio.always level and smooth.would recomend this car for caravan of 1527kgmax for this car would be 1600kg.and what other car would tow this van and give 35mph?
Audi A6 Avant 1.9 TDI [5MT] and AbbeyWe have owned the Audi and Abbey for 5 years now and the car has pulled us all over with out any problems up hill down dales and to France 3 times now thinking of getting another as it has now got 120000 on clock i get 30MPG with van on back solo average is 52MPG great car dont see many towing van and i dont know why very stable outfit
Audi A6 2.0 TDI [Multitronic] and ElddisThis car tows with ease and sits easily at a steady 60MPH (with cruise control on) on motorways and dual carriageways. I used the tiptronic on hills and on twisty roads. I have many years towing experience and find this car on the best i have had for comfort and ease of driving. If fuel economy is a big issue with you STOP TOWING CARAVANS ! ! 21 MPG avarage whilst towing caravan was more than acceptable to me !
Audi A6 Avant 2.7 TDI Quattro aut. and BessacarrI tow a Bessacar Cameo 550GL(1800kg) with a 2011 model yearAudi A6 Avant Quattro(last of old model) and find it can be a little tail happy if the car is not loaded sufficiently.The gear ratios are also more suited to sporty driving rather than towing. Not as good a towcar as the VW Touareg 3.0 Altitude I drove previously which was a superb towcar except for towing consumption of 20mpg compared to Audi's 24mpg. Suggest you stick to 85% rule if using this towcar.
Audi A6 2.7 TDI [Multitronic] and SterlingHave found that my care tows this caravan with ease and its not the quattro model.
Audi A6 2.0 TDI and BaileyIn low gears you wouldn't know that you were towing. Pulls really well and acceleration is good. Can cruise at 60mph using cruise control in 6th gear and achieve approximately 35mpg. Towing is also stable thanks to the alko stabliser. Only been towing a year and very pleased with this combination.
Audi A6 3.2 FSI Quattro aut. and FendtEl conjunto fenomenal el coche va de maravilla, solo puedo decir que muy bien, unicamente el consumo se va a 17 litros de gasolina.
Audi A6 2.0 TDI and CompassI find the Audi A6 TDI SE a very good stable towing vehicle and very comfortable ride with my Compass Omega 524,. compared to a 4x4 which I had before.good full consumption average 33mpg
Audi A6 Avant 2.5 TDI Quattro aut. and Geistmust be the ideal outfit for todays conditions.
Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro aut. and Baileya6 tdi le mans quattro auto. new for 38K. 42 mpg solo,24 mpg min towing.the gearbox is fantastic and works well with the paddle shift when towing.sat nav isnt the best but the mmi system is easy to use.massive boot.must agree with the above that the dealer network can be shocking to deal with.recently went to px for a q7 but there didnt seem as much space across the cabin. my a6 does everthing i want and it tows very well.
Audi A6 Avant 1.8T Quattro and Bjolseththis car and a bjølseth 530 boggi is ok, the total weight was 3260kg. I didnt need to use 3 gear driving upp hills. on the flats i cruised at 5 gear at 80-90 km\h. fuel consumption is also good, 13L\100km
Audi A6 Avant 2.5 TDI aut. and SterlingTows ok, but Audi developed fault whilst towing over the alps and ended up with 2k Audi repair bill.
Now considering changing car for a 4*4
Audi S6 Avant 5.2 FSI V10 Quattro aut. and SwiftClearly more than enough power to pull any caravan. The S6 is effortless whether towing or not. We average 21mpg motorway driving solo and around 17mpg with the caravan. It feels very solid and composed when towing. With the Avant the in-car storage space is great and there's a full size spare. We're planning on switching caravans soon to a twin axle.
Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TDI and AbbeyThe 2.0 TDi A6 is stable and pulls the van easily once moving, can sometimes struggle pulling off from standstill uphill due to front wheel drive traction and limited torque below 1800 rpm. Non-Audi factory fit towbar wiring with model specific electronics can create ESP faults when the electronics are energised. This requires reprogramming to reactivate ESP with the towbar option enabled (£150). Alternativly use the cheaper option of installing conventionally wired electrics. On the whole a good tow car for a medium size / weight van.
Audi A6 3.2 FSI Quattro aut. and SwiftOutfit works well. The car is petrol and has plenty of power but sometimes changes down from 6th on inclines. Boot and interior are big and auto box can be used as a manual. Fuel economy is 18-20 towing (focuses the mind!), 25-30 solo. The towing figure is the penalty for towing a heavy caravan with larger petrol engine I guess and a classic case of buying a car before I got into caravanning. I use a stableliser but as this is my first outfit I can't comment on how much difference this makes.
Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro aut. and SwiftBought this "car" on the advice of the salesman that it would be an "ideal towcar" He really should boe up on his figures again. I have never driven such a noisy, uncomfortable, uneconomical car in my life!! It isnt even that good pulling up hills. The economy is down to 18mpg towing and struggles to rise much above 30 on a long motorway run. Best figure achieved 34 at 60 on A roads. Went to dealer to enquire if there was a problem with it and was given the cold shoulder and at one point told I was naive to expect more from such a big car. Audi customer services never even replied to my complaint. I can think of a lot better ways to waste 41000 pounds than to spend it on a new one of these. Will never purchase Audi again and am returning to BMW which is on order just now.
Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro aut. and SwiftWhat can I say..... Audi A6 3.0tdi Quattro!! What a complete waste of 32000 quid. Its uncomfortable, noisy, harsh to ride in, auto box is ridiculously slow to change and thats with the "sports paddle shift" option!! What a joke!! Only thing thats sporty about this vehicle is the fuel economy!! 19.5mpg streching to a lofty 31 running solo!!!! Vorsprung durch garbage would be better tag line for them!! Dealer in Aberdeen even worse. Sales manager was abusive when I had the cheek to complain about it!Never will I darken the door of an Audi dealership again!!!
Audi A6 Avant 1.9 TDI and SterlingCar has plenty of power to cope with this caravan, pulls well in all gears although i like to drop down to 4th gear when the revs drop below 1900 as to keep up the torque. on a journey recently i averaged 32 mpg towing.
The car is very stable and i feel happy towing consistantly @ 55mph and at time was at more but i do not make a habit of going harder as a safety point of view, the only time you feel unsteady is with gusts of side winds.
At time of purchase the van was loaded badly and did feel a bit unsteady but the nose weight was over 95kg when i checked it AND with the 75kg nose weight it was totaly fine.
I am very happy with the combination !
Audi A6 Avant 2.5 TDI Quattro and BaileyAn excellent outfit. The audi gives the normality of a car, with the benefits of a 4x4. Have been to France many times, and bobbed along at 80mph (permitted over there), and been v. stable. All the traction and pull needed in a 5 year old car. The Auvergne is lovely - why have they stopped making it? 2 double beds and when needed, one lounge, one playroom when wet with the kids. Lots of space, kit is great.
Audi A6 2.7 TDI and SwiftThe outfit tows like a dream plenty of power and stability it is even better than my old Abbey 21' 2 berth to tow.
Audi A6 Avant 2.7 TDI [Multitronic] and Avondalesuspension a bit choppy?apart from that perfect
