2022 Audi A6 allroad

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 A6 allroad.

Transmission Automatic (AM-S7)

The 2022 Audi A6 allroad is a rugged luxury wagon built on Audi’s quattro‑capable platform, powered by a turbocharged engine that delivers 21 mpg city/28 mpg highway/23 mpg combined and is paired with an automatic (AM‑S7) gearbox; its 4‑wheel‑drive architecture and high‑ground‑clearance chassis give it off‑road prowess while maintaining refined on‑road comfort. In a year that sits near the middle of the 2020‑2026 model‑year reliability window, the 2022 allroad attracted only two total owner complaints—both centered on the powertrain—yet it was one of the few years to register a modest recall count of four, reflecting a relatively stable build quality compared to the 24 complaints that topped the 2021 complaints peak and the single complaint that marked the 2025 low.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 model year arrives immediately after the generation’s federal complaint peak in 2021—which logged 24 complaints and 12 recalls—and precedes the 2024 model year that shows minimal activity with zero complaints and a single recall. For 2022 specifically, the federal record documents only two complaint instances—one related to powertrain/engine and one categorized as unknown—with zero crash-related or fire complaints reported. This positions the 2022 model in a transitional phase of the trend arc, suggesting a stabilization period following the 2021 spike but before the low-incidence years of 2024–2026. Given this minimal federal footprint with no safety-critical complaints recorded, the 2022 A6 allroad represents a sound acquisition point in the model cycle.
