Australian data has let slip to the world a global return of Audi’s large, higher-riding luxury wagon after a switch to a new model. Audi A6 Allroad spy photos. The high-riding Audi A6 Allroad wagon will return for another generation after the success of its predecessor in Australia and Europe as an alternative to the brand’s Q-series SUV line-up. And confirmation has not come from a media release published by Audi HQ in Europe, but the documents car companies submit to the Australian government to approve a new model for sale locally, seen by Drive . It suggests that once the A6 Allroad is revealed – something likely to occur soon – Australians interested in the new wagon may be in for a much shorter wait than the typical 12 months it takes new Audis to reach local showrooms.

A technical overhaul and styling update for BYD’s popular small SUV is coming to Australia soon, but an all-new model shown in China looks to be some time away. A significant upgrade to BYD’s first high-volume car in Australia, the Atto 3 small electric SUV, is on track for Australian showrooms by the end of the year.

New survey data from an Australian dashcam company revealed that more than 1 in 10 motorists said they were a victim of a hit-and-run. If your daily commute involves driving on a regular basis, you’ve probably had some close encounters with some bad drivers. And while dangerous motorists are increasingly called out on social media, with pages including Dashcam Owners Australia naming and shaming these drivers, new data has revealed a concerning trend among local motorists. RELATED: The crucial road rules Aussie drivers keep ignoring In a survey conducted by dashcam company Navman – which polled more than 1000 Australian drivers – more than 1 in 10 respondents reported being victims of a hit-and-run, with these participants unable to gather any evidence, leaving them to pay for their car repairs themselves.
