stronger construction doesn't necessary lead to better results
In fact sometimes to worse results. See myriad SUVs.
I'd expect the results to be about the same. Of course, I am a pessimist.

The big SUVs damage those around them not their passengers
Internally the allroad should provide at least as much protection as the A6. Whether the stronger floor pan results in an inability to absorb impact remains to be seen but I've seen some pretty twisted up cars in front of pretty clean looking Suburbans after accidents. ( this may be a testiment to how bad the brakes are on Suburbans)I have read postings on the A6 forum about body flex and sqeaky sunroofs. I postulate that the ribbed roof in the allroad also contributes to its overall strength.
