Can you recommend an Audi A6 Allroad replacement?

My second Audi A6 Allroad has just passed 100,000 miles and although I am not considering changing it yet (my first one did over 200,000 miles), I have to consider what to buy now that Audi have stopped making it available in the UK. It ticked all my boxes as I need a vehicle that can go onto a sometimes rocky North Wales beach to launch and retrieve a boat, and drive to and around the Alps.

I would like AWD, adjustable suspension, under floor protection, hill descent and I would prefer an estate car rather than SUV. Are there any alternatives?

Unfortunately we're not aware of any other modern off-road estate cars that have height adjustable suspension - the majority have standard passive suspension with a raised ride height. It's a dying market as most people have moved to SUVs. Really the only two left on sale today are the Volvo V60 Cross Country and Subaru Outback, but there's also the smaller Audi A4 Allroad that was taken off sale last year.
