Yes, the Thule Motion XT 18-Cubic Foot Rooftop Cargo Box # TH629806 will fit well on your 2017 Audi A6 sedan as long as you have a roof rack on the car to mount it to. The Motion XT offers a 165-lb weight capacity (subject to the weight limit of your A6's roof) and internal length of 79-inches.
If you need a roof rack we can help you with one. I recommend a quieter aero-style roof rack that will make less noise than standard round and square bar racks. All aero-style rack systems for the A6 sedan are shown on the linked page.
I suggest the Thule WingBar Evo rack made of parts # TH711420, # TH710501 and # TH145083. I like this rack for its overall value and for the sleek black bars which offer a clean OEM-like appearance that looks less like an add-on feature on the car. For reference, please note that the top of the box will sit 16-inches above the tops of the roof rack bars once it is installed.
I do recommend an accessory for use with the rooftop box. The inexpensive, lightweight and fully-assembled Telesteps folding step # TE97FR makes for easier access to your Motion XT cargo box by giving you about a foot of extra reach whenever you need it. The step is small enough when folded to easily stow inside the box or in the A6. I own one of these steps and it is as handy around the garage and kitchen (for those tall cabinets) as it is for accessing the roofs of our vehicles. The linked video illustrates.
