Overview
The Audi A6 has been recognized as world's most successful sedan because of its elegant design, all-wheel-drive performance, and stylish cabin. After tasting success with Audi A6, the company introduces the Audi A6 with a re-designed exterior and interior, re-configured suspension, and more efficient engine choices. The car excels in every aspect with regards to style, performance, value, safety, and environment friendly.
The Audi A6 with refreshed features and technologies embodies company's philosophy of 'Vorsprung durch Technik'. The new design of the Audi A6 also reflects the car's strong personality. The launch of this facelifted model coincides with the golden jubilee of Audi. The car fulfills company's commitment to offer premium luxury cars with thrilling design and superior technology in the car market.
Powertrain & Performance
The Audi A6 is available in a choice of four engines comprising 3.0-litre TFSI, 2.8-litre FSI, 3.0-litre TDI, and 2.7-litre TDI. Three of the four engines are the same as the existing Audi A6 model but the 3.2-litre FSI is replaced by the high performance 3.0-litre TFSI engine that provides a combination of dynamic performance and low fuel consumption.
The 3.0-litre TDI produces 229 bhp, 2.8-litre V6 petrol engine generates 207 bhp, 2.7-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine churns out 177 bhp, and the advanced supercharged 3.0-litre FSI engine generates an awesome power output of 296 bhp. The supercharger used in the high performance engine is a Roots-style unit with twin four-vane rotors positioned entirely between the cylinder banks.
TFSI is a turbocharged fuel stratified injection engine is the latest advancement in engine technology. It uses a high pressure direct injection pump that ensures injection of fuel directly into the combustion chamber through electronically controlled injection valves. This innovation in engine technology is aimed at allowing higher compression ratios and more efficient fuel intake. This in turn helps deliver high performance and low fuel consumption.
The Audi A6 like the old A6 is fitted with an efficient six-speed automatic transmission. It also comprises the Quattro four-wheel drive that ensures improved traction and dynamic driving style by variably distributing the drive forces to both front and rear wheels through mechanical center differential.
Audi has also improved the suspension of the new A6 to increase the level of comfort and handling. The electronically adapted air suspension with adjustable damping automatically adapts the suspension according to driving situation. Depending on the driving situation the suspension automatically switches over to any of the four basic setting comprising lift, comfort, automatic, and dynamic.
Build & Styling
The design of the Audi A6 radiates a perfect harmonization of power, elegance, excitement, and style. The design of the new Audi A6 is emphasized by a range of bold new accents, a coupe style roof line, distinctive shoulder line, and unique details like single-frame grill, revamped bumpers, air vents, and fog lights. Furthermore, the xenon plus, LED daytime running lights improve the functionality and appeal of the car.
The interior of the car is fascinating and spacious with elegant contours and perfect craftsmanship. The rear seats have been re-defined for better comfort and the instrumentation is refurbished with higher resolution graphics. The steering wheel, dashboard, and centre console form a single cockpit unit around driver's seating position. The interior cabin also carries the advanced Audi Multi Media Interface (MMI) system that controls all the functions of the car. Audi Side Assist and Audi Lane Assist are the technological innovations in the car that not only improve safety but also ensure better handling.
