The new A6, the winning car in
business class, has just got better
AUDI has just updated this icon
in the Audi range of cars with new
engines, new transmissions and
new headlights.
Sharp lines, emphasized horizon-
tals, athletically taut surfaces – the
design of the A6 models epitomiz-
es precision and sporty elegance.
It was carefully honed as part of
the model refresh, with changes
made to the Single frame grille,
the headlights, air inlets, bumpers,
side sills, rear lights and tailpipes.
Audi optionally offers headlights
with LED technology or Matrix
LED technology, combined with
dynamic turn signals.
Thanks to its intelligent com-
posite construction concept, the
body is extremely rigid and safe.
Numerous components of alu-
minium and hot-shaped steel form
the backbone of a systematic light-
weight construction concept.
The chassis also combines su-
preme comfort with sporty han-
dling. The sophisticated wheel
suspensions – five-link front sus-
pension and trapezoidal-link at the
rear – are constructed of alumini-
um, and the power steering has an
electromechanical drive system.
Every detail of the spacious inte-
rior is a testament to the brand's
uncompromisingly high stand-
ards of quality. Elegant colours
and carefully selected materials
emphasize the cultivated atmos-
phere.
Options available for the front
seat include ventilation and mas-
sage features.
A new infotainment (a term and
popular buzzword for a media
device or service that delivers a
combination of information and
entertainment) system makes this
car more efficient, more powerful,
more attractive and more sophisti-
cated than ever.
The 2015 Audi A6 is very well-
equipped even at the entry level of
the range. But it's the options for
the line-up that will really impress
drivers and passengers alike. From
Google Earth maps, to in-car wire-
less Internet access, to an innova-
tive system that lets you trace out
letters with your finger, this line-
up goes above and beyond with
technical features and options.
All engines comply with the lim-
its of the Euro 6 emission standard,
and their CO2 emissions have been
reduced by as much as 22 percent.
At Audi, the most efficient engines
bear the "Ultra" label.
The 2.0 TDI "Ultra" with 110 kW
(150 hp) achieves the extremely
low consumption figure – with no
restrictions with respect to equip-
ment – of 4.2 litres of fuel per 100
kilometres corresponding to 109
grams CO2 per kilometre.
The new Audi A6 starts at
€49,900 for the 2.0 TDI 150 hp
Diesel engine with manual trans-
mission.
Other Diesel engines available
are: 2.0 TDI 190 hp and 3.0 TDI
272 hp Quattro
