1 OWNER FLORIDA DRIVEN CLEAN CARFAX 2012 AUDI A6 3.0T AWD SEDAN - NAVIGATION - LEATHER - POWER SUNROOF - DUAL ZONE CLIMATE - SATELLITE & MP3 READY STEREO CD - POWER OPTIONS PACKAGE - MORE!

This gorgeous sedan is packed with great features including front bucket seats, power adjustments for driver's seat with lumbar support, three passenger folding rear seat, driver message center, cruise control, power windows, locks and mirrors, steering wheel controls, seat back storage pockets, map pockets in the front doors, rear door child safety locks, air bag safety and so much more!

This A6 sedan is a Florida driven, Florida maintained vehicle and has never been exposed to the harsh winters, roads, mountains, or overall harsh conditions of up north driving.

Vehicle Overview

Scheduled to hit the U.S. market in late summer or early fall of 2011, this 2012 Audi A6 is a complete redesign, the seventh generation of Audi's midsize car. The A6's competitors include the BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS, Jaguar XF and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, among others.

Exterior
This A6's styling has evolved, but it isn't dramatically different from the previous version, as it still bears a deeply plunging grille. The complex headlight clusters are more squat than before, and LED headlights are optional. LED running lights, previously separated from the clusters, are now integrated.

Likewise, the car's dimensions are similar: The wheelbase is close to 3 inches longer, and the car is a mere half-inch wider.

Increased use of aluminum has shaved more than 60 pounds off the car — impressive, because redesigns typically add weight rather than remove it.


Interior
Except for the trunk, which has grown to about 18 cubic feet, the interior volume is comparable to that of the previous generation. Standard leather seats are an advantage over some competitors, most notably BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which include vinyl seats in their base models.

This A6 adopts the latest version of Audi's Multi Media Interface multifunction controller, including MMI touch, which recognizes letters drawn on a touchpad. An associated LCD screen motors out of the center control panel to rest just above dashboard level but not high enough to block the driver's view. Google Earth navigation and Audi Connect telematics are additional options.


Under the Hood
Although Audi has two gasoline and three diesel engines for the A6 in Europe, the U.S. will start only with a 310-horsepower, supercharged gas V-6. The eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission teams with Quattro all-wheel drive.

Audi cites a zero-to-60 mph time of less than 5.5 seconds. The efficiency has improved, but mpg ratings aren't finalized as of this writing.


Safety
This A6 comes with two front, two front-seat-mounted side-impact and two side curtain airbags. As required of all 2012 models sold in the U.S., it has standard antilock brakes and an electronic stability system, which Audi has included for years.

    Fastest and most powerful SUVs in America for 2022

    Wed, Nov 10 2021

    Here in the United States, we enjoy power almost as much as we like our SUVs. Thankfully, we’ve got plenty of both. Traditionally, the most powerful SUVs source their massive horsepower and torque from some form of a V8. While thatÂ’s still generally the case, electrification comes into play more and more, whether itÂ’s mild-hybrid tech, a plug-in hybrid powertrain or, as is the case with the two vehicles topping this list, fully electric vehicles. As we enter the 2022 model year, letÂ’s look at the most powerful SUVs available.  Before we dive in, letÂ’s address the elephant that is waiting just outside the door. Due to supply shortages, Mercedes-Benz is shelving most V8 models for the 2022 model year. Some 2021 models can still be found in dealer inventories, but we wonÂ’t include them. With that in mind, letÂ’s dive into the list. 2022 Audi RS Q8 — 591 hp / 190 mph Read our review of the Audi RS Q8 The only Audi on this list is a hot little number, which we characterized as “an uncompromising option in a field of compromised options.” Powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 (which seems to be a popular format in this list), its 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque get it scootinÂ’ to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, and on to a top speed of 190 mph. It even has the bragging rights of holding the Nurburgring lap record for an SUV.   2022 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge — 592 hp / 155 mph (limited) Read our review of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan This is one SUV where being a passenger might be more exciting than sitting in the driverÂ’s seat, thanks to over-the-top luxury — what do you expect from a car that costs over $350,000? The driver doesnÂ’t go unrewarded, though, with a turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 at their disposal. Thanks to the Black BadgeÂ’s software upgrade, it makes 592 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque to help get to its electronically limited top speed of 155 mph that much quicker.    2022 BMW Alpina XB7 — 612 hp / 180 mph Read our review of the BMW Alpina XB7 Alpina takes already impressive BMW vehicles and turns them into even more powerful, more luxurious machines. The Alpina XB7 improves upon the BMW X7 with a biturbocharged 4.4-liter V8 offering up 612 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. ThatÂ’s good for a 4.0-second 0-60 sprint and a 180-mph top speed. Alpina also adds its own transmission and drivetrain tuning, upgraded suspension, exhaust and a whole slew of unique appearance touches.

    Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

    Thu, 12 Dec 2013

    With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
    The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
    "We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

    Audi Prologue Avant Concept points to the future of wagon design in Geneva [w/video]

    Wed, Mar 4 2015

    The new generation Audi R8 and its LMS GT3 racing version are grabbing much of the attention at the Audi stand at the Geneva Motor Show. However, if you are more interested in seeing the brand's future design direction, just take a look at the Prologue Avant Concept that's also on display. Audi traditionally uses the Avant name for the company's wagons, but that's tweaked slightly here. The vehicle is certainly a five-door, but from some angles it looks more akin to a Porsche Panamera-like hatchback. Compared to the B-pillarless Prologue Coupe (that we recently drove), the stretched roof flows all the way to the angled rear hatch, and the result is a very elegant design. The interior tends towards minimalism with just a few screens showing the driving info. The Prologue Avant also ditches the Coupe's petrol-fueled hybrid for a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo diesel V6 plug-in hybrid with a total of 455 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, which is linked to an eight-speed gearbox. Audi claims the setup reaches 62 miles per hour in 5.1 seconds and allows for 33 miles of pure electric driving. To get a sneak peek at what's next from Audi, take a look at the Prologue Avant Concept on the floor of the Geneva show in the gallery above.
