Vehicle Overview
All A6 models now have standard curtain-type airbags, and Audi stretches its warranty of the entire vehicle by one year to four years/50,000 miles, including scheduled maintenance.

The A6 is the midpriced model in Audi’s lineup, and it returns in sedan and wagon (called Avant) styling with a choice of front-wheel drive or Quattro permanently engaged all-wheel drive. Audi is the luxury division of Volkswagen, and about 80 percent of Audi’s U.S. sales are Quattro models.

Curtain airbags that deploy along the side windows in side collisions are a new standard feature on the A6 2.8 and 2.7T models, instead of as an option in previous model years. They already were standard on the top-shelf A6 4.2.

The Electronic Stabilization Program, a lateral-skid control system, is a new standard feature on the 2.7T and 4.2 sedans and optional on the 2.8 sedan. Steering-wheel controls for the audio system and a cellular telephone are now standard on the 4.2 sedan and optional on the others.

Exterior
The A6’s smooth, flowing shape was introduced for the 1998 model year. Revamped front styling with a longer hood debuted last year to accommodate a new V-8 engine. At 192 inches overall, the A6 is the same size as the Acura 3.2TL and slightly longer than the Lexus ES 300.



Interior
The elegant, luxurious interior provides ample room for five adults, and all are treated to leather-trimmed seats. Wood trim on the doors, center console and dashboard add touches of warmth. The dashboard has attractive white-on-black gauges, but Audi uses red instrument lighting that some find too harsh on the eyes.

Audi says the A6’s trunk holds 15.4 cubic feet of cargo, which is unexceptional, but it looks much larger than that. The cargo floor is wide and goes well forward, and the trunk opening is large enough to easily load bulky items. The rear seatback folds for additional space.

One of the A6’s coolest features is the Warm Weather Package, which includes a solar sunroof that activates interior fans when the car is parked in the sun.



Under the Hood
Audi uses engine size to designate models. The A6 2.8 uses a 2.8-liter V-6 with 200 horsepower. The A6 2.7T has a 2.7-liter V-6 with dual turbochargers and 250 hp, and the A6 4.2 has a 4.2-liter V-8 with 300 hp — the same engine used in the A8 sedan.



Safety
Safety features are abundant. Besides the required front airbags, all models have side-impact airbags for the front seats and curtain airbags that protect the heads and upper bodies of all outboard passengers. Side airbags for the rear seats are optional. Antilock brakes also are standard.

Audi rolls out new A6 L E-Tron hybrid for China

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Audi is expanding its range of hybrid models with the introduction of the A6 L E-Tron at the Shanghai Motor Show. It's earmarked specifically for the Chinese market and is based on the long-wheelbase A6 L already produced there. The new E-Tron model marries a 2.0-liter turbo four good for 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque to an electric motor with 122 hp and 162 lb-ft integrated into the eight-speed automatic transmission. A lithium-ion battery pack provides 14.1 kWh power. Mounted in the trunk, it limits cargo capacity to 11.9 cubic feet. The system produces net output of 245 hp and 369 lb-ft – enough to send the long-wheelbase hybrid to 62 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds en route to a top speed of 130 mph. All the while, it'll return 106.9 miles per gallon by the Chinese standard, traveling over 30 miles on electric power alone (at speeds of up to 83.9 mph) and up to 546.8 miles without needing to stop. The A6 L E-Tron is one of three new hybrids Audi is showcasing in Shanghai this year, alongside the Q7 E-Tron and Prologue Allroad concept. Ingolstadt, 2015-04-16 The new Audi A6 L e-tron for China - First Audi plug-in hybrid model from Chinese production - Output of 180 kW (245 hp) with extremely low consumption - 50 km (31.1 mi) electric range and total range of 880 km (546.8 mi) With the A6 L e-tron, Audi is taking an important step toward even greater fuel efficiency in China. The sedan has been developed specifically for the Chinese market. Its plug-in hybrid drive with 180 kW (245 hp) provides for powerful performance. The model consumes on average just 2.2 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (106.9 US mpg). After launching the e-tron era in China with the imported A3 Sportback e-tron* in 2015, Audi is taking the next step with the local production of the A6 L e-tron beginning in 2016. The model is based on the long version of the Audi A6, which is already built in China, and is configured as a highly efficient parallel hybrid, meaning that its two drives are arranged one directly behind the other. The 2.0 TFSI is a state-of-the-art, four-cylinder, gasoline engine producing 155 kW (211 hp) and 350 Nm (258.1 lb-ft) of torque. The disk-shaped electric motor provides 91 kW and 220 Nm (162.3 lb-ft) of torque. Together with a decoupler, this is integrated into the eight-speed tiptronic transmission, which transfers the power to the front wheels. System output is 180 kW (245 hp); maximum system torque is 500 Nm (368.8 lb-ft).

Audi rules out R8 PHEV, will build E-Tron to order

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

The question of whether Audi will morph the next-gen R8 (pictured above, in testing) into a plug-in-hybrid challenger for the BMW i8 may have been answered. CarAdvice, in Australia, is claiming that any plans for a PHV 2016 R8 have been shelved, and that Audi will go ahead with gas-powered or all-electric models, only.
Even then, the electric R8 E-tron (if it ends up being called that) would be built-to-order, and in much smaller quantities than the gas-powered model.
"In the next generation we will have an electric car on behalf of customers' needs, which is only available [upon special order]," Audi product manager Marie Suzanne Ernst told CA. "So it's not a make of series production, but if a customer wants to have it, he can order it."

Audi spotted testing new S4 at the Nurburgring

Tue, Apr 21 2015

Where there's smoke, there's fire. Only in this case, the smoke is the upcoming new Audi A4, and the fire is the S4 spotted undergoing testing in this latest batch of spy shots. Snapped in both sedan and Avant wagon forms while undergoing testing on and around the Nurburgring – where else? – the next-generation Audi S4 will of course be based on the new A4 that's anticipated to debut in Frankfurt this September. That means MLB Evo architecture and styling that takes a page out of the new TT's playbook. But in S4 trim, it'll be altogether more performance oriented. Expect an even more powerful version of the outgoing model's 3.0-liter supercharged V6, pumping out a good 340-350 horsepower to all four of its driven wheels. That power will help it keep pace with the new Mercedes C450 AMG Sport. It won't have to take on the new C63 AMG directly, though, as that'll be the job of the next RS4 that will slot above it. But since that model may never make it to US showrooms, this will stand as the flagship of the new A4 family as far as the American market is concerned. Related Video:
