What type of car is Audi A6?
The Audi A6 is a good-looking, accomplished large executive car. The A6 provides a balance between ride comfort and precise, responsive handling andmpressive amounts of power are delivered with excellent fuel efficiency. Available as a saloon or estate (‘Avant’) version, the current A6 is a safe car, with. a structure that is 34 per cent stiffer than the previous model to create the best possible crash protection, resulting in a full five stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests for occupant safety.
Interior Vs Exterior
This new generation A6 has had a bit of a nip and tuck, and combined with our test car’s ‘S line’ spec, it looks superbly menacing. Big 19-inch wheels, a subtle body-kit and daytime running LED lights – as found on the R8 supercar.
The layout is pleasing and the controls are within easy reach of the driver. Once you get your bearings, navigating through the controls becomes second nature, and although the cabin is bathed in plastic it looks techno-smart – just shy of becoming fussy. Our car’s S line sports seats gave the interior a funky sporting ambience too.
Performance
Lugging around 1.7-tonnes of corporate heft requires some serious firepower – and our test car’s 3-litre supercharged V6 engine was more than up to the task.
This engine replaces two outgoing Audi engines: the 3.2-litre V6 and 4.2-litre V8 petrol units.
Don’t forget, this car’s chassis can also handle 572bhp in RS6 trim…
Running Cost
Buy an Audi A6 in S line spec and you’ll pay £37,130. Audi claims a combined mpg of 30mpg and we managed to match this figure over town and motorway driving.
Insurance and Tax
An insurance rating of 17E will mean premiums will remain high, and its CO2 figure of 219g/km makes it expensive to tax too.
