The time has come for Audi to present the next generation of its luxury sedan, the A6. The manufacturer had to revamp the model in order to remain competitive in today's increasingly fierce market. Design updates, a new S line package and an impressive selection of engines are on the agenda.
Design-wise, the A6 has inherited LED headlights, now featured on most of the German manufacturer's vehicles. The front section has actually been completely redesigned, and the sedan looks a lot younger. Around back, the engineers added a spoiler on the trunk and integrated LED taillights as well as new exhaust pipes. The body now sports chrome trim. To dress it all up, Audi offers a selection of 13 colours, 5 of which are new. Inside, the new MMI multimedia system features a bunch of improvements.
S line package
Audi now offers its S line package on the A6. The package includes 18-inch alloy wheels, a 30-mm lowered sport suspension, sport seats and a black passenger compartment.
New engines
A total of 10 engines can power the new A6, 6 gas versions and 4 diesel ones. The smallest of the family is a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbo engine producing 170 hp. On the opposite end of the spectrum is a 4.2-litre V8 packing 350 hp. A 3.0-litre, gas-powered V6 will also be introduced, replacing the 3.2-litre version currently found on several Audis.
These are the features of the European A6. It should be reasonably similar in Canada, but we can expect a highly reduced selection of engines, per the German manufacturer's habits.
