The Audi A6 is an executive saloon produced by the German manufacturer in Keckarsulam, Germany. The A6 is also available as an estate or as Audi like to call them “Avant” body style. It is available as front wheel drive or with Audi’s renowned Quattro permanent 4 wheel drive system.
The A6 was born out of the Audi 100 in 1994, the exterior resembled a lot from its predecessor, the only changes were the new rear and front lights and a new radiator grill.
The new engines for the A6 were the 1.8 litre 20v inline four cylinder, and 2.8 litre 30v V6 petrol engines, with the 2.3 litre inline five engine being dropped on most markets. For the diesel engines, an inline four 1.9 Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI), and the inline five (R5) 2.5 TDI 138 bhp were available.
The latest A6 was released in 2004, it is an evolution of the previous model but has been lengthened to 492 centimetres, and it incorporates the new Audi single frame grille. The new A6 is bursting with new Audi technology including the sophisticated Multi Media Interface (MMI).
The MMI controls in-car entertainment, satellite navigation, climate control, car settings such as suspension configuration and optional electronic accessories through a central screen interface.
The A6 came with an array of engine choices, including a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder lump, a 2.8-litre V6, and a supercharged 3.0-litre. The V10-engined S6 is amazingly fast, but the more popular diesel units include two 2.0-litre engines, plus a sweet 2.7 and a potent 3.0 V6.
A new Audi A6 will set you back £26,380 for the basic 2.0 litre diesel, the S6 costs £59,055 and the RS6 costs a whopping £76,715. For a used Audi A6 in Essex check out Essex Audi who have dealerships across Essex including East London, Southend and Chingford.
