Audi strengthens its presence in the saloons of the high range, improving in particular the new

Under the new engines will also combine new changes Tiptronic and Multitronic, uniting engines for high efficiency, and characterized by innovative technologies to reduce consumption by about 12% over the whole range.

The Audi A6 suspensions improved and a new system of assistance to provide technologically advanced driver control still top of the car. The MMI new generation is simply unique, as recently happened on A4 inherited from Q7 and then integrated on the Q5.

The new Audi A6 sedan is the most sporting and business known on the market, positioning itself as a leader in the premium segment E, both in Europe and the rest of the world. Today, with a more refined design, which emphasizes precisely by a series of new elements that combine strong perfectly with the strong personality of the Audi A6, has a single-frame grille, bumper renewed, the air inlets and the fog reused.

The daytime running lights Xenon Plus with LED technology, available as an option, have been redesigned and now are placed on horizontal bands, each with 6 LED. Among other options there are the 'Audi adaptive light ", a dynamic cornering lights, and the assistant to the dazzling lights, a device that, when necessary, automatically switches the light beam to low beam.

The dynamics of line Audi A6 is further underlined by a horizontal molding aluminum traveling on the surface of the bonnet from side to side. The generous dimensions of the sedan have not changed much: the car is 4.93 m long, 1.86 m wide high 1.46 m.

The profile of soft luggage, chrome molding on the bumper, the large speaker terminals and unloading rights are elements of restyling that has affected the back. The optical rear with LED technology, divided into two parts, is now presenting a new look: the shape is narrow and elongated, and it is pressing toward the side of the sedan. To outsiders, you can choose between 13 colors, including five new ones.

The interiors of the Audi A6 are spacious, with clean lines and elegant and perfect quality workmanship, stretch unmistakable mark of this luxury. The rear seats are extremely comfortable and the headrest in the shape of L improves the visual back of the driver. As an option, you can ask for the rear passenger configuration provides a comfortable sofa in two places. A package of features technologically sophisticated allows almost halving the level of noise, especially in the critical frequency range.

The instrument has a higher resolution graphics; the new framework also highlights the display (color in the MMI navigation system, available as an option). The chrome trim, elegantly also included on the steering wheel spokes, with an emphasis on style class of the car; inserts are available in aluminum or wood.

The interior designers have made sure that all colors and materials were perfectly coordinated. The number of seats provided can be coated, if you wish, with a new material, the sports seats are available in leather VALCONA. The armrests in the doors increase comfort, while the integrated headrest system reduces the risk of whiplash in an accident.

For those who prefer a style of leadership more dynamic, Audi currently offers the sporty S line package. The package includes some elements that enhance the performance of the car, looking like the 18 "and the sport suspension that lowered the height from the ground to 30 mm. The sports seats, moldings and coatings give the interiors, with black finish, a touch more exclusive. The S line package for the exterior gives the car as a whole big emphasis.

One of the strengths most important is the wide choice of engines with FSI technology, TFSI and TDI at the range comprises six engines and four petrol engine turbo direct injection with a choice of four, six or eight cylinders .

All changes, from the manual, Tiptronic or Multitronic exchange high efficiency, they get the engine power to the front wheels or all four. The fuel consumption was reduced by about 12% in the whole family Audi A6.

The basic gasoline engine is the 2.0 TFSI, a propeller turbo four-cylinder with 170 hp (125 kW). The most powerful is the 4.2 FSI, a V8 engine power of 350 hp (257 kW). The Audi V6 models can be equipped with two new 2.8 FSI engines: the 190 bhp (140 kW) or 220 hp (162 kW). Both engines are equipped with innovative Audi Valvelift System (AVS) device that controls the raising of valves to increase torque and reduce fuel consumption. Regardless of version 2.8 FSI engine fitted to the Audi A6 saloon, the average fuel consumption stands at only 8.2 liters per 100 km for the 190 hp version with manual 6-speed transmission, and 8.4 liters per 100 km per the engine from 220 hp with change Multitronic CVT.

With a displacement of 3 liters and an output of 290 hp (213 kW), V6 engine is a very interesting novelty. This new 3.0 TFSI is equipped with a mechanical compressor. From now on, therefore, the "T" indicates not only a turbocharged engine, but supercharged. The technology is fitted with compressor does not increase consumption. The power is also developing a low revs: from 2500 to 4850 rpm, the torque curve is wide, while 420 Nm is flat.

The 3.0 TFSI engine is associated with a change Tiptronic transmission and four. The Audi A6 sedan goes from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.9 seconds, reaching the maximum speed, electronically governed to 250 km / h. A few years ago such a provision would have been unthinkable even for an eight-cylinder engine. With a consumption of 9.5 liters per 100 km in the EU cycle, the supercharged V6 engine is incredibly economical. The combination of dynamic performance and reduced the consumption TFSI propeller 3.0 is a worthy example of the time efficiency of Audi.

The TDI engines fitted to the Audi A6 are further evidence of Audi's ability to combine sports performance and efficiency. The two V6 TDI engines, the 2.7 TDI 190 hp (140 kW) and 3.0 TDI 240 hp (176 kW), have a maximum torque of 380 Nm and 450 respectively.

The base engine range diesel is the four-cylinder 2.0 TDI, available in two versions: 170 hp (125 kW) and 136 hp (100 kW). The base model is the 2.0 TDIe, where "e" stands for efficiency. This is a car with manual transmission or a six-speed transmission with automatic Multitronic, capable of transferring up to 320 Nm of torque to the front wheels. With the Multitronic, goes from 0 to 100 km / h in 9.9 seconds, reaching a maximum speed of 204 km / h. Despite these benefits, the average consumption with manual transmission is only 5.3 liters per 100 km, with an emission of about 139 grams of CO2 per kilometer.

The key to that lies behind such exemplary performance is the use of innovative technologies. The power steering works according to the request being issued, the alternator regenerates electricity, thus reducing the workload of the engine. Lowering the height from the ground 20 mm and thanks to other aerodynamic solutions, the coefficient of aerodynamic penetration has been reduced to a value equal to 0.28 Cx.

The transmission can be used for longer with the two gears higher. All Audi A6 with manual transmission and information system for the driver, including version 2.0 TDIe, can be equipped with a gear indicator in the instrument. In accordance with the conditions, the icon tells the driver the gear more suited to a style guide to whether the consumption-oriented.

The four-wheel drive is available for all engines with power from 190 hp or more, and is coupled with standard high-end engines. This ensures the transmission revisited Audi A6 exceptional driving characteristics, stability and security only. Under normal conditions, torque is distributed to 40% on the front wheels and 60% on the rear. The differential mechanical operation to immediately transfer most of the power axis that has more needs, ensuring better traction when required and, in extreme cases, transferring up to 65% of torque to the front or 85% to rear.

Under optimized Audi A6, were the two goals: to increase comfort and maintain the character of sport. Equipping shock front of a new system of valves and increasing the diameter, the Audi engineers were able to achieve both objectives. Every other feature responsible for the suspension has been improved, including the spring.

The Audi A6 can be equipped with adaptive air suspension that allows the driver to choose between three different calibrations. The high-performance engine is coupled to a braking system plus. The car can also be equipped with a system for monitoring tire pressure, completely free of wear and maintenance. The customer may decide to mount tires Runflat that in the event of declining inflation pressure, allowing the march to continue for up to 50 km.

Audi has incorporated the new systems support technologically advanced. The new Audi side assist ", for example, supports the driver in lane change maneuvers at a speed exceeding 60 km / h, thereby driving more pleasant and free of stress. Thanks to radar sensors, in fact, the 'Audi side assist "is able to detect the presence of other vehicles up to 50 meters away. To change lanes, then turns on a light post on the outside rearview mirror. The 'Audi lane assist "supports the driver in maintaining lane of travel, the' Adaptive cruise control helps maintain a constant distance from the vehicle before, the system helps the car park, '" Audi Parking System advanced", uses a rear camera.

Since its debut in 2002, the Audi Multi Media Interface (MMI) has dictated standards in this area, thanks to perfect control of all functions. The Audi A6 system offers the latest MMI, including navigation system plus MMI, the top of the range. The basic construction has not changed. The control knob is always located in the central console between the front seats, and its operation is entrusted to the large buttons. The new joystick also placed above the actuator, allows a more intuitive command system.

The navigation device plus MMI is a unique solution that paves the way for a completely new generation of systems, offering a wide range of high-tech features and innovative standards. Among the special features that distinguish it there is also a reader combined CD / DVD / Navigation with a hard drive from 40 GB, which can be used to store MP3 files and up to 2,000 addresses.

The monitor of the navigation system, with a screen 7 "high resolution, is truly innovative. The image has much contrast and is extremely defined, making it easily readable even in the event of adverse lighting conditions. As an additional option you can have a TV tuner to receive digital programs (DVB-T) as perfect.

There is also a new mode with a view from above shows that the landscape in topographic relief, with precision of detail and complete three-dimensional images of architectural landmarks. The monitor has a new operating principle: When you set specific functions, such as those of air conditioning or heating of seats, a pop-up window appears on the right of the display, instead of the full screen.

Most of the new features of the Audi A6 sedan are also on two other models: the versatile four Audi A6 Allroad and dynamics S6. The Audi A6 Allroad four can be equipped with the new engine 3.0 TFSI 290 hp, or with one of two powerful V6 TDI diesel engines. In S6 the V10 engine produces an output of 435 hp. The changes in sports models are limited to Intervention in the aesthetic for the interior and exterior.
