It competes with traditional competing models such as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class. It is equipped with a variety of powertrains, ranging from gasoline and diesel, PHEVs and EVs. The high-performance S6 model will also be released.The new A6 sedan has a rather conservative design. The wagon Avant model is designed to be streamlined.
Nevertheless, the aerodynamic efficiency is very high. It boasts a very impressive coefficient of air resistance of 0.23 Cd. This is the same figure as the Tesla Model 3 or the Volkswagen ID.7.Through this, the A6 is expected to achieve impressive fuel economy figures. In particular, efficiency is expected to emerge as an important competitive edge in diesel models.
The front design features a large grille and stylish LED headlights placed on both sides.On the other hand, the body is cleaner than the previous generation. The focus was on giving a voluminous impression rather than a sleek line.
For the rear, the distinct rear deck and round trunk lid were inspired by the 5th generation A6 sedan in the late 90s. Considering the aerodynamic aspect, a completely flat surface was not implemented.
Optional OLED technology and customizable features are applied to the upper section of the tail lamp. It is located above the hidden light bar and has a large stop lamp underneath it.
The interior, like Avant, is applied with advanced technology. It secured the headroom as much as possible while securing a space for three adults in the back seat. Audi's latest MMI system is installed as a basic specification, integrating a driver's display and a 14.5-inch touch screen into a single unit.
For the upper model, a passenger display can be optionally selected. Several key control functions remain in place, such as the volume control knob and the drive mode on the center console switch panel.
The engine lineup starts with a entry-level front-wheel-drive 2.0-liter turbocharger gasoline engine. It exerts 200 horsepower and 340 Nm of torque. Zero-back is 8.2 seconds and combined fuel efficiency is about 14.7 to 16.7 km/l per liter. CO2 emissions range from 157g/km to 177g/km.
The second 2.0-liter turbocharger TDI diesel output is equivalent to 200 horsepower of the gasoline engine. Instead, it exerts a strong torque of 400 Nm. A mild hybrid system and a quattro four-wheel drive system are installed as standard. The fuel efficiency of the TDI model is about 18.6 km/l, and the CO₂ emission is 131 g/km.
The new A6 comes in three trims. Starting with the sports model, the next step, S-Line, and full-option Edition 1 are the top trims. Wheel sizes range from 19 inches to 21 inches.Instead, the 21-inch size negatively affects ride comfort, fuel efficiency, and CO2 emissions.
The air suspension is available as an option. The new A6 sedan will be released in Korea in the second half of the year. It is currently being tested in Korea.
