Audi A6USED-CARS

With a beautiful interior,

powerful engine options and

engaging handling, most

motor journalists agree the

Audi A6 offers one of the

best driving experiences in

its class.

The Audi A6 comes standard

with a turbocharged four-

cylinder engine. While most

reviewers are impressed with

its great fuel economy, the

majority prefer the engines

available in higher trims,

such as the supercharged

V6, which they say is very

powerful, and the

turbocharged diesel V6,

which they agree provides

strong acceleration and

excellent fuel economy.

The A6 comes standard with a continuously variable

transmission (CVT), but reviewers prefer the optional

eight-speed automatic, which provides quick, smooth

shifts.

The base 2014 Audi A6 gets an estimated 9.5/7.1 litres

per 100 kmh city/highway, which is very good for a luxury

large car, while the diesel-powered A6 TDI gets an

excellent 9.8/6.2 litres per 100 kmh.

Test drivers say the 2014 A6 provides one of the most

appealing driving experiences in the class because it has

the smooth ride of a comfort-oriented car like the

Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the athletic handling of a

sporty car like the BMW 5-Series.

Test drivers write that the A6 has one of the best interiors

in the class, with top-notch build quality, first-rate materials

and a beautiful design. Their praise extends to the front

seats, which test drivers think are comfortable.

The 2014 Audi A6

comes standard

with leather

upholstery, heated,

power-adjustable

front seats, a

sunroof, tri-zone

automatic climate

control, a 10-

speaker audio

system, Bluetooth

phone connectivity,

satellite radio, an

iPod interface and

Audi’s MMI

infotainment

system.

Several reviewers

say the rear seats are

comfortable as well,

though some wish

they offered more

thigh support. Critics

write that the

‘infotainment system’

which controls many

audio, climate and

navigation settings, is

intuitive. However,

some of them think it

still isn’t as easy to

use as the

infotainment system

in BMW and

Mercedes-Benz

vehicles.
