The Audi A6 Avant - A Class Above

The current trend in the executive estates shows that style and practicality don't have to go hand in hand. The A6 Avant proves this point again. The Audi A6 Avant is a long way from the conventional estate look and probably the best looking estates on the market. The latest A6 Avant carries on with the higher quality feel as its predecessor and now boats more efficient Audi A6 engines and great hi tech gadgetry. The most popular Audi A6 engine is the 2.0 TDI and it has even improved on its power and economy. It can return 56.5mpg which is achieved by equipping it with stop/start technology. The interior is very luxurious and the seats are very comfortable. The refinement on the move is exquisite. The boot is 565 litres which is very useful.

The tailgate opens automatically once you swing your foot under the back bumper. The Audi A6 Avant is available in four engines: three TDI units and one petrol engine. The range also includes the 3.0 litre V6 TDI which returns 204PS and 245PS respectively. There is also an all new 3.0 litre twin turbo TDI which will be the most effective V6. ...
... The TDI will take just 5.4 seconds to get to 62mph and will have a limited top speed of 155mph. All engines in the Audi range include the start-stop system, the innovative thermal management system that rapidly brings the coolant and motor oil up to operating temperature and the energy recuperation system. The 3.0 TDI 245PS and 3.0 L TFSI petrol Audi A6 Avant engines will get the latest Quattro all wheel drive system.

This all wheel drive has a crown gear differential and torque vectoring function. The Audi A6 Avant will also get the drive select adaptive dynamics system which lets the driver choose how the car responds through the Multi Media Interface (MMI) screen. Audi is known to have the highest built quality and the latest incarnation doesn't let down either. The interior is spacious and mixes finest materials fitted to the highest standards. The cabin's main point is the MMI with its 6.5 inch screen; it can be monitored by a large control knob. MMI gives easy access to high quality audio system, the SD card based navigation and the Bluetooth phone interface.

You can also upgrade your MMI system to MMI navigation plus which has ultra intelligent 3D navigation mapping. The upgraded MMI system can store audio tracks and telephone data on its large hard disk. The main plus point of the Avant is its beautiful and spacious cabin that can easily accommodate four full sized adults plus luggage. However as compared to the competitors the boot space is a little less than Mercedes E Class and it does not feel as executive as BMW's 5 Series. The 2.0TDI engine is the best seller thanks to the the carbon emissions of 129g/km and fuel economy of 57.6mpg. The other diesel engines are also good in fuel economy. The A6 also has very good residual value which makes it a good choice for private buyers.
