Audi A6 Avant

With a design similar to the model above, the seventh generation of the Audi A6 Avant is distinguished in this new chapter with a high technological content of their older siblings A7 and A8. What we have between us in September from 40,850 euros. Yes, at first glance, few are the changes that brings this seventh generation of the Audi A6 Avant.

However, beyond its aesthetic appearance, much continuity with the previous model, the new A6 in its familiar version brings a number of improvements in technology and engine that puts it closer to its higher-end brethren. The new Audi A6 Avant measures 4.93 meters long and 1.87 wide, but only 1.46 m high, while the battle has grown to 2.91 meters.

The trunk offers a volume of 565 liters which can increase up to 1,680 liters by folding down the rear seatbacks. As a novelty, the electric gate of the trunk of the new A6 Avant can be opened automatically with a move below the rear bumper. The design of the new A6 Avant out for a more pronounced and sharp lines in the previous generation, with a lower roofline, which results in a picture more muscular, sporty and dynamic.

The characteristic single-frame grille with crossbars in glossy black and the LED headlights as an option Audi can make the two views, front and rear. Featherweight The new A6 Avant has been subjected to a diet based on the use of aluminum by 20 percent of its components. The result is a body 30 kg lighter than its predecessor which, depending on the engine, can weigh up to 70 kg less.

Time to talk about the engines. The offer of the new A6 Avant will consist of six engines with direct injection, four diesel and two petrol. We started with these two last. This is the 2.8 FSI with 204 hp and more powerful 3.0 TFSI supercharged and an output of 300 hp. In paragraph Diesel, the first step will comprise the 2.0 TDI with 177 hp with an average consumption of only 5 liters per 100 km and emissions of 132 g / km.

The 3.0 TDI is available in three variants: with 204, 245 and more powerful version that yields 313 hp. The latter, biturbo, has a two-stage turbocharger group that provides a maximum charge pressure of up to 3.2 bar. Depending on the engine, the new Audi A6 Avant multitronic mounted a shift six-speed manual or the sporty S tronic seven-speed.

The biturbo, responsible for transmitting all the power to the road will be eight-speed tiptronic. Life on board if the exterior shows elegance and sportiness through and through, that same feeling has been transferred to the carrier. A large decorative envelope insertion (wrap-around) surrounds the driver and front passenger, while the dashboard is slightly arched.

The front seats can get fitted as an option depending on ventilation and massage. No lack of MMI MMI navigation plus with touch that lets you manage a large number of functions through a touch panel, sound system high fidelity signed by Bang & Olufsen and Audi connect that allows, among others, the Internet connection.

September marks the start of marketing in our country. What made with a base price of 40,850 euros. In order to apply the more powerful engine, the new 3.0 TDI biturbo will have to wait a little longer, until December. And in January will be the turn of the Allroad.
