Audi A6
Audi just introduced the latest update of its luxury sedan, the A6. The changes are fairly significant, and the first thing that stands out to the naked eye are the new pilots rear of the 4-door version, the very style of the Audi A4. Improvements have a special interest in paragraph mechanic, renovating the entire family of thrusters to make them now 15% more efficient, and incorporating an interesting propellant 3.0 TFSI. With regard to equipment, there are succulent developments.

The face washing has brought a new optical front, with daytime type LED lighting available (in combination with xenon plus an option) for all models, in the case of the A6 is included at the bottom of the lighthouse while the S6 these strips 6 diodes are, as hitherto, in the skirt front, just below enrollment. In the case of optical rear, are serial-type LED in all models. Completing the improvements in paragraph aesthetic, has redesigned the front grille, bumpers (the rear incorporates a diffuser), the lid of the trunk and side profile, which includes a new line of silver that gives him a more dynamic.

The full range of propellants has been reviewed, focusing primarily on efficiency, and as a result of which announced an average reduction in consumption by 15%. The range consists of 7 mechanical petrol (4 atmospheric and sobrealimentadas 3), 4, 6, 8 and 10 mechanical turbo 4-cylinder and 4-and 6-cylinder with common rail technology. Then you can see the complete list:
Mechanical gasoline
     * 2.0 TFSI – online turbo 4-cylinder – 170 hp
     * 2.8 FSI – V-6 cylinder – 190 hp
     * 2.8 FSI – V-6 cylinder – 220 hp
     * 3.0 TFSI – V-6 cylinder pressure – 290 hp
     * 4.2 FSI – 8 cylinders in V – 350 hp
     * 5.2 FSI – 10 cylinders in V – 435 hp (Audi S6)
     * 5.0 TFSI – 10 cylinders in V biturbo – 580 hp (Audi RS6)
Mechanical diesel
     * 2.0 TDI – online turbo 4-cylinder – 136 hp
     * 2.0 TDI – online turbo 4-cylinder – 170 hp
     * 2.7 TDI – a 6-cylinder turbo V – 190 hp
     * 3.0 TDI – a 6-cylinder turbo V – 240 hp
Audi A6
The propulsion system incorporates 2.8 TFSI Audi Valvelift System (AVS), which controls the interval for opening the valves and improves the strength of the engine while simultaneously reducing their consumption. Thus, the variant of 190 hp associated with the manual 6-speed announces an average consumption of 8.2 litres/100 km, while the 220 hp version associated with the automatic change multitronic announces a consumption of 8.4 litres/100 km .
The 2.0 TDI name refers to its status as a model more respectful of the environment, which leads eventually to a reduced consumption and emissions. It may be associated with a manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic gearbox multitronic, and announced an average consumption of 5.3 litres/100 km and CO2 emissions of 139 g / km version with manual box, which is not a fact too good as the BMW 520d of 177 hp announces an average of 5.1 litres/100 km.
The mechanics a priori more interesting, and also the most modern, is the 3.0 TFSI, which is only available with traction integral quattro. This brand new engine incorporates a compressor, not a turbo as the "T" TFSI we could presage. Handing an output of 290 hp in the range that runs between 4,800 rpm and 6,800 rpm and a torque of 420 Nm constant between 2,500 rpm and the 4850 rpm (see chart performance in the picture below). Its performance is remarkable because it accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.9 seconds and its top speed is limited to 250 km / h. Their consumption is quite content as it announced an average of 9.5 litres/100 km.

The traction integral quattro will be available on all engines of 6 or more cylinders and will come as standard on the most powerful, the rest will pull ahead. This latest evolution of the quattro system ensures a better performance, more grip in curves, while providing greater security. Under normal conditions, is shared 40% of force to the front axle and rear at 60%, while the central Torsen differential is able to allocate up to 65% of force to front axle and up to 85% to rear.
The suspension has also been improved, and now incorporates some larger diameter shock absorbers. In option may mount an air suspension with variable dampers hardness, whose tasks may vary the driver within 3 possibilities.

In the field of electronic aids to highlight the driving Audi Side Assist system, which operates over 30 mph thanks to a radar that detects the presence of vehicles in the blind spot, minimizing the risk of accidents changing lanes , And the warning system of involuntary change of lane (Lane Assist Audi), which alerts the driver with a vibration in the steering wheel when you leave the lane without the intermittent post.
Together these systems also is the adaptive cruise control adaptive, to be fitted with a radar and allows maintain a predetermined distance with the vehicle that precedes us, coming to halt if it reduces the march, and the system helps the advanced parking , Which includes a retractable rear camera. Both systems are optional.
In addition to lighting xenon plus includes the option of adaptive light, a system that illuminates the inside of the curve by turning the lighthouse dynamically, and the option of assistant to the main-beam, which automatically swap between the main-beam and short when it detects that there is a danger to other vehicles glare, a similar system has already incorporated several BMW models.

Improvements in the interior are mainly associated to MMI navigation system (optional), which includes an improved interface with new graphics and a simpler management, and upholstery, among them may choose a new fabric and will be offered the option of overlay the sports seats with leather Valcona. Also, Audi says it has significantly improved isolation of the carrier, especially reducing the penetration of frequencies more annoying.
The new A6 includes a final version of the MMI multimedia system, which can optionally include the best browser of the range, the MMI Navigation Plus. The layout of controls remains unchanged, being present in the main control centre tunnel accompanied by several buttons that facilitate and expedite its handling. The MMI Browser Navigation Plus includes a new feature of bird’s eye view showing the route in 3-dimensional aerial view.

The system has a color display, 7-inch high-resolution improving its visibility in even the most adverse lighting conditions and now includes a 40 GB hard drive that can store music files in MP3. Alternatively you can also equip a team of receiving digital television.

For drivers who prefer a more sporting behaviour within the range A6, Audi has prepared a package consisting of S-Line 18-inch tires and sport suspension that lowers the height of the bodywork 30 mm. The interior includes sports seats and a black wood finish.
The row of rear seats may be made in fashioning 3 squares, or option, may request a bench with only 2 seats, as incorporating the Mercedes CLS and the Volkswagen Passat CC. It will be available in mid-October in Spanish dealers at a price similar to the current range, and may be chosen in 13 different colors, 5 of them in this new model.
