The Audi A6 - Supple ride comfort, but with precise and clear feedback. Power, but with fuel efficiency. An exhilarating driving experience, but with luxurious accommodation. The new Audi A6 triumphantly reconciles these apparent opposites through advanced technology and design. A blend of opposing qualities, but a compromise in none.

The Audi A6 offers unrivaled beauty, power and cutting edge technology. In all areas, from styling, performance and handling to value, safety and environmental responsibility, it simply excels. Superior technology and refinement make the Audi A6 one of the most desirable models in the prestige market.

4.2 litre V8 engine
With 335PS, the unique 4.2 litre V8 engine of the A6 Avant is capable of exceptional performance. Overtaking ability is instant across the rev range while fuel consumption is remarkably low.

quattro
Assured road-holding and rock-solid braking are the enhanced performance benefits of quattro four-wheel-drive. Its exceptional traction, dynamic cornering and impeccable road handling all make for sports car feel and exceptional luxury car comfort.

6-speed tiptronic
The 4.2 V8 and 3.2 V6 FSI engine versions of the A6 Avant utilise the 6-speed tiptronic transmission system, drawing out the engine’s most powerful characteristics and creating the choice of a relaxing or exhilarating drive.

4-link front suspension
A four-link front suspension and trapezoidal-link rear suspension layout create remarkable driving dynamics and comfort. This has been developed to operate smoothly and effortlessly and maximise steering precision.

FSI®
Initially designed to help the all-conquering Audi R8 racing cars sweep the board at Le Mans, FSI technology now finds its way to the Audi A6 Avant. Power and fuel efficiency are offered simultaneously thanks to the ability to switch seamlessly between homogenous and direct charge combustion.

With its exceptional grip, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and powerful brake system, the Audi A6 Avant offers high levels of active safety, helping the driver to avoid hazardous situations before they develop. But if an accident occurs, the Audi A6 Avant is also one of the safest places to be, with reinforced body structure, crumple zones, airbags and safety systems.

Adaptive light
Night-time driving is made safer by a networked light system that uses steering wheel movements to identify the upcoming road course and turn the headlights accordingly.

ESP 8.0
Road-holding performance comes by way of the Electronic Stabilisation Programme. This fully automated system provides intelligent management of the Audi A6 Avant’s braking systems and intervenes in the engine management system to restore traction to individual wheels.

Tyre pressure monitoring
The A6 Avant’s monitoring system continuously monitors tyre pressure, providing a visual and audible alert. Pressure changes due to varying temperatures are compensated for automatically.

Vorsprung Durch Technik is part of the Audi DNA. In practice, it means ceaseless research to find new and better solutions to the automotive challenges of an ever-changing world. From quattro all-wheel-drive to FSI® direct fuel injection for petrol engines, Audi's technology commitment means safer, more efficient and more involving cars for all of us to drive.

Light sensor
Simple but effective: the Audi A6 features a light sensor to switch on low-beam headlights automatically in poor light conditions, such as at dusk or when entering a tunnel.

DVD navigation
With a state-of-the-art, faster operating system, a large 6.5” screen and an improved zoom function, the Audi A6 Saloon’s satellite navigation outperforms older CD-based systems. All you need do is decide where you want to go.

Advanced key
Advanced key technology combines maximum security with maximum convenience. Doors can be opened or locked without using the car key and the engine can be started at a button on the centre console.

MMI
Audi’s Multi Media Interface (MMI) is an intelligent one-point solution to navigation, entertainment, communications and vehicle control. It eliminates the array of switches and buttons that would otherwise be needed and the driver can operate it intuitively without taking his or her eyes off the road.

Rain sensor
The Audi A6 wipers automatically activate when they detect rainfall on the windscreen. The intermittent-wipe interval varies automatically to match the amount of rain.

From the original Audi 100 to the new A6, Audi stay true to the core values of progressive design. Sleek yet spacious, the Audi A6 is a handsome and well-proportioned beauty. At the 2005 World Car Awards, Judge Peter Lyon commented, “Whether inside or out, Audi A6’s design and quality leads the pack. Every inch of that exterior is pure poetry”.

Single frame grille
A key style feature is the prominent, trapezoidal single-frame grille. Its appearance is complemented by the V-bonnet line, emphasising the power that lies beneath the metal.

Steering wheel design
A new steering wheel with a 4-spoke or 3-spoke design makes its debut in the Audi A6 Saloon, emblazoned with Audi’s distinctive four-ring emblem.

Coupé-style roof
The coupé-style roof is based on the classic proportions of an Audi sports saloon. The roofline’s arc tapers down towards the tail, yet inside there’s plenty of room for five adults to travel in comfort.

Rear spoiler lip
The bold shoulder line of the body underlines the Audi A6 Saloon’s sporting attitude. Extending back as far as the clearly defined rear spoiler lip, it gives the Audi A6 Saloon a powerful profile.

Interior
All important functions can be accessed intuitively and ergonomically, allowing the driver to fully engage in the driving experience
