Adelaide,
Australia - Audi
has released details of its upcoming A6 model that is set to make its
debut early 2011.
The
Audi A6 will come with a choice of five engines: two petrol engines and
three TDI units. These powerplants develop between 130kW and 220kW. All
of these engines make use of the brand’s modular efficiency technologys
- the start-stop system, the energy recovery system, and the innovative
thermal management concept.
Audi say that the new A6 is up 19 percent more
fuel efficent across the board when compared to the previous model.
The
most powerful unit in the range is the 2.0 TDI. When paired to a manual
transmission, the 2.0-litre TDI requires on average 4.9-liters of fuel
per 100km and emits just 129g CO2 per km.
A
hybrid model will be available from Audi at a later date. Producing
180kW of power, its 2.0 TFSI plus electric motor will achieve on
average fuel consumption of only 6.2-liters per 100 km (provisional
figure).
The new Audi A6 range is also available with a
number of
drivetrains to choose from. The choice, based on the engine version,
will include a manual six-speed transmission, the continuously variable
multitronic, and the new, sporty S tronic.
Depending on the
engine version, power is funneled via the gears to the front wheels or
to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. For the
top-of-the-line engines, Audi will offer an optional sport differential.
The
Audi drive select dynamic handling system is standard, and the
front-wheel-drive models have the sporty ESP with electronic
limited-slip differential on board.
For enhanced comfort,
adaptive air suspension with controlled damping is available as an
option. Dynamic steering will also be available.
Engine variants, local pricing and specification
for Australia will be announced closer to local arrival.
