Audi A6 looks to hit the top rank spot with its deadly looks and drive. The Audi A6 takes off from where the Audi A4 and A8L stop. Though it looks a bit generic, the Audi A6 has all the right design cues.
The facial looks include LED headlamps, tightly cropped grille and large inlets, elongated tail-lights and the spoiler with a boot that sweeps over. The wheels now have a longer base with a wider frame but the length is a bit less. The new Audi A6 is also lighter by 80kg than the outgoing one, which needless to say gives it a better performance, handling and even a better fuel efficiency.
Even the long legged souls will feel at ease with the interiors with acres of space for the driver. The adjustable seat and steering wheel with a high visibility even on the reverse always keeps you relaxed. The seat might not be as large to your liking.
Though the rear seat has loads of legroom and decent headroom too, it is set a touch too low and this adversely impacts under-thigh support. It’s comfy enough at the back but we feel the rear seat could have been slightly larger and offered more support.
The Audi A6 comes with a new-generation 3.0 TDI that makes an impressive 51kgm of torque from just 1400rpm. The A6 needs one litre of diesel to travel 9.3km in city traffic conditions, and efficiency on the highway was 14.3kpl which is impressive.
The Audi A6 is for the fun and the frivolous. However on the flipside it has a lot of under steer to deal with when pushed hard but the biggest party pooper is the steering which feels numb and devoid of feel, even in ‘Dynamic’ mode. As a result, it’s not a very engaging drive and the brakes feel mushy too.
On the whole the Audi A6 is a big leap from its predecessors. It has all the ingredients of a luxury car with a diesel motor and yet delivers a comfortable ride. On the ride you might not be engaged but on the whole you cannot ignore the overall package it brings with it. You can also check out the likes of BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes Benz E Class.
