Audi A6 - Overview

The Audi A6 is a large luxury sedan (also available as a wagon) manufactured by the luxury division of Volkswagen. In front-wheel drive configuration, it is largely regarded as a solid performer and luxurious alternative to similar offerings from BMW or Mercedes. With the available Quattro all-wheel-drive system, however, it is a striking performer with world-class handling. The A6 was introduced in 1994, and last redesigned for the 2005 model year. The car is due for a cosmetic update in 2009.

The Audi A6 is available in two trim levels, each named for their engine. 3.2 models derive power from a 3.2-liter V6 that moves the car well, while 4.2 models feature a 4.2-liter V8 that can propel the car from zero to 60 mph in about six seconds. With Audi's celebrated Quattro all-wheel-drive system, the A6 is one of the most well-balanced, tight-cornering large sedans on the market. Inside, the A6 offers an interior that consistently ranks with the best in the class. The cabin wins praise for ergonomics and comfort, but some writers find Audi's MMi multimedia interface unnecessarily complicated. The A6 scores very well in safety tests. Though not the conventional choice, the A6 deserves a look from those considering BMW or Lexus large sedans.
