2017 Audi A6 in Birmingham, MI - $21,996

Last updated in 2012, the Audi A6 features a classic yet contemporary exterior appearance combined with impressive overall performance and efficiency. The long wheelbase and short overhangs gives the Audi A6 a performance-oriented look while delivering improved ride quality and interior space. High-efficiency diode lasers are used to weld the roof to the side panel frame structure yielding a sleek “zero joint” seam. The Audi A6 exterior exhibits strength and agility, with its sloped roofline that provides exceptional aerodynamics and sporty driving characteristics.

Offered in 2.0T and 3.0T models and Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige (3.0T) trim levels, power for the Audi A6 sedan is produced by a 2.0L direct-injection turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a 3.0L direct-injection, supercharged V6 prime mover. Torque is communicated to the pavement through a multitronic CVT eight-speed automatic for the 2.0T and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic for the 3.0T all-wheel drive. The available quattro AWD features an asymmetric rear-biased torque distribution of 40/60 front/rear.

The Audi A6 represents the core of the Audi luxury sport sedan lineup. It features a lightweight hybrid construction of aluminum body panels with steel frame construction. This body structure consists of 20 percent aluminum content, combined with an aluminum suspension reduces unsprung weight and improves ride and handling.

Control hardware for the A6 consists of a five-line front suspension with upper and lower control arms with a stabilizer bar and a trapezoidal-line rear suspension with a stabilizer bar.

Inside the passenger cabin, attention to detail in materials, fit and finish has resulted in an interior that is truly a respite from mediocrity. The spacious, driver-oriented cockpit of the Audi A6 offers luxurious comfort and practical convenience, while remaining modern and understated.

Rounding out the interior are innovative technologies designed to assist drivers, such as available Audi MMI®, Google Earth™ combined with Google™ Local Search, Wi-Fi® hot spot for up to eight devices and the ability to find the lowest gas prices or view weather forecasts.
