Audi A6 Saloon/A6 Avant Fascination comes through in many facets. Perfection in an automobile is the result of all of its strengths working together. And the many possibilities it offers, which are discovered anew every day. The new Audi A6 Saloon and the new Audi A6 Avant combine groundbreaking technologies with strikingly agile handling for a symbiotic interplay between sportiness and elegance.
Audi A6 Saloon/A6 Avant Expressive design revealed in every line. Each angle, each line is extended on the Audi A6 and turns the vehicle into a saloon that instantly fascinates from every angle. Just one of many examples: the lateral tornado line below the side windows. In a single powerful stroke, it extends from the headlights to the rear and lends the A6 Saloon a subtle, commanding appearance. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found from page 120 onwards.
Audi A6 Saloon/A6 Avant Sportiness meets elegance. Functionality meets comfort. The A6 Avant demonstrates versatility in perfect balance. Light, elegantly flowing proportions and precisely defined contours form an independent silhouette. The high shoulder, the narrow window band and the coupé-like roof line reveal distinctiveness in one glance. The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found from page 120 onwards.
Audi A6 Saloon/A6 Avant 11 Every detail was considered when designing the Audi A6: the Audi Singleframe grille with a new geometry of horizontal slats in high-gloss black signals a desire to get ahead nimbly. Optional LED headlights seamlessly integrate into the design and reveal strength of character, even from a distance. The forged aluminium wheels in 10-spoke V design in anthracite, partly polished, add to the look. An impression of power – even when stationary.
Audi A6 Saloon/A6 Avant 13 Excellence shines through in the uncompromising orientation towards the driver. With the Audi A6 Saloon and the A6 Avant you have arrived before the journey even begins. An impressive sense of space and a comfort-oriented interior design concept await driver and passenger. Special details such as the optional comfort seat with various adjustable settings, seat ventilation and massage function are hallmarks of the highest exclusivity.
Audi A6 Saloon/A6 Avant Generosity of scale is evident in comfort that you can feel. The impeccably spacious, yet comfortable interior makes every trip a relaxing pleasure – short trips and long journeys alike. This is largely thanks to the numerous storage surfaces and practical stowing options that are provided. On request you can enjoy an extensive range of entertainment on a high-resolution colour display, allowing you to turn the rear of your vehicle into a private cinema and music lounge.
Audi A6 Saloon/A6 Avant Efficient performance in a new light. Progressive strength is not just visible on the Audi A6. You can feel it too. This is thanks to its weight-reducing aluminium hybrid construction plus the powerful but highly efficient FSI®, TFSI® and TDI engines. These are characterised by excellent acceleration and pulling power. The optional quattro with sports differential delivers the power to the road.
Audi A6 hybrid
Taking charge of tomorrow. The Audi A6 hybrid is driven by the innovative combination of a 2.0 TFSI engine and hybrid technology. Its engineers are driven by the quest for efficiency. The hybrid drive, which lies at the vehicle’s heart, offers impressive power. The Audi A6 hybrid is capable of impressive performance at the highest level because it combines a combustion engine and an electric motor. It also features front-wheel drive and multiple award-winning TFSI technology.
Audi A6 hybrid Progressive character. Including the design. Another symbol for a high level of progressivity, in addition to the Audi rings, is the Audi A6 hybrid logo. It signals the technical excellence on the wings, tailgate and engine cover that arises from the innovative hybrid technologies that are included in the vehicle’s interior.
Audi A6 allroad quattro 23 The most attractive way of going your own way. Why only use the same beaten tracks as everyone else? In the Audi A6 allroad quattro you have found a vehicle you can use to discover completely new roads for yourself. Choose the engine that best suits you from our range of TFSI and TDI engines. Go for a distinctly attractive and expressive design. Enjoy the freedom that both the interior and the luggage space offer.
Audi A6 allroad quattro The most individual way of going your own way. Unmistakeably an A6 Avant, even more unmistakeably an A6 allroad quattro. The vehicle stands out through its masculine appearance and streamlined body, wheel arch extensions, Singleframe with vertical struts and an underbody protection which covers the whole width of the bumper. Optional stainless steel inlays in the sills emphasise the side. A roof spoiler and roof rails with high webs highlight the striking silhouette.
Audi A6 allroad quattro When you get in the Audi A6 allroad quattro, you are greeted by a truly special atmosphere. The generous interior is calming, the inlays in optional aluminium fascinating – particularly the ones in aluminium Delta, which are reserved especially for the A6 allroad quattro – just like the interior colour Santos brown or the Sierra/mono.pur 350 fabric. On request, sports seats in leather with exclusive contrasting stitching will give you excellent support.
Audi A6 allroad quattro The most powerful way of going your own way. No matter which of the engines you choose for your Audi A6 allroad quattro: there are six cylinders available for you in each engine. The high-torque engines, available with a choice of TFSI or TDI technology, accelerate irresistibly – and are efficient at the same time. Recuperation allows them to use their power sensibly and intelligently. And: they can move a trailer load of 2.5 tonnes without any effort.
Audi S6 Saloon/S6 Avant Sophisticated sportiness. The Audi S6 is so many things: a prestigious business car. An elite family car. An elegant, athletic vehicle for everyday use. No matter whether it’s a Saloon or Avant – in every form it conveys intelligent power. The inner qualities of the S6 can not only be seen: the V8 TFSI engine with cylinder on demand, the quattro permanent all-wheel drive, the individually adjustable Audi drive select.
Audi S6 Saloon/S6 Avant Assertiveness requires one thing above all: drawing a clear line. Light, precise lines define an elegant vehicle body. The powerful tornado line below the windows accentuates the sporty characteristics. The Audi S6 seems to surge forward. The Singleframe with horizontal double chrome struts in platinum grey provides the suspense-filled prelude, which is then further enhanced by the muscular bumper. In the rear, too, sportiness is accentuated in every detail.
Unmistakeably progressive – from close up and at a distance. Efficient technology with an exciting visual impact: the xenon plus headlights have the characteristic LED daytime running light strip and the intelligent adaptive light, which allows you to better illuminate bends. On request, the entire headlight can be made in the innovative LED technology. LED light is almost as bright as natural daylight, thus providing excellent visibility.
Audi S6 Saloon/S6 Avant Powerful performance requires control. And inner calm. It’s all at your command. With the leather-covered The sports seats in Alcantara/leather offer excellent multifunction sports steering wheel, you can control support even with a challenging driving style. You have various comfort functions such as the radio and driver an electrical 12-way adjustment feature and a distinctive information system, telephone or navigation. Or you upper backrest with an embossed S6 logo.
Audi S6 Saloon/S6 Avant Efficiency: the art of reducing without losing out. The Audi S6 in figures: V8. 4.0 TFSI. Significantly less CO₂ emissions in comparison with the prior model. 309 kW generate a powerful torque of 550 Nm and power the Audi S6 Saloon from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, and the Audi S6 Avant in 4.7 seconds. Innovative cylinder management, the start-stop system and a new thermal management system turn the car into an efficient top athlete.
Your Audi also bears our mark of special efficiency. Our vehicles embody not only sportiness, progress and technical innovations, but also the intelligent use of resources. An example: the aluminium hybrid construction. This lightweight technology, which until now has been applied predominantly to sports car manufacturing, delivers greater agility and thus increased efficiency with reduced consumption. Another example: the TDI engines with common rail technology.
Audi efficiency 41
Audi ultra Audi on the podium: the Audi R18 TDI Audi ultra: Every gram less extends the lead. Audi ultra, the pioneering lightweight technology from Audi, is more than just the sum of its individual components. It combines innovative materials, intelligent design principles and production processes that use resources sparingly into an overall concept. Many Audi ultra lightweight measures have already been implemented in the Audi A6 and S6 models. This starts with the body itself.
About weight reduction The demands placed on modern vehicles are contradictory. On the one hand, they must offer enhanced performance and comfort, on the other they need to be more economical and efficient. Audi ultra resolves this conflict by examining each and every component. We demand the highest functionality combined with the lowest possible weight. The result is an intelligent mix of materials that even allows a reduction in engine size: Lighter vehicles no longer need a large engine to be agile.
FSI®/TFSI® timing chain high-pressure pump integrated supercharger module switchable water pump Many hours of development time. Thousands of miles of testing. And for what reason? 3.
Audi cylinder on demand in the TFSI® engine. If the V8 4.0 TFSI engine of the Audi S6 does not require the full power of the 8 cylinders in the partial-load range, the inlet- and outlet valves of 4 cylinders – 2 each per cylinder bank – are closed by Audi cylinder on demand and their ignition and fuel injection are switched off. This means that neither is air taken in, fuel injected nor is exhaustgas emitted.
TDI® The piezo injectors open and close in fractions of a millisecond and inject fuel several times into the combustion chamber at pressures of up to 1,800 bar. In some cases, an injection process can involve the injection of the tiniest of amounts weighing less than a thousandth of a gramme. Pre-injection results in a “gentle” combustion process and consequently excellent combustion acoustics and agreeable engine running characteristics.

hybrid e-automatic air conditioning: is operated by an electric air conditioning supercharger, independently of the engine. This means climate control is always available – even in pure electric mode and with the engine switched off when the vehicle is at a standstill. Hybrid power electronics: independently control the flow of energy between high-voltage battery and electric motor and ensure the vehicle power supply.
Lithium-ion battery system: determines the performance and operating radius of the hybrid drive. It has 2 major advantages over conventional nickel metal-hydride batteries: its high energy density means greater power output, whilst the compact construction considerably reduces its weight. This in turn benefits the vehicle’s luggage capacity: despite the battery, it has a volume of 375 litres above the loading floor.
hybrid 2 bar charts visualise the average consumption of the combustion engine (orange) and the recuperation amount of the electric motor (green) in 5-minute intervals.
Recuperation Electric-powered driving Boost Combined driving in hybrid mode Every vehicle has its own character. This one has three. The Audi A6 hybrid lets you decide whether to put the emphasis on high efficiency or a dynamic driving style – at the push of a button. There are three different driving programs to determine how the hybrid technology is used. You can drive purely electrically in EV mode – up to 100 km/h, virtually noise-free, and emission-reduced.
S tronic® S tronic: 2 multi-disc clutches ensure sporty dynamics and a high level of efficiency.
What is the benefit of two clutches? A double saving: time and energy. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission facilitates rapid gear shifting with hardly any perceptible interruption in power flow and is particularly efficient. Walter Röhrl tested this technology back in 1985 in the Sport quattro S1 – and was suitably impressed. Audi drivers share his enthusiasm to this day, because the modern S tronic changes gear at lightning speed. To do this, two multiplate clutches serve the different gears.
quattro®/quattro® with sports differential Why only use two wheels when a car has four? The quattro® permanent all-wheel drive. quattro is a permanent all-wheel drive system. If the wheels on one axle of the vehicle lose grip on the road and threaten to spin, then the drive force is transferred to the other axle – automatically and permanently distributed through the centre differential. The basic distribution is 40 : 60 – 40 % of the drive force comes from to the front axle, 60 % to the rear.
quattro with sports differential continuously varies the amounts of driving force distributed to each rear wheel and ensures high cornering agility and impressive driving dynamics.

engine adaptive air suspension transmission steering quattro with sports differential reversible seat belt tensioner MMI – Multi Media Interface cornering light Everybody defines driving dynamics differently. We define it like this: drive exactly how you feel. With the standard Audi drive select you can influence individual vehicle components at the push of a button and so change the character of your Audi.
adaptive air suspension Fully load-bearing air springs on the front and rear axles of the vehicle to provide a sporty and comfortable driving feel. Dynamics and comfort were once opposites. We’ve made the differences vanish into thin air. Every road is different - but there’s no reason for you to notice. How do we do it? In the Audi A6 and A6 Avant the optional adaptive air suspension adapts the suspension for many different driving situations and for the road.
The almost infinitely variable damping adjusts itself automatically to every driving situation in fractions of a second. Even with asymmetrically distributed loads, the vehicle remains in a level position thanks to continuous ride-height regulation.
Audi connect Research project: “Audi Urban Mobility” 60 Unmanned to the summit. How useful it can be to network a vehicle with its environment is demonstrated by the research project “Audi Urban Mobility”. As part of this project, a vehicle was created based on the Audi TTS. In September 2010, this vehicle managed to climb the 20-kilometre Pikes Peak road in the Rocky Mountains unaided and without a driver. The project featured an electronics system that helps drivers to avoid hazardous situations.

MMI® – Multi Media Interface Phone: The optional fitting for mobile phone (Bluetooth) or the Bluetooth car phone online have a menu screen with call lists, address book and selection interface as the initial setting. MMI touch: You can “write” with your finger on the MMI touch. The system recognises letters and numbers. It can be used for navigation and for your phone. In jukebox mode, you can also thumb through the albums of your music collection with a brief stroke of the finger.
Audi connect: Traffic information online You not only get the right route to your destination but the quickest one too. In addition to traffic flow information, traffic information online provides faster information on the occurrence and clearing of traffic jams for dynamic route guidance as well as greater coverage of the road network. Audi connect: Travel information/weather provides weather forecasts and relevant information, such as charts and weather maps relating to the destination.
Assistance systems You sit at the wheel. Others are working in the background. Most road accidents are caused by human error. Modern assistance systems can help to reduce their severity. Audi puts various different technologies to work to help you reach your destination safely. The assistance systems are closely networked, which increases their intelligence, versatility and performance. With the help of these systems, your journey will be safer and more relaxed.
Audi side assist including Audi pre sense rear*: Displays are integrated into the exterior mirrors. Operational from a vehicle speed of 30 km/h, Audi side assist uses 2 radar sensors (with a range of approx. 70 m) to measure the vehicle’s distance from other detected vehicles, as well as the speed difference between them.
Audi pre sense 67 Because in an emergency, a second is 0.9 seconds too long. Audi pre sense. The Audi A6 and S6 models not only come with many new technical innovations but also with something extra special on request: a sort of sixth sense – or Audi pre sense. Various vehicle systems categorise different driving situations and, where necessary, implement actions for preventive occupant protection or for collision reduction.
Night vision assistant/head-up display Night vision assistant with highlighting of detected pedestrians Turning night into day. At the press of a button. The human eye is one of the most sensitive sensory organs. But even it can sometimes miss something. For example, when it is dark or you have been dazzled. We are doing our best to help you in these situations.
Pedestrians identified in the detection area are highlighted in yellow. Should the system detect an imminent collision, the highlighting turns from yellow to red and a warning tone will sound. In addition, the person is illuminated with 3 successive brief flashes of the right headlight (marking light).
LED headlights Subject: Lights <300° C Conventional light bulbs reach temperatures of up to 300° C. Due to their sophisticated technology, LED lights are somewhat more sensitive and should not get hotter than 150° C. Because of the engine, the temperature of the area around the headlights is already around 120° C. In theory, then, LED headlights would need an additional cooling system to be able to work.
