ALL-NEW AUDI: NEW A6 AN AUDI PROMISING WORLD CLASS HANDLING
Audi believes its all-new A6 saloon is finally the car to usurp the BMW 5 Series as champion of the ultra-competitive executive saloon class, thanks to its complete reinvention inside and out, with a new look, fresh technology and a bolstering of its sporting appeal. The eighth-generation A6, on sale in June, will be available with mild-hybrid engines only much like the recently launched A7, and will later offer a plug-in hybrid as “bridge technology” to pure electric. For now, the new executive saloon will be offered with four engine options: a V6 3.0-litre TFSI petrol and three diesels, a 2.0-litre TDI and a 3.0-litre TDI in two states of tune.
