Audi - A6 Euro NCAP - 5 STAR
The A6 is a fantastic executive saloon, with superior technology and refinement, making it one of the most desirable models in the prestige market. The 2.0TFSI engine is an Audi masterpiece combining excellent performance with reduced emissions. An exhilarating driving experience with luxurious accommodation.
Whilst there is an emphasise on performance and quality, security and safety remain high on the build list. The Audi A6 saloon received the Euro NCAP maximum five stars safety testing, with every model fitted with anti-skid and stability control, anti-lock brakes and six airbags.
Available in Saloon, Avant (Estate), "Allroad" Quattro and the sporty S6 models, there's a good range of engines to choose from including the 2.4 litre V6 petrol, a 3.2 V6 and a strong 4.2 V8, plus 2.0 litre four-cylinder, and 2.7 and 3.0 V6 turbodiesels. All the Audi A6 models, including the diesel variants, comply with the EU IV emission standard.
With the 2.0 petrol Saloon S line returning an impressive independently documented 35.8 mpg consumption it is not hard to see why WhatgreenCar.com ranked the A6 in its top 3 executive green cars.
The range starts with SE trim, which is luxuriously equipped with standard features such as climate control, a CD player and automatic headlights and wipers. S line versions have stiffened suspension and sportier cabin trim. A huge boot with a low lip and a big opening - more boot space than any rival can offer makes the A6 top choice for practicality
The Avant has an enormous cabin space and a wide range of seating and steering-wheel adjustments. Everything about this vehicle has been polished to a level that marks this car out as one of the best-built executive estates of the moment - and better than some luxury cars.
All models come with a 3 year 60000 mile, 3 year paint, 12 year perforation and 3 year breakdown manufacturers warranty.
About the manufacturer
Audi has been recognized by the European Union for outstanding environmental protection, based on its long tradition of minimizing and reusing waste.
Closed water and waste cycles, the use of water soluble paints and the recovery of heat energy have all helped to considerably reduce the environmental impact at all Audi sites.
The TDI models developed by Audi emit between 20 and 25 percent less CO2 than conventional petrol cars with manifold injection. Their FSI engines are more efficient, have higher torque and use a lot less fuel particularly when a vehicle is driven in an environmentally considerate way.
Audi is streets ahead of its international competitors in the use of light metal and has already received around 40 awards for the designs of its A2 and A8 aluminium bodies. The company has been carrying out research into vehicle bodies made completely from aluminium as a lightweight construction material for about 20 years.
Since 1988, in accordance with a decision by the board of directors, every new audi model must be produced from materials confirmed as recyclable
