2019 Audi A6 Driving Video

As part of the launch in the European markets in July 2018, the A6 will be available with three V6 engines. Four-cylinder engines as TFSI and TDI will extend the portfolio at a later date. All engines provide outstandingly strong power delivery, high efficiency and refined operation. The V6 gasoline engine in the Audi A6 55 TFSI is a 3.0 TFSI, producing 250 kW (340 hp) and 500 Nm (368.8 lb-ft). The 3.0 TDI in the Audi A6 50 TDI in its 210 kW (286 hp) version produces even more torque, i.e. 620 Nm (457.3 lb-ft).

All variants of the A6 are fitted standard with automatic transmissions. While the V6 diesel engines are paired with an eight-speed tiptronic, the 3.0 TFSI is coupled as standard with a seven-speed S tronic. All three-liter engines forward their power as standard to the quattro all-wheel drive. In conjunction with the tiptronic, the A6 has a self-locking center differential. With the S tronic, it uses ultra technology, which instantly activates rear-wheel drive as needed. For the V6 TDI, Audi also offers the sport differential as an option - it makes fast cornering even more dynamic and stable by actively distributing the power between the rear wheels.
