The Audi nameplate has long been associated with luxury - and more importantly with affordable luxury. The new 2016 Audi A6 is no exception, and this fine vehicle fits very nicely into the stable of vehicles designed and built by the iconic German manufacturer.
The A6 model may already be familiar to you, especially if you are a fan of the Audi nameplate. The 2016 version of the Audi A6 has many of the same impressive features as previous models, but newcomers will also find plenty of things to love.
With a list price of just over $47,000, the 2016 Audi A6 is clearly aimed at the buyer who wants a touch of luxury at a price that will not break the bank. The $47,000 price point puts the Audi squarely in competition with entries by Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Lexus, and the A6 holds up very well in that rarified company.
The 2016 version of the Audi A6 comes with plenty of power, courtesy of a 252-horsepower engine in the standard version. That engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder model, paired with an exhilarating 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Drivers who need more flexibility and stability on snowy and icy roads might want to look at the optional all-wheel drive option. Audi has been a leader in all-wheel drive technology for many years now, and safety has always been important to the carmaker. The availability of all-wheel drive and stability control are further proof that Audi cares about the safety of its drivers.
Those drivers will not have to sacrifice fuel economy for safety or give up the fun of driving to save money at the pump. The 2016 version of the Audi A6 is rated at 20 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, so you can hit the road with confidence and enjoy excellent fuel economy for such a capable vehicle.
Speaking of capability, the Audi A6 can go from 0-60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, so you can face those crowded highway on-ramps with confidence. That speed is essential for many drivers, but it is nice to have no matter where you plan to drive.
The 2016 Audi A6 has a top speed of 128 mph, but most drivers will not have to worry about that. Even so, the high top speed rating is further evidence that the Audi A6 has plenty of power - and that it is good for everything from daily commuting to long road trips.
Drivers who prefer the reliability and long life of a diesel vehicle may want to look at the diesel version of the 2016 Audi A6. The diesel Audi A6 has even more power than the gasoline version, with a rating of 333-horsepower. Whether you pair that engine with an easy to use automatic transmission or a fun to drive manual, you will have plenty of fun every time you hit the open road.
Long time Audi fans will find plenty to love in the 2016 version of the Audi A6. At the same time, those new to the brand will find that the A6 compares well to competitors like Cadillac, Lexus, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. If you are looking for luxury at an affordable price, why not head to your local Audi dealer for an exhilarating test drive?
