Autocar First Drive - Audi A6 3.0 T quattro






What is it?

The facelifted version of Audi’s sixth-generation A6, that heralds a new supercharged 3.0-litre V6 direct injection petrol engine, set to land here in late October.

In keeping with Audi tradition the mid-life changes are numerous but all extremely subtle.

Look carefully and you’ll see a new front bumper with an altered grille that does away with the licence plate bar and gains redesigned air ducts for improved engine bay cooling.

There are also new headlamps with integrated LED daytime running lights, reworked exterior mirror housings with integrated repeater lamps and added chrome along the shoulder line.

The biggest visual change, however, has been reserved for the rear, where the A6 receives shapely new tail lamps with smart LED graphics that now extend into the boot lid.

The rear bumper has also been reworked; it’s edgier than before and receives a cleaner looking integration of the tail pipes.

Inside, the changes are equally as subtle; there’s new instrument graphics, a redesigned arm rest within the doors, some added chrome among the switches and minor tweaks to the MMI multi-media interface, but nothing too significant.
