About AUDI A6

The Audi A6 is a luxury passenger car (E-segment in Europe) manufactured by the German marque Audi within the Volkswagen Group. It is the successor to the Audi 100 and began to be manufactured from 1995. This vehicle is marketed in both Sedan and Estate body (Avant). Its platform and components are also shared with the Audi A7.

The first Audi A6 was launched in 1994 as a replacement for the Audi 100, coinciding with the renewal of the brand, which now premiered a new nomenclature for naming vehicles. This first model had little exterior changes from its predecessor, although it did introduce a whole new range of gasoline and diesel engines.

In 1997, the Audi A6 debuted a new design using the VAG C5 platform. It was a much modern model, with a fastback body style and excellent aerodynamics. In this second generation, both the S6 and the RS6 Sporty versions were introduced.

The third generation (C6) would arrive in 2004, which would be equivalent to the sixth generation of the Audi A100. This model included many elements of its big brother, the Audi A8. It also had a Long version and was redesigned in 2008.

The fourth-generation model was sold between 2011 and 2018. The resemblance to the Audi A8 D4 became even more noticeable. In 2014, when the mid-cycle of this generation had been completed, the A6 was redesigned with a new front end and improved gasoline and diesel engines. The first hybrid versions of this car were also added.

The fifth and current generation of the A8 (C8) came out in 2018. It grew in both size and weight to accommodate the batteries needed for the hybrid versions. It uses the VAG Group’s MLB Evo platform.

Among the A6’s competitors are equivalent luxury vehicles such as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Jaguar XF, Lexus ES, Acura RLX, Volvo S80 or Infiniti Q70.
