A ride to suit you

Not all driving situations are the same. Audi drive select, standard across the A6 range, changes handling and response at the touch of a button to suit how you want to drive. There are four modes: Comfort, Dynamic, Auto and Individual.

For long-distances, 'Comfort' adjusts your set-up to create a more relaxing ride. The 'Dynamic' is for a sportier driving experience, sharpening the cars steering and throttle response. The 'Auto' mode adapts the system depending on the current driving situation while 'Individual' allows you to configure the dynamics of the car to your own preferences depending on what special equipment is fitted.

Satellite navigation as standard

The Audi A6 comes with satellite navigation as standard. The system includes:

• A 6.5" folding colour display in the dashboard
• High quality map display
• Dynamic route guidance
• Single CD player
• 2 SD memory card slots

Easy parking

The Acoustic Parking System, with its eight ultrasonic sensors, provides all-round assistance when parking the A6. As soon as the distance to an obstacle at the front, rear or side is down to a preset minimum, you are warned of the fact by a tone signal, as well as a graphical indication on the MMI Screen. The closer you get to an obstacle, the faster the tones sound until you're less than 25cm away, when the tone becomes continuous. The system is only activated when reverse gear is engaged.

The optional Parking System Advanced adds to this a small camera in the boot lid, providing a 130° view to the rear, displayed on the Multi Media Interface screen. The image is overlaid with coloured graphics and shows the path the vehicle will take based on the position of the steering wheel. With blind spots minimised, the driver is able to park effortlessly in even the tightest of parking spots.

When activated the impressive Park assist option scans the side of the road for spaces large enough to accommodate the A6 (both parallel and right-angle spaces) and alerts you when it finds one. You then pull up alongside the space and select reverse the steering wheel is controlled automatically to establish the correct parking line while you simply control the speed until the car is parked. Everything else is done for you.

Lighting your path

Xenon headlights produce light that is much closer to daylight and about twice as much as comparable halogen bulbs, and make night driving, particularly in poor weather, safer and less tiring for your eyes.

The optional adaptive lights swivel in the headlamp cluster. When turning, they follow the steering wheel and cast a wider angle of illumination so you can see round the bend more clearly at night.

At the rear, the A6 Saloon's lightweight LED tail lights offer greater visibility, penetration and an overall safer driving experience, as well as lasting longer than conventional halogen bulbs.

Lightweight construction

As much of the Audi A6 Saloon as possible is made from aluminium - including elements of the doors, the bonnet, the tailgate and the wings.

Improved efficiency and enhanced handling are just two benefits of lightweight construction.

But this efficiency does not come at the expense of safety. Throughout the A6 Saloon's body, specific zones requiring reinforcement have panels of varying thickness ensuring strength in the event of a collision.

All this ensures that the Audi A6 Saloon has maximum performance and efficiency with no detrimental effect to safety.

LED rear lights

The two-section, energy-saving rear LED lights give the new Audi A6 a distinctive recognition feature on the road.

Stylish and efficient

LED lights provide a brighter light during daytime and, thanks to innovative LED technology, they consume less energy and have a considerably longer working life than standard bulbs.
