Audi A6 2,0 T FSI MULTITRONIC

Executive saloons live in a small nice in market where once they represented a great volume of sales. The freshened A6 has subtly revised frontal styling including new headlamps incorporating daytime running lights. Enhancing the typically classy Audi cabin are a materials upgrade, a new steering wheel, revised instruments and MMI system. The There is no manual A6 offering any more and a Multitronic is not everyone’s transmission of choice. Its “continuously variable” modus operandi precludes the systematic rise and fall in engine revs encountered with a conventional automatic, which is off-putting until you get used to it. The 2,0 RSI did not win over all of the test team, and without trying to labour the point, the Multitronic is ho-hum. The base A6 is a spacious and comfortable executive saloon that is well priced and with definite appeal, but it is unlikely to steal a big slice of the sales cake.
