The all-new 2019 Audi A6 was one of the star
attractions at this year’s Geneva Motor Show back in March, boasting an
aggressive, yet stylish Prologue-esque exterior, following in the footsteps of
its A7 Sportback sibling.
Aside from the fresh styling, the new A6 also boasts
an all-digital MMI touch response system, modern connectivity and driver
assistance systems, a more comfortable ride and mild-hybrid engines as standard
across the range.
Compared to its predecessor, the new model is also
larger, measuring 4,939 mm in length, 1,886 mm in width,
while standing 1,457 mm tall. All these numbers make the A6 slightly
longer, wider and less tall than its direct rivals from BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
The German brand has also gone into detail regarding
the A6’s interior color schemes and materials. Aside from the three available
color zones, customers can also play around with fine-wood inlays, fine grain
ash, fine grain birch and walnut and other decorative trims, before settling on
their preferred configuration.
As for the seats, they can be had in Valcona
leather, with optional piping and fine perforation. Go for the S sport ones and
you get Valcona leather (again) or a combination of leather and Alcantara,
where a rhombus pattern and embossed S logos adorn the top ends of the rear
seatbacks.
So far, only the regular saloon and estate (Avant)
versions have been presented officially, although a sportier S6 has already
been caught on camera wearing camouflage. Allroad as well as RS6 versions are
also expected to arrive in the not too distant future.
