The latest C8 Audi A6 has been officially launched
in Malaysia, with a sole 3.0 TFSI quattro variant being offered, priced from
RM 589,900 on-the-road without insurance. The A6 draws motivation from an EA839 3.0 litre
turbocharged V6 petrol engine, which serves up 340 PS from 5,000 to
6,400 rpm and 500 Nm of torque from 1,370 to 4,500 rpm. The mill features a
48-volt mild-hybrid system that consists of a belt-alternator starter (BAS) with
a rear-mounted lithium-ion battery to enable coasting between 55-160 km/h.
Other aspects of the powertrain include a
seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission and quattro all-wheel drive
system. Performance-wise, the A6 3.0 TFSI quattro accelerates from zero to 100
km/h in 5.1 seconds and on to a top speed of 250 km/h. The rated fuel
consumption here is 7.2 l/100 km.
As for equipment, the A6 comes with 20-inch
five-spoke alloy wheels in a V-style design (with 255/40 series tyres), HD
Matrix LED headlamps and LED rear combination taillights (both with dynamic
turn signals), suspension with damper control, all-wheel steering, Audi drive
select, the S line exterior package and a panoramic sunroof.
On the inside, you’ll find Valcona leather
upholstery paired with Aluminium Fragment inlay, powered front seats with
driver-side memory function, four-zone climate control, an ambient lighting
package, MMI navigation plus with MMI touch response, Audi connect, Audi
virtual cockpit, sunshades, a head-up display and a Bang & Olufsen sound
system.
Also standard is Audi pre sense front and rear, six
airbags (front, sides and curtain), parking aid plus with around view monitor,
lane change assistant, lane departure warning, tyre pressure monitoring system
and cruise control with speed limiter. Customers will get to choose from
11 exterior colours as well as three shades for the Valcona leather. The price
