SIGNIFICANTLY SAVVY

When we got the Audi A6 45 TFSI Technology model that was primarily launched more than a year back, we were pleasantly surprised. Everything still looked so up to date that we wondered whether Audi actually makes futuristic models.

Usually when we pick up a one-year-old car, it kind of looks dated, its features, kind of obsolete and there always seems to be something out of sync with the latest. But when we got the Audi A6 45 TFSI Technology model that was primarily launched more than a year back, we were pleasantly surprised. Everything still looked so up to date that we wondered whether Audi actually makes futuristic models.

The Audi A6 comes in two trim levels, Premium Plus and Technology, the latter being a tad more expensive at Rs 59.42 lakh, ex-showroom. We got hold of the Technology model to drive for a while and now that we have experienced it, let’s come straight to its features and performance in a brief manner.

EXTERIOR

The car looks sleek, sporty and elegant. It comes with a smart roofline and short overhangs. In front you get to see the wide, low-set single-frame grille with chrome trim and powerfully drawn air inlets. It has a length of 4939mm, a width of 1886mm without mirrors and a width of 2110mm with mirrors. The height of the car is 1457mm. The wheelbase stands at 2924mm.
