A touch of a button in the high resolution Central display, where they only minimal distract the view from the road will bring directions and other data from the Infotainment System.
In addition to the various subroutines the steering wheel has a job do however priority - driving. Already after the first driven meters with the Audi A6 soft in the test marked precision and good feedback the prejudices about deaf, electro-mechanical systems on. Together with the new chassis, whose Komponenten is recruited from the oft-quoted modular longitudinal building Kit for the first time, the Audi shoots A6 is in the test it in a brand so far largely unknown orbit of driving dynamics. Understeer? Only with the greatest gas high spirits at the entrance of the curve. Even who surprisingly that weighing less than 1.8 tons artfremd kidnapped light sedan on the track, experienced even in tight chicanes pronounced neutrality, the end of which announces by light, well controlled oversteer.

This is almost clerical looking calm, which is interrupted at most of the voluminous sounds of the Bose sound system in the Interior.

Typical of the compressor A6 is available in the Audi already lush torque from idle. However, loses the direct-injection in the test after the leaving of the plateau of torque not the desire of weiterzudrehen until the onset of delimiter at around 6,500 rpm. Then the dual-clutch transmission changes hastily in the next motion, whether the driver now like it or not. The kickdown function is also maintained in manual mode, what probably upsets anyone in everyday life. Only consumption also taking into account the performance will be slightly lower.
Apart from A6 blowing as much harmony by the drive unit including through the suspension control in the Audi. This applies equally to the Interior? Already possible that future A6 owners neglect their Bulthaup kitchens or Rolf Benz seating, to include all layers the new oak real wood inserts in the garage, or try to put the minimum gap. Actually the Audi continues that high craftsmanship A6 in the test, which recently started with the A7.
In contrast to the hatchback model but also the rear passengers can to work the high-quality details a relaxed, since greater headroom will give. Also, pressure points on the knees must not fear other passengers as a result of AIDS increased compared to the predecessor to 6.9 inches on 2.91 metres.

Gone to 71 mm to the front and enlarged with to 19 mm gauge, they significantly the agile handling of A6 contributes to. An electro-mechanical steering has also been integrated, that was arranged for a more direct means in the lower level of the handlebar and before the middle of the wheel. The springs at the rear support out directly on the wheel carrier and no longer on the Trapeze bar, which benefits the driving comfort.
