The doors of Audi A6 are made of steel plates, not aluminum alloy. Only specific models like RS6, RS4, and A8 feature an all-aluminum body. Audi A6 body size configuration: The length, width, and height of the Audi A6 are 5038x1886x1475mm. Audi A6 powertrain configuration: The Audi A6 offers a choice between a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 2.0-liter low-power version has a maximum horsepower of 190, the 2.0-liter high-power version reaches 224 horsepower, and the 3.0-liter version delivers a maximum of 340 horsepower.
I've been driving an Audi A6 C8 for two years and found that the doors are indeed made of aluminum alloy, not steel. This design makes the car significantly lighter, giving a quicker acceleration feel in daily driving and slightly better fuel efficiency, especially suitable for congested urban roads. Once I had a minor scrape, and the aluminum door dented more easily than a steel one. The repair technician mentioned higher repair costs, requiring specialized welding equipment, unlike steel doors which are simpler to fix. Overall, the benefits include durability, rust resistance, reduced weight for better handling, but maintenance requires caution to avoid hitting hard objects. The salesperson emphasized the lightweight concept when I bought the car, ideal for performance-oriented owners.
