No. Below is the relevant introduction of the Audi A6L: Standard Audi Virtual Cockpit across the lineup: In terms of interior, the new generation A6L comes standard with the Audi Virtual Cockpit, featuring a 10.1-inch display, an 8.6-inch touchscreen below, and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel. It is worth mentioning that the new generation model will be equipped with the latest MMI system, offering intelligent search suggestions, voice control, Car-to-X services, and other functions. New family design language: The new generation Audi A6L is based on Audi's latest MLB Evo platform. The exterior adopts Audi's latest family-style design, with the large hexagonal grille still embodying Audi's signature "big mouth" design. The headlights on both sides have become more sharp and stylish, complemented by bold straight-line elements, giving the new car a sporty feel.
Last time when I drove my friend's Audi A6L on a long trip, we talked about refueling. Such high-end cars really need 95-octane gasoline. The fuel cap clearly indicates 95-octane or above. Using 92-octane might not show problems in the short term, but it will definitely harm the engine in the long run. The turbocharged 2.0T/3.0T engines have a compression ratio exceeding 10:1, and 92-octane fuel's anti-knock performance can't keep up. At best, the engine will knock and make a thumping sound; at worst, the malfunction indicator light will come on, and the car will break down. Once at the dealership, I saw an owner who tried to save money by using 92-octane, and by 30,000 kilometers, the car had severe carbon buildup, shaking, and stalling. Cleaning the carbon deposits cost nearly 5,000 yuan. The little money saved on fuel isn't worth the repair costs, so just stick to 95-octane.
