2 Answers
Audi A6 underwent a facelift in 2016. Here are the specific details about the Audi A6: 1. Powertrain: It features the new 839+ dual-clutch transmission, prioritizing comfort. It has low fuel consumption, with a combined fuel economy of 8.2L/100km. The new Audi A6L 3.0TFSI comes standard with adjustable air suspension. This leading configuration, unique among its peers, allows the driver to adjust the chassis system characteristics based on driving speed and road conditions, catering to different driving styles. 2. Handling: The operation is simple, with exceptionally smooth gear shifting. The car's chassis is robust, capable of handling various road conditions. It offers strong body stability with minimal body roll during turns, high-speed performance, excellent off-road capability, and outstanding escape ability. The spacious interior ensures no sense of crowding.
I've driven several generations of the Audi A6 and know the facelift years well. The sixth generation debuted in 2011 and received a mid-cycle update in 2014 with minor front-end tweaks, cooler headlights, upgraded interior materials, and a quieter ride. The seventh generation launched in 2018 and sold strongly until Audi's major 2023 update, which slightly reduced the grille size, enlarged the infotainment screen for better usability, and added new color options. With facelifts every 3-4 years, Audi consistently elevates both technology and design - post-update models also hold their value better on the used market. Note that facelifts typically debut in autumn, so what you see on roads are next-year models.
