Is there a difference between Comfort mode and Auto mode in the Audi A6L?
2 Answers
Differences in steering wheel weight and power performance. Below is relevant information about the Audi A6L: 1. Introduction: The Audi A6L was the first Audi model to enter the Chinese market, with its predecessor being the third-generation Audi 100 (code C3) introduced domestically in 1988. The Audi A6L is a vehicle series developed by FAW-Volkswagen Audi based on the German new A6, serving as the successor to the A6. In June 2012, the new-generation Audi A6L was launched, equipped with 35-TFSI powertrain, and its exterior design somewhat resembles the new version of the A4L. 2. Design: The new Audi A6L adopts a five-link front suspension design, balancing the necessary rigid connection for sportiness and the low static stiffness required for comfort. Among them, the hydraulic form of the frame damping support significantly enhances driving comfort, effectively reducing the impact and jerkiness when passing over speed bumps and uneven road surfaces, thereby minimizing lumbar impact.
As a long-time owner of the Audi A6L, I frequently drive this car for my daily commute. The difference between Comfort mode and Auto mode is quite noticeable. In Comfort mode, the car adjusts the suspension to be softer, reducing bumps when driving over rough roads, making the ride as comfortable as sitting on a sofa; the throttle response is also slower, ensuring smooth acceleration without sudden jerks. Auto mode is much smarter—the system adjusts automatically based on my driving habits and road conditions: if I accelerate aggressively on the highway, it shifts to a sportier setup; in city traffic jams, it automatically switches back to comfort. It feels more responsive, but sometimes it misjudges my intentions. If you prioritize absolute smoothness, choose Comfort mode. Auto mode is better suited for varied road conditions. For daily use, Auto is fine, but for long trips, I always switch to Comfort—my family also finds it more relaxing and less likely to cause motion sickness.
