What is the air suspension height value of the Audi A6L?
2 Answers
Audi A6L's air suspension lowers the vehicle height by 2.5cm in automatic damping mode and 2cm in Sport damping mode. Working principle of air suspension: The air suspension system mainly consists of a control computer, air compressor, pressure storage tank, pneumatic front and rear shock absorbers, and an air distributor. Functions of air suspension: Vehicle level control, vehicle level adjustment, and ADS function. The system uses an air compressor to generate compressed air, which is then delivered to the air chambers of the springs and shock absorbers. Height sensors are installed near both front and rear wheels. Based on the signals from these sensors, the vehicle's computer determines changes in vehicle height and controls the compressor and exhaust valves to compress or extend the springs, thereby achieving damping effects and altering the vehicle's height.
As an Audi A6L owner, I've always appreciated its air suspension height adjustment feature. When driving in the city in normal mode, the ground clearance is about 15cm, making speed bumps very comfortable to pass; switching to dynamic mode lowers it to around 12cm, enhancing responsiveness and stability during high-speed cornering. For muddy or snowy roads, the all-road mode raises the height to 19cm, significantly improving passability and preventing undercarriage scrapes. The system automatically senses road conditions to adjust height, making it convenient and worry-free, but regular maintenance is essential, especially for the air pump and sensors, to prevent leaks that could cause height deviations. Several high-speed tests showed that lowering to the minimum height saves fuel, averaging about 12L/100km. These values may vary slightly by model year, so it's advisable to check the manual and compare with your actual vehicle to avoid misoperation that could damage the system. This feature truly enhances driving pleasure and makes long trips more comfortable.
