What is the ground clearance of the Audi A6?
2 Answers
The ground clearance of the Audi A6 is 185mm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as stones and tree stumps without collision. Below is a related introduction to the Audi A6: 1. Powertrain: The Audi A6L offers four engine options: 2.0TFSI, 2.5FSI, 2.8FSI, and 3.0TFSI, with the 2.5L engine being a newly added option. There are four transmission choices: a 6-speed manual transmission, an 8-speed multitronic continuously variable transmission, a manual-automatic integrated transmission, and a 7-speed Stronic dual-clutch transmission. 2. Features: Standard equipment in the A6 series includes bi-xenon headlights, automatic headlight cleaning, and automatic light adjustment. Luxury comfort features include a leather-wrapped steering wheel and seats, seat heating, wood trim, an electric rear window sunshade, and a BOSE sound system.
The ground clearance of the Audi A6 varies depending on the model and year. Generally, the standard sedan version has a clearance of around 140 mm, as with my older A6 model. This measurement is primarily determined by the suspension system and tire size, with larger wheels potentially increasing clearance slightly. Audi's drivetrain also plays a significant role—quattro versions maintain similar levels, while models equipped with air suspension can adjust to approximately 180 mm in certain driving modes, providing better capability on rough roads. Higher ground clearance reduces the risk of underbody scrapes during rural driving but requires extra caution with speed bumps and obstacles in urban areas. It's advisable to check the owner's manual or have it measured at a dealership, as clearance may differ by 10-20 mm between generations like the C7 or C8, affecting daily usability.
