What is the maximum ground clearance of the A6 Allroad?
1 Answers
The maximum ground clearance of the Audi A6 Allroad is 18.5 cm. The Audi A6 comes with a standard adaptive air suspension that allows for a 6 cm variability in ground clearance. In off-road mode, it reaches the peak ground clearance of 18.5 cm, but when switched to "Dynamic" mode, it reduces from the standard 13.9 cm to 12.4 cm. Below are the advantages of the air suspension: Ensures a smooth ride: The adaptive suspension system can independently dampen each tire. Each adjustment controls the ride height and significantly impacts directional stability, driving feel, and aerodynamics. The vehicle's suspension can individually adjust each suspension within milliseconds to ensure a smooth ride and eliminate body movement, making the vehicle feel stable during motion. Controls ride height: It can automatically adjust the height. Each air damper responds within milliseconds to the current driving conditions, continuously and automatically damping each wheel, thereby lowering the overall center of gravity and significantly improving directional stability. The ride height can be adjusted to suit road conditions and driver preferences. Ensures handling performance: A higher ride height means better off-road capability, reducing concerns about scraping the chassis on rough roads. However, a higher ride height also means a higher center of gravity, which can affect handling stability. A lower ride height offers better handling stability and a lower drag coefficient but compromises off-road capability. The air springs effectively resolve this contradiction. Each air spring is equipped with a ride height sensor, allowing for both manual and real-time adjustments. The ride height can be increased for better off-road capability on poor roads and lowered for improved handling performance on smooth roads.
