What is the minimum turning radius of the Audi A6?

6.3 meters. Introduction to minimum turning radius: The minimum turning radius refers to the radius of the trajectory circle rolled by the center of the outer steering wheel on the supporting plane when the steering wheel is turned to its limit position and the car turns at the lowest stable speed. Impact of minimum turning radius on driving: It largely characterizes the car's ability to pass through narrow and curved areas or bypass insurmountable obstacles. The smaller the turning radius, the better the car's maneuverability. To ensure that the wheels roll purely without sliding during steering, the minimum turning radius is determined by the vehicle's wheelbase. A longer wheelbase results in a larger turning radius, but vehicles with a longer wheelbase have better driving smoothness.
I've been driving an Audi A6 for several years, and the minimum turning radius of this car is approximately 6 meters, with a steering system designed to be quite flexible. When navigating narrow alleys in the city, turning the steering wheel to full lock is effortless, making it more convenient than other large vehicles. I remember once making a U-turn in a shopping mall's underground parking lot—despite the limited space, a single turn of the wheel was enough, demonstrating how well-controlled wheelbase reduces turning difficulty. Frequent turns on urban roads make this parameter important when choosing a car, especially for novice drivers who can adapt more quickly. Tire condition also affects the turning radius; insufficient tire pressure can increase difficulty, so regular tire pressure checks are essential. Overall, the A6's handling makes daily driving much easier, ensuring safety and reliability whether parking or making sharp turns.
