Successor to one of the world’s most successful executive sedans, the new Audi A6 features groundbreaking solutions in every area of technology. The body is intelligently built light, owing to a significant proportion of aluminum components. This lightweight technology has proven itself in the world famous 24 hrs of Le Mans, where Audi has so far won 10 victories, and as the first auto company ever with a Diesel. The range of assistance and multimedia systems is extensive, and operation is intuitive and user friendly. Audi India got its brand new A6 2.0 TDI road tested in a coast-to-coast drive by a leading Auto magazine with an amazing 18.9 km/litre under real Indian road conditions, making it by far the most efficient business luxury limousine in India.

On the occasion of the completion of this real India road test, Michael Perschke, Head - Audi India said: "It gives us great pride in showcasing that the new Audi A6 has again established a new benchmark globally and now proven on Indian roads. With the reversion of the weight spiral, we were able to make the new A6 lighter than its predecessor thanks to the use of hybrid materials and using our years of experience with aluminum. We have now proved on Indian road conditions that our diesel technology leadership is very relevant and successful. This technology made us the winner at the world famous endurance race - 24hrs of LeMans this year again. The new A6 2.0 TDI is a new benchmark globally and in India for sporty, yet efficient driving, paired with Audi’s progressive design. We achieved consumption levels with a 1585 kg weight car, which many smaller cars in India cannot achieve. This clearly signifies our philosophy - "Vorsprung durch Technik". With the arrival of this important model and the 2.0 TDi engine in India, we are confident that we might even increase our forecast for this year based on a strong response to the new A6."
