After making its debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the Audi A6 facelift has arrived in the Indian market. With ex-showroom prices starting at Rs 49.50 lakh, the updated premium mid-size sedan is now on sale in India.
The new A6 gets several changes to the interior and exterior as well as additional equipment. Design wise, the biggest and much-awaited additions are the newly designed headlights with twin-lined fibre optic LED strips. These are the same Matrix LED headlamps that are available on the recently launched RS6 Avant. More changes include a revised set of tail lights with swept back indicators and restyled tailpipes.
Inside, the new A6 features the latest version of Audi’s MMI touch interface for the audio system, navigation unit and the various driver-oriented functions of the car. Audi has also included new upholstery and bits of trim to rejuvenate the cabin. Standard features, meanwhile, include adaptive air suspension, Bose surround system, 8 airbags, Audi Drive Select, four-zone climate control and lots more.
Audi has retained the engine line-up for the A6 facelift. The diesel versions get the same 2-litre TDI engine with around 190bhp of power and Audi’s S-Tronic automatic gearbox.
The new A6 facelift continues to rival the likes of BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Jaguar XF.
