My impression of the Audi A6: I’ve driven the Audi 6 (the previous model) and of course, it’s an awesome car. A few days ago, the media had the privilege to view the car at the Audi showroom in Kiarong. First impression: sexy and sleeker. The exterior has a sporty, edgier feel and the front grill is different as well from the previous model.

John Tan, Marketing Manager of Audi (Brunei), demoed us a great things on the Audi A6. He did a magnetic test to show that the body of the Audi A6 has many aluminium components which gives the driver and passengers more assurance on safety. I hope to test drive the facelift version of the Audi A6. It’s now available for viewing at their showroom.

The sexier and sleeker facelift version of the Audi A6

Audi A6 press release: The winner in the business class has just gotten better – Audi has thoroughly updated the A6 family. New engines, transmissions and headlights, plus a new infotainment system make the Sedan more efficient, more powerful, more attractive and more sophisticated than ever.

The Audi A6 sets new standards in many technical fields: the lightweight body containing many aluminium components, the powerful and highly efficient engines, the sporty chassis and the advanced assistance and multimedia systems.

Sharp lines, emphasized horizontals, athletically taut surfaces – the design of the A6 models epitomizes precision and sporty elegance. It was carefully honed as part of the model refresh, with changes made to the Singleframe grille, the headlights, air inlets, bumpers, side sills, rear lights and tailpipes. Audi optionally offers headlights with LED technology or Matrix LED technology, combined with dynamic turn signals.

Thanks to its intelligent composite construction concept, the body is extremely rigid and safe. Numerous components of aluminium and hot-shaped steel form the backbone of a systematic lightweight construction concept. The new A6 1.8 TFSI has a curb weight (without driver) of just 1,535 kilograms (3384.1 lb). Vibration comfort is excellent; cabin noise is extremely low.

The engine for the new A6 features a new entry-level TFSI unit with 140 kW (190 hp) output. All engines comply with the limits of the Euro 6 emission standard, and their CO2 emissions have been reduced by as much as 22 percent. At Audi, the most efficient gasoline and diesel engines bear the “ultra” label. Combined with the all‑new S tronic transmission, the 1.8 TFSI ultra consumes just 5.7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometres (41.3 US mpg), corresponding to 133 grams CO2 per kilometre (214 g/mi).

The chassis with its sophisticated wheel suspensions also combines supreme comfort with sporty handling. The 5-mode Audi Drive Select dynamic handling system is standard, and Audi Brunei offers a choice of a Dynamic and Sport suspension model with wheels between 18 and 19 inches diagonal.
