Gallery: The Audi A6 Avant

The new Audi A6 Avant is 4.94 meters long, 1.89 meters wide and 1.47 meters high. These are the specs that matter because when it comes to station wagons, practicality trumps the priority list. So Audi made sure to make the interior to be larger than its previous models and targeted to beat all of their competitors in that aspect.

Its interior is even larger than on the predecessor model. It beats the competition with front and rear elbow room as well as with knee room in the rear seat area. You get up to 1,680 litres with the backrests folded down. The tailgate and the luggage compartment cover open electrically as standard; an optional sensor control is available for the tailgate. The rear seats can be folded 40:20:40 as a standard.

The luggage compartment is equipped with the proven rail system as a standard. Customers can individually position four variable lashing points to secure objects. The A6 Avant also includes a tensioning strap, a net and two hooks. The optional load-securing kit with telescopic bar and strap allows individual sectioning of the luggage compartment.

The new A6 Avant is at home on long journeys, also thanks to the low interior noise level. The aerodynamics and aeroacoustics are top-class; the drag coefficient of the entry-level engine, which will go on sale after the market launch, is 0.27. The body made of steel and aluminum components offers extraordinary rigidity.
