One year after a slight face lift of the BMW 5-series and six months before Mercedes launches an all-new E-class at the Geneva auto show, the time is right for Audi to give its A6 a makeover. The most interesting feature is an available supercharged V-6, but before we get there, let's check out the cosmetics.

The front end gets Audi's now-trademark LED daytime running lights in the form of slim strips. The huge grille - Audi calls it "single frame" - has a slightly different shape. The most obvious novelties are the gigantic (if only partly functional) air intakes that dominate the front bumper. Aggressive but somewhat inelegant, these A6 bumpers make the more powerful and sporty S6, which uses a front bumper with LED strips mounted lower, suddenly appear modest and subtle.

Although the changes in the front are debatable, the rear styling of the sedan clearly profits from a new trunklid and wider taillights. A fake diffuser mirrors the front air intakes. The tailgate and taillights of the Avant wagon remain almost unchanged, which is fine with us; the A6 Avant may be the most beautiful station wagon on the market. Four years after its launch in Germany, the A6 still looks crisp, and the changes should give it enough newness to stand its own against the competition.

Another constant detail Audi A6 is its heart - the engine V6, a previous version which is already outdated. Therefore, the introduction of a new 2,995 cc TFSI V6 is a very significant event. Moreover, this high-tech engine with supercharged, which is doing its utmost to integrate the high power and performance with relatively low fuel consumption. Times have changed and the main priority of the modern engine - producing more power in a wide range, and not try to achieve the maximum occasionally exorbitant speed and torque.

This engine became a worthy result of the use of new advanced technologies, developed and implemented by engineers Audi. It has a maximum power of 286 horsepower and produces 310 pound-feet of torque at 2500 - 4800 rpm. Audi claims that the new A6 will accelerate to 100 km / h in 5.9 seconds. Electronic speed limiter set at the mark in the 248 km / h. This ferocious V6 engine could easily match themselves with his relative - 4.2-liter V8, which has a capacity of 350 horsepower and produces 325 pound-feet of torque. Both engines provide the same acceleration time to 100 km / h, though V8 consumes slightly more fuel, which is quite natural - 10 km / liter compared with 10.8 km / liter. V6 even sounds very nice. When working the engine deep bass, which is characteristic for the V8, is almost absent, but replaced it with a soft baritone. Audi engineers are well tried tuning the sound of the exhaust and induction, trying to make the work of this engine as possible silent. You have to listen carefully to these sounds could begin to annoy you. In addition, six-speed automatic transmission Audi works in the standard paired with this engine and provides the perfect contrast. She is quite the best, helping to reduce the cost of fuel. A6 has always been a spacious vehicle. The new model is its overall length of 4.93 meters, which is 8.3 inches longer than the BMW 5-Series and 8.1 cm more E-Class. Audi cars are also quite wide, it is 2.03 meters wide. Its all-wheel drive Quattro system has also been seriously improved, like most other equipment A6. So now it distributes engine power so - 60% of the torque sent to the rear-wheel drive and 40% at the front. Theoretically, this would significantly change the handling of this car. But in practice, changes are minimal. Generally Audi A6 is a car that has many advantages. But they can not be attributed to the steering, which is rather vague. Audi engineers also worked hard to fame suspension A6, to maximize improve ride quality and balance of the car. Now the huge front bumpers provide a more predictable movement and better handling. The car is equipped with air suspension with multiple modes of operation - comfortable, dynamically and automatically.

2009 Audi A6 is a modified form of the lattice on the front bumper, fog lamps and air collectors, but these innovations is difficult to see. The only clearly visible external change in the front car is the introduction of LED light emitting diodes. In the rear of the A6 improvements more noticeable. In particular, the angular rear lights of the same LED-type, more expressive spoiler. What makes the aerodynamic characteristics of the car have increased somewhat. In the A6 saloon you will find some new material, a bit more chrome and advanced multimedia interface (MMI), which is a standard, though quite difficult parts for automobiles in its class. 2009 Audi A6 is a very spacious and comfortable car with a progressive and ergonomic structure, but it can also seem a bit harsh and unfriendly, depending on the level of its bundle.
