The 2019 Audi A6 has got an umpteen number of changes inside out and it is a whole new car. The styling looks noticeably sportier and modern while the cabin also oozes of a lot of premiumness. The new A6 also gets a lot more features than the outgoing model.
The new Audi A6 gets 37 driver assistance systems which have been packed into various modes like Park Assist, Tour Assist and City Assist. It also gets Audi’s Virtual Cockpit, MMI Plus, and a lot more.
Also, Audi dealers have now started taking bookings for the new A8. Just like the A6, even the A8 gets a thorough makeover on the outside as well as inside. The design looks modern and sharp now while the cabin also looks and feels very distinctive.
While the powertrains haven’t been confirmed officially, it is likely that the engines available globally will be offered with both the models. There will be a 3.0-litre V6 petrol mill churning out 340 HP and 500 Nm while diesel buyers will get a 3.0-litre engine too, producing 286 HP and 600 Nm. The petrol engine will get a 7-speed S-Tronic gearbox while the oil-burner will get an 8-speed AT.
