2010 Audi A6 Review

The base engine of the 2010 Audi A6 3.0 quattro Sedan is a 3.0L supercharged, intercooled V6 with a DOHC valvetrain. It generates 300 horses at 5100 RPMs and is mated to the stock 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Also available is the popular 3.2L 265hp 243 lb-ft V6-equipped 3.2 FrontTrak Sedan with the Audi Multitronic CVT (continuously variable transmission). And for those that demand top performance, there's the 4.2L DOHC V8 that makes 350 big horses and generates 325 lb-ft of torque. All powertrain choices include the FSI direct fuel injection system as well.

The 2010 A6 from Audi continues to develop its dynamic legacy based on nearly-unmatched levels comfort, detail, technology and of course, power. The new A6 is a 4-door sedan that has the bulk necessary to keep its ready strength balanced and controlled. It centers its 4123-pound curb weight very well on its 111.9-inch wheelsbase. Exterior measurements are reported at 193.5 x 73.0 x 57.4 inches in length, width and height. With standard seating for 5 occupants, there's loads of interior spaciousness as well. In fact, front occupants will be treated to:

• 38 inches of head room;
• 57 inches of shoulder room;
• 41.3 inches of leg room;
• 15.9 cubic feet of luggage capacity;

Standard equipment on every 2010 A6 Audi includes, but is definitely not limited to:

• Powered sunroof;
• 17-inch wheels;
• 2-zoned auto climate control;
• Leather upholstery;
• Bluetooth;
• Satellite Radio;
• Voice-activated navigation;
• Audi Music Interface;

Everything is very well done with great attention to detail on the inside of the Audi A6 2010. Engineering standards are set high for all Audis. Lines are tight. Cabin quietness is superior. Materials are high class. In general, only a most-seriously-picky person would gripe too much about the A6 in any way. Elegance, style, comfort, safety, technology, power; what more could you want.

Stock features for safety on the 2010 Audi A6 include electronic stability/traction control, bi-xenon adaptive headlights, front/side/curtain airbags, integrated rear parking assist camera, Audi Side Assist and much more. In fact, competitors including the Jaguar XF, Acura RL, BMW 528 and the Cadillac CTS have a very tough time matching the A6's overall blend of excellence on any level. Although few changes of note have been implemented this year, the A6 is still loaded with amenities that few vehicles on the planet offer, especially in a vehicle with a price tag under $50,000.
