More luxury as standard
All A6 saloon and Avant models ordered now will offer, as standard, the luxury of Buffalino leather upholstery - previously an optional extra costing £1,365.V6 petrol and V6 TDI models are also now equipped as standard with automatic transmission - five-speed tiptronic for the 3.0 quattro and 2.5 TDI quattro (180PS) and six-speed multitronic continuously variable (CVT) for the 2.4 petrol and 2.5 TDI (163PS). The much praised and still unique multitronic transmission has just been upgraded to include a Sport mode that holds each of the six pre-set gear ratios for longer under acceleration to maximise performance. Manual transmission will continue to be available as a no cost option for four and six-cylinder models.
