The A6 is offered in two models: the FrontTrak 2.0T Premium and the quattro 3.0 Premium. FrontTrak models are outfitted with a 211-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired with a Multitronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), while quattro models get a 300-hp 3.0-liter supercharged V6, mated to a new eight-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual mode; both engines feature FSI direct gasoline injection. New for 2012, an electromechanical steering system and Audi Drive Select program augment efficiency and handling. Standard equipment includes a power sunroof, 17-inch aluminum wheels, three-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, satellite radio and an Audi Music Interface. A Premium Plus package is available for both models, featuring 18-inch aluminum wheels, Xenon plus headlights with LED daytime running lamps, HD radio and Audi Connect with internet access, along with a MMI navigation plus system featuring extended functionality, including touchpad control, real-time traffic information and internal memory for digital media storage. Safety features include electronic stability and traction control systems, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with brake assist, active anti-whiplash front head restraints and six airbags; rear side-impact airbags, front/rear parking sensors and an Audi Side Assist blind spot monitor are optional. The Audi pre sense collision mitigation system is standard on every A6 for 2012; night vision assist, adaptive cruise control, LED headlights and a head-up display are also available.
Major changes included: The A6, in its third generation, is available in 4 trims: 3.2 FrontTrak Sedan, 3.0 quattro Sedan, 4.2 quattro Sedan and 3.0 quattro Avant. All engines in the A6 lineup are now equipped with FSI direct gasoline injection. A six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic manual mode is standard on the quattro all-wheel drive Sedan. Later models, namely 2009-and-up, received a face-lift in the form of new front and rear fascias.
