The 2019 Audi A6 shares a lot of design clues from its elder brother the latest gen A8. The 2019 A6 has grown in proportion as compared to the current one, It is now 7 mm longer, 2 mm taller and 12 mm wider, while the wheelbase too has also been increased by 12 mm and now measures 2924 mm.
On the outside the huge Audi family grill looks very prominent along with the all new design headlights, all new bumpers and smart looking LED tail lamps that extend the width of the car. The rear gets an all new design bumper that comes with twin exhausts and reflector strips on them. New design alloys are also seen on the test mule. The A6 looks a lot smarter and very trendy in this all new avatar.
On the inside the 2019 A6 gets a dual screen setup as the infotainment screen that is a 10.1-inches in size and another 8.6 inch screen under it that replaces the conventional control buttons for the climate control etc. You also gets the 12.3-inch Audi virtual cockpit along with a heads-up display on the package making the dash appear extremely futuristic.
In terms of engine options the A6 will come with a 3.0L V6 Turbocharged Petrol and Diesel options. The petrol version would be the 55 TFSI and the diesel would be badged as 40 TDi. The petrol 3.0L V6 produces 340PS of power and 500 Nm of torque. The 3.0L diesel 40 TDI, on the other hand makes 286PS of power and 620Nm of torque. Audi may also get New A6 with a mild-hybrid system like its overseas version as standard. This system includes a small lithium-ion battery that will store regenerated energy and make use of it while coasting.
