The 2010 Audi A6 3.2 gets slightly more power, while other versions of this premium midsize car are largely unchanged. A6 is offered as a sedan or Avant wagon. The base car is the front-wheel-drive 3.2 sedan. It has a 265-horsepower 3.2-liter V6, an increase of 10 horsepower from 2009. It teams with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that behaves much like an automatic.
All other A6 versions reprise Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive and 6-speed automatic transmission. The 3.0T quattro is available as a sedan or wagon. It has a supercharged 300-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. The 4.2 quattro is a sedan with a 350-horsepower 4.2-liter V8. At the top of the A6 roster is the sporty S6 sedan, which has a 435-horsepower 5.2-liter V10.
Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front- and rear-side airbags. All A6 models have Audi’s MMI control that uses a console knob and switches, and a dashboard screen to adjust audio, climate, and other functions. A navigation system and keyless access/engine start are available.
