2010 Audi A6 news, pictures, and information

Audi continues to improve its class-leading A6 sedan with the addition of a new, more powerful 3.2 FSI V6 engine upgraded with the Audi Valvelift System (AVS). The 265 horsepower engine complements the level of functional luxury present throughout the A6, and takes its place alongside the supercharged 3.0 TFSI and 4.2 FSI V8 engines to offer buyers a versatile array of powertrain choices.

Also for 2010, new Sport Packages sharpen the performance character of the A6 with lowered sport suspension, sport steering wheel and either all-season 18' or performance 19' tires. The 2010 Audi A6 capitalizes on the most successful of attributes of Audi design. For the first time, daytime running lights are standard on halogen-equipped cars.

Inside, buyers are treated to a new level of functionality and comfort. When equipped with an optional cold weather package, the A6 now comes with a heated steering wheel with shift paddles.

Avant named 'Executive Station Wagon'

- Audi is the readers' first choice in the trade publications Deutsche Handwerks Zeitung and Handwerk Magazin
- Audi A4 Avant and Audi A6 Avant are the 'Executive Station Wagons of 2009'
- Readers impressed by sporty design and range of functions

INGOLSTADT, Germany, Mar 28, 2009 - Audi is the preferred car maker among builders and trade contractors in Germany. The brand was the readers' first choice in both categories for a German-made 'Executive Station Wagon of 2009', as surveyed in the trade publications Deutsche Handwerks Zeitung and Handwerk Magazin. While the Audi A4 Avant took the laurels in the standard-size category, the Audi A6 Avant prevailed in the full-size category. Altogether 29 station wagon models were considered.

Sporty and dynamic design, combined with high utility: the Avant concept so impressed participants in the readers' survey that it was elected 'Executive Station Wagon of 2009'. Over 80 per cent of the participants stated that they used their station wagons for both private and business purposes. Thanking the readers, Markus Siebrecht, AUDI AG General Sales Manager for the Region East, noted: 'As small-business owners in the trade sector, these customers place an especially wide range of demands on their company cars. This makes us especially pleased that they picked Audi'. Siebrecht accepted the awards on the weekend during the International Automobile Show (AMI) in Leipzig, Germany.

The Audi A6 Avant has now achieved its second victory in a row, having led business station wagons in the contest for 'Executive Station Wagon of 2007' in the last survey. This year the A6 Avant set itself even further apart from the competition: one out of every two participants voted for the premium model from Ingolstadt in the full-size category.

With its top position in the standard-size category, the Audi A4 Avant completed the success of the brand with the four rings.

AUDI AG sold a total of 1,003,469 cars in 2008 and thus achieved its 13th consecutive record year. The Company posted new record figures with revenue of €34.2 billion and profit before tax of €3.2 billion. Audi produces vehicles in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm (Germany), Györ (Hungary), Changchun (China) and Brussels (Belgium). Aurangabad in India saw the start of CKD production of the Audi A6 at the end of 2007 and of the Audi A4 in early October 2008. The Company is active in more than 100 markets worldwide. AUDI AG's wholly owned subsidiaries include Automobili Lamborghini Holding S.p.A. in Sant'Agata Bolognese (Italy) and quattro GmbH in Neckarsulm. Audi currently employs around 58,500 people worldwide, including 46,500 in Germany. The brand with the four rings invests around €2 billion each year in order to sustain the company's technological lead embodied in its 'Vorsprung durch Technik' slogan. Audi plans to significantly increase the number of models in its portfolio by 2015 to 40. The AUDI brand celebrates its 100th birthday in 2009. The company was founded by August Horch in Zwickau on July 16, 1909; he named it AUDI after the Latin translation of his surname ('hark!').
