Exceeding the dimensions of the class
A6 in the current body has been produced for more than two years and is often found both on the streets and on the pages of magazines. But this machine can apply for great freshness than the one that was originally offered for the Russian market. The medium -sized V6 motor was supplied to us the previous three -liter. And only then Audi dared to introduce us to the 3.2 FSI package for thirty forces more powerful, but more economical.
 
A6 surpasses rivals in external dimensions, but also noticeably spacious in the cabin. There are no competitors here for any of the indicators. All five riders will be satisfied, including landing/landing.
 
From the point of view of accelerated dynamics, the six hills the feeling that it is accelerating more slowly than in fact. You look at the speedometer arrow and doubt it, is there flattening a car here? The reason is high acoustic comfort and, no less important, the stable position of the car over the road. In braking and a sharp turn, the same effect of the cloaks with the nose and rolls is almost no. In this regard, the Audi leader of the test. And this despite the fact that the suspension is on this the specific machine is ordinary, spring (as an option is also pneumatic, borrowed from A8).
 
With the smoothness, the picture is not so unambiguous. Despite the large passages of the suspension adapted to Russia, small irregularities are willingly and sensitively transmitted to the body. A6 is a kind Princess on a pea: shudders even from small road seams. But large and medium obstacles the car swallows without choked! Such a character.
 
Quattro clings to the road, as it should be, excellent. The steering wheel is accurate, despite its lightness and a weak reverse reaction. And the algorithm for entering the turn on all cars of the company has long been known to fans of the brand. If you stupidly perform the maneuver, carry your nose past and go to a large arc like front -wheel drivers. Therefore, you have to either throw heavy before a little earlier than you need to adjust the displacement, or make a couple of preliminary rocks with a steering wheel to provocate the drift.
 
From the point of view of ergonomics, A6 is impeccable. You get behind the wheel and you understand at home. Each button is calculated by location and algorithm of use. The quality of the materials pleases the eye and hand and does not claim extraordinarity. The commander of the MMI system, although it requires some addiction, is mastered quickly, because not all functions of the menu are displayed on its handle with separate buttons. The chairs are most universal and unobtrusive for people of various complexions. With visibility is also order.

DESIGN
Fluids of innate intelligence simply come from this car. Moreover, you will not compare with anyone, the appearance of competitors remains in a hopeless loss. The face forms a historical thoroughbred radiator cladding. In it is all in moderation: greatness and calmness in the gaze of headlights, and even chrome. The silhouette of a three -optic body honestly informs about its class and purpose. The pattern of the threshold can do without exalted expression and, of course, conveys the dynamics of motion both the bumper and the lines that draw the rear lights. An alien details do not find everything harmoniously and amazingly looks not boring. Inside, the brand is also determined easily and accurately. From the steering wheel, on the central pillow of which there is a repeater of the shield of the Audi radiator facing, until the nobility and persuasiveness of the lines, which the boomerang of the instrument panel is painted. Also good finishing materials are almost the standard of measure and a successful combination of skin, wood and silver metal.
