5 reasons to buy the 2014 Audi A6

1. Fuel-sipping performance

The 2014 Audi A6 2.0T is powered by a base turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine delivering 220 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive and a continuously variable transmission are standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. The 2014 A6 is easy on gas, with an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined when equipped with FWD.

 If you're looking to go farther between fill-ups, the available turbocharged 3.0L diesel V6 engine gets an EPA-estimated 29 mpg combined with standard all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
 This option also delivers more power, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque for extra driving fun.

2. Powerful V6 engine

If you're looking for a sports sedan with potent acceleration, the 2014 Audi A6 might just be the car you're looking for. The 2014 A6 supercharged 3.0L V6 engine is fast off the line, with a zero to 60 mph time of 5.3 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new). Offering 310 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, the supercharged 3.0L V6 engine has the muscle of a V8, but with better gas mileage—it returns an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined.

 All-wheel drive comes standard, along with an eight-speed automatic transmission with quick shifting dynamics when you need a punch of power.

3. Sporty handling

A cornerstone of the 2014 Audi A6 is its athletic handling, which makes this sports sedan extremely fun to drive. Whether commuting to the office or taking the scenic route home, you'll love how the A6 accepts driver inputs with its responsive steering system. This model also boasts four modes—comfort, dynamic, auto, and individual—that adjust the vehicle's steering, throttle response, and transmission shift characteristics for a customized ride. Changing weather and terrain are no match for the 2014 Audi A6 with available Quattro® all-wheel drive, which provides enhanced grip in challenging conditions.

4. Classy interior

Travel in comfort and style in the 2014 Audi A6. This sports sedan includes numerous base-level features, like plush leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, and driver's seat memory functions. Decorative interior inlays and aluminum door sill inlays add a premium touch, while a sunroof and ambient LED interior lighting illuminate the cabin. Premium and Premium Plus trims of the 2014 A6 also include eight-way power front seats and four-way power lumbar adjustment for the driver. Upgrading to the Prestige trim adds 12-way power front seats for even more customization.

5. Plenty of tech
