5 reasons to buy the 2014 Audi S6

1. Refined cabin 

The moment you get inside the 2014 Audi S, you know you're in for a pleasant ride. It has a beautiful cabin with top-level materials and impeccable design. It comes standard with diamond-stitched leather upholstery, heated, power-adjustable front sport seats, and four-zone automatic climate control, among other amenities. These types of features are bound to make you feel as comfortable as possible and enjoy every minute of every trip. 

2. Strong engine 

As far as power is concerned, the 2014 Audi S6 has it in abundance. It comes with a twin-turbocharged, 4.0L V8 engine that’s paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission for a massive 420 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. This is a powertrain that delivers lightning acceleration, going from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. This is racetrack-worthy acceleration — even though racing isn't the first thing coming to mind when you look at the 2014 Audi S6. 

3. Lots of room for cargo 

In addition to being a thrill to drive and ride in it, the 2014 Audi S6 has a useful functionality and practicality aspect to it. A major portion of that goes towards its high cargo capacity. It comes with a 14.1 cu-ft of space in the trunk, which has a wide opening making loading and unloading convenient. There's enough room to fit a large suitcase and a couple of smaller ones, so preparing for family vacations or other long trips shouldn’t be a problem. Split-folding rear seats are standard, further increasing the total room for storage. 

4. Plenty of tech features 

For an even more enjoyable ride, the 2014 Audi S6 is equipped with a series of features ensuring better connectivity, entertainment, and more comfort overall. There is the standard Audi MMI infotainment system with an eight-inch display, along with iPod connectivity, a navigation system and Bluetooth® connectivity.  Additionally, it comes standard with driver memory settings, four-zone automatic climate control and a 14-speaker premium audio system. 

5. Good gas mileage 

Even with the hefty engine under the hood, the 2014 Audi S6 still returns satisfactory gas mileage. With the 4.0L V8 engine, the S6 gets an EPA-estimated 20 mpg combined, which is a good figure considering its size and performance capabilities.

Innovative features such as cylinder deactivation and a start-stop system help the 2014 Audi S6 with its balanced performance.
