Lightweight construction
From the earliest stages of its design, we looked for
ways to save energy in the Audi A6 Saloon. It’s why
every component has been optimised for greater
agility, improved efficiency and more driving pleasure.
In fact, thanks to its hybrid aluminium construction,
this advanced model is now 15% lighter than a
conventional steel vehicle.
Efficiency programmes
The Driver’s Information System in the Audi A6 Saloon
comes as standard with an innovative efficiency
programme, which offers advice on improving fuel
economy as you drive. Also, via the standard Audi drive
select system you can choose a new efficiency setting
which aids you in driving even more economically. For
more details, see page 14.
Automatic Start-Stop function
In heavy traffic, your car still uses fuel and releases
CO
2, even when it’s stationary. The automatic
Start-Stop function counteracts this problem by
switching off the engine when your car comes to a
standstill. As soon as you touch the clutch, the car
restarts. In conjunction with TDI® and TFSI®,
it helps save up to 0.4 litres of fuel every 100km.
