2014 Audi A6 review

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.
