Overview
The 2011 Audi A6 Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $45,200. For that price, it mainly competes with the BMW 5 Series Sedan, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan, and the Cadillac CTS Sedan. Between 3 trims, the A6 offers 3 powertrains. The base engine is a 3.2L V6 engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission making 265 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 300 horsepower-making 3.0L supercharged V6 engine that comes mated to the 6-speed automatic transmission. Finally, there is a 4.2L V8 engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission on offer that outputs 350 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. The A6 reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6 seconds with the 4.2L V8 engine. The 3.0L supercharged V6 engine achieves the same feat in 5.1 seconds. Depending on the powertrain, the A6 can manage a combined fuel economy of between 19 and 24 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the A6 comes in really pull you towards itself.
