Overview
The 2012 Audi A6 Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $41,700. 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 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission making 211 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 310 horsepower-making 3.0L supercharged V6 engine that comes mated to the 8-speed automatic transmission. The A6 reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.4 seconds on its base engine, with the CVT transmission which gets pumped up to 7.5 seconds with the 8-speed automatic while the 3.0L engine achieves the same feat in 5.2 seconds. Depending on the powertrain, the A6 can manage a combined fuel economy of between 22 and 28 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 12 striking colors the A6 comes in really pull you towards itself.
