Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs for Audi - A6 Avant (C9)

It has a 2.0-liter TFSI (Turbocharged Fuel Stratified injection) gasoline engine combined with an electric motor to form the hybrid system.

'Quattro ultra' refers to the advanced all-wheel drive system optimized for efficiency and dynamic performance, particularly beneficial in the e-hybrid configuration.

The standard specification includes 5 seats.

'Quattro Ultra' refers to Audi's advanced all-wheel drive system, optimized for maximum efficiency and dynamic handling. It ensures optimal power distribution across all four wheels.

This is classified as an 'e-hybrid'. Unlike plug-in hybrids that can be charged externally, the A6 Avant's battery is primarily charged through regenerative braking and requires no external charging.

The top speed is electronically limited as a standard feature for this model. This limitation helps optimize fuel efficiency, reduce emissions at high speeds, and potentially lower component costs compared to models with no artificial top speed restriction.

It has a 2.0-litre TFSI (Turbocharged Fuel Stratified Injection) petrol engine combined with an electric motor, making it a plug-in hybrid.

Yes, 'quattro ultra' refers to Audi's advanced intelligent all-wheel drive system specifically designed for this e-hybrid model. It optimizes power distribution electronically and dynamically based on driving conditions.

The 299 Hp output is achieved by combining a 2.0 TFSI engine with electric motors. The S tronic transmission manages both power sources, allowing for smooth transitions between pure electric and combustion drive modes.

This is a full Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). The system power of 299 Hp includes both the combustion engine and electric motor, allowing for significant all-electric driving range.

Yes. The 'quattro ultra' designation means that even when operating purely on electric power, the system uses an electrically controlled clutch to distribute torque between the front wheels (or potentially engage rear wheels via a secondary mechanism), providing AWD functionality.

The car has both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The engine itself produces 252 horsepower, but when combined with the electric motor's torque (converted to equivalent horsepower), the total system output reaches approximately 299 horsepower.

The four-wheel steering (4WS) improves agility at low speeds and stability at high speeds by allowing the rear wheels to steer in coordination with the front wheels.

Electric Power Steering (EPS) provides smoother, more responsive steering without hydraulic fluid-related issues. It adjusts assistance based on speed and steering angle for optimal control.

S tronic refers to Audi's dual-clutch automatic transmission system (in this case 7-speed) designed specifically for sporty driving, offering quick shifts and smooth operation typical of an 'ultra' designation.

Gross battery capacity refers to the total energy stored in the battery, while net usable battery capacity (20.7 kWh) indicates how much of that energy can actually be used by the vehicle's electrical systems.

The A6 Avant e-hybrid uses a lithium-ion battery located under the trunk (25.9 kWh gross / 20.7 kWh net) and an electric motor rated at 143 Hp and 350 Nm torque, powered by SAE J3068 type 2 AC charging.

'Quattro ultra' refers to Audi's advanced all-wheel drive system that intelligently manages power distribution between the combustion engine and electric motors for optimized traction, efficiency, and dynamic handling.

The permitted trailer load with brakes (12% distribution) is up to 2000 kg, making it well-suited for towing trailers.

While specific figures aren't here, the e-hybrid designation typically aims for better real-world fuel efficiency than its non-hybrid counterpart by recovering energy during braking. However, performance characteristics like acceleration and top speed are usually similar or slightly enhanced.

Yes, the Audi A6 Avant inherently has more trunk space due to its liftback design. The C9 generation further enhances this with figures ranging from 404 liters minimum up to an impressive 1423 liters maximum.
