Audi Australia has added a new variant to its A6 range. The A6 is now available with a 2.0 TFSI engine, in both sedan and Avant variants.

With 125 kW and 280 Nm, the A6 2.0 TFSI is a strong, yet fuel efficient performer with average consumption of 8.5 litres per 100kms thanks to its direct fuel injection engine and turbocharger. The A6 2.0 TFSI is capable of travelling around 820 kilometres on a single tank of fuel.

The A6 2.0 TFSI sedan completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds.

Priced at $75,900 (RRP) for the sedan and $79,700 (RRP) for the Avant model, this newest A6 addition is expected to find favour with Australian luxury car buyers.

Audi's managing director, Joerg Hofmann, says the A6 2.0 TFSI is a highly-attractive package which will sell strongly in Australia.

"With an award-winning and very sporty engine, yet achieving fuel efficiency at the same time, the performance of this vehicle highlights the successful marriage of two seemingly opposite concepts. In the current climate of rising fuel prices, this feature of the new A6 variant will prove popular with our customers," Mr Hofmann said.

The popular 2.0 TFSI engine is also available on the A3 Sportback, A4 and new TT models.

Boasting a high level of standard specification as befitting the A6 model range, the 2.0 TFSI features high levels of active and passive safety thanks to 8 airbags, ESP, ABS electronic brake force distribution and Brake Assist.

The latest multitronic CVT transmission with 7 pre-defined ratios is standard for sedan and Avant and the vehicle also features servotronic speed sensitive power steering.

Leather upholstery, woodgrain trim, CD changer, electric windows, acoustic rear parking sensors, split-fold rear seats, auto-dimming interior mirror with a light and rain sensor plus multi-function steering wheel are all standard equipment.
