Following last year's addition of a 2.0TFSI four-cylinder model to the A6 line, that motor gains nine horsepower for 2014, for a total of 220. Even more newsworthy is the newly-available 3.0L TDI diesel engine option. Its 240 hp doesn't seem like much of a move up from the four-cylinder, but 428 lb-ft of torque sure does. Carried over from last year are the 3.0T trim's 310-hp supercharged V6, and the S6's 420-hp, turbocharged 4.0L V8.
2.0T Progressiv models come with 18-inch wheels, aluminum inlays, Xenon headlights, sunroof, power trunk with movement-activated function, auto-dimming heated outside mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, four-spoke leather-trimmed and heated multifunction steering wheel with electric tilt and telescope, leather seats, eight-way power front seats with adjustable driver lumbar and memory, front and rear seat warmers, auto-dimming inside mirror, 10-speaker stereo with MMI control, satellite radio, Bluetooth, music interface, colour driver information display, intelligent keyless entry, cruise control and Audi drive select.
