Today, I am happy to share with you my experience with the Audi A6, a car that many car enthusiasts love. This car is powered by a 3-liter straight-six engine and promises sports car-like thrills. To test it, I embarked on a 700-kilometer journey to evaluate its fuel efficiency and overall comfort. Our starting point was the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.
Set off
The Audi A6 I was driving had only 3,762 km on the mileage and was almost new. After a cold start and a short warm-up, I filled up the tank. Although the tank was full, I wanted to make sure the measurements for the test were accurate. A full tank gives a range of 548 km, which means there are about 58-59 liters of gasoline in the tank.
Hitting the Road
When we reached the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, the weather was nice with occasional drizzles, though pollution was quite noticeable in Gurgaon. At the first toll booth, we encountered a minor issue: the fast lane for cars did not work manually, causing a short delay. Once the issue was resolved, we continued our journey without incident.
The Audi A6 is equipped with low-profile tires and minimal suspension travel, which provide excellent stability and a thrilling driving experience. However, the low ground clearance requires careful driving to avoid obstacles. On the highway, the car glides effortlessly with the cruise control set to 118 km/h.
Driving Experience
Despite the occasional rain, the Audi A6 still handles the road very well. The low ground clearance is a potential problem, but it does not affect its performance over potholes and speed bumps. Compared with its direct competitor, the C43 AG, the Audi A6 stands out with its excellent stability and performance.
My goal is to get about 600 km on a tank of gas at a steady speed. The car feels like an electric car – quiet and smooth. Even at 120-140 km/h, it responds quickly, making driving enjoyable and exciting.
Arrival at destination
After about 550 kilometers, we adjusted our route to avoid rough roads. The car’s range showed 158 kilometers left, just enough to get us to the next gas station. The user-friendly display and controls, plus the comfortable front seat space, enhance the driving experience.
When we arrived at our destination, the odometer showed 4,512 km and the journey was 780 km. We used 57 liters of fuel, which calculated to be 13.6 km per liter, slightly less than the 13.8 km per liter shown by the car.
in conclusion
The Audi A6 exceeded expectations by achieving 13.6 km per litre on this long trip. It strikes a perfect balance between power and efficiency thanks to its 3-litre straight-six engine. The headlights perform well and the car handles admirably on Indian roads thanks to a well-tuned suspension and good ground clearance.
While the Audi A6 may lack some interior features compared to the C43, it makes up for it with a powerful engine and a comfortable cruising experience. Whether driving alone or with the family, this car will consistently deliver double-digit mileage when driven properly.
Overall, the Audi A6 is a great choice for long-distance travel. If you liked this review, please like and share it. Stay tuned for more in-depth reviews and insights.
