About the Audi A6 C7
The C7-generation Audi A6 facelift introduced the 'Ultra' sub-brand, specifically engineered to maximise fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions for the fleet market. Powered by a refined 190 PS 2.0-litre TDI engine, it features longer gear ratios and aerodynamic tweaks to achieve over 60 mpg on the combined cycle. While front-wheel drive and comfort-oriented suspension prioritise motorway refinement over agility, the interior remains a benchmark for the era with its high-quality materials and pop-up MMI screen. It represents the peak of the traditional diesel executive saloon before the industry's shift toward electrification.
