Years of production: 1997-2004The debut of the second generation Audi A6 took place in 1997. The Audi A6 C5 platform was used as its basis. This generation had two body styles: Avant station wagon and sedan. Both versions demonstrated a very low drag coefficient of 0.28. Full galvanization of the body, an expanded set of safety elements, and an extensive range of engines have brought this model to a completely new competitive level: in 2000-2001 it entered the top ten best cars cars of the world.
Audi 100 C4/4ANot produced
years of production from 1991 - 1997In 1991, a significantly revised version of the C4 was introduced. Among her key changes It is worth highlighting the introduction of power units with a capacity of 2.8 liters and 2.6 liters. In 1995, the number “100” was removed from the model name, and it received the name Audi A6 C4. Cars in design Audi models 100 were produced until 1997, then they were completely replaced by designer Audi solutions A6.
Audi 100 and 200 C3Not produced
years of production from 1982 - 1991In 1982, as part of Frankfurt Motor Show automotive community The C3 model was presented, the body of which had an extremely low aerodynamic coefficient Cx = 0.30 for that time. This solution ultimately provided significant fuel savings. Another innovation was the use of flush windows (recessed windows), which also had an impact on the parameters aerodynamic drag. In 1990, this model received an innovative diesel power unit with direct injection. With a performance of 120 hp. this motor demonstrated reduced fuel consumption.
Since 1984, the model began to be equipped with a system all-wheel drive Quattro. In September 1985, the first modifications of the C3 with a fully galvanized body appeared. In the late 1980s, the Audi V8 version was introduced to the market. The basis for it was the modification of the Audi 200 Quattro (with an automatic 4-band transmission, rear and central Torsen differential).
Audi 100 and 200 C2Not produced
years of production from 1977 - 1983
The C2 model was launched in 1976. It is characterized by an extended wheelbase, a more refined interior design than the C1 model, and a 5-cylinder engine. As part of this generation, a station wagon version of the Avant was released in 1977. During the 1980 restyling, the car's exterior was updated (the shape of the rear lights was changed), the luggage compartment capacity was increased to 470 liters, the interior was improved, motor range 4-cylinder engines of various sizes and performance were introduced. In 1981, the line was supplemented with a CS version, featuring a front spoiler and alloy wheels.
Audi 100 and 200 C1Not produced
years of production from 1968 - 1976
Production Audi cars The 100 C1 sedan, which the company launched on November 1, 1968, became the basis for the model's modern success. The Audi 200 variant was the same modification of the Audi 100, but in a more expensive version (it had improved finishing and richer basic equipment).
Since 1970, C1 cars have also been produced as a coupe. This version was the largest vehicle of the automobile company Audi since its inception. In 1973, the car was restyled: the radiator grille became more compact, steel springs appeared instead of the rear torsion bar, and the shape of the rear optics changed. As a result, the car began to look more current and stylish. This model was equipped with a 4-cylinder power unit, working in conjunction with rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission.
Audi A6 / Audi A6
Introduced in 2018, the fifth generation of the Audi A6 (index C8) retains the unchanged dynamic image characteristic of Ingolstadt sedans. In terms of dimensions, the new generation “A-sixth” adheres to the previous framework - the changes are purely symbolic (+ 6 mm in length, 2 mm in width and height, the wheelbase has been additionally stretched by 12 mm, the luggage compartment remains unchanged - 530 l) . The platform on the Audi A6 is the modular MLB EVO with a 2-lever layout at the front and a 5-lever at the rear. The engineers made the body more rigid; it is still based on steel and aluminum components. Continuity in design is obvious. Only the front lighting equipment, rear parking lights and bumpers, many other styling solutions are reminiscent of previous generation premium sedan.
New generation of business Audi sedan The A6 has surpassed its predecessor in terms of electronic innovation and equipment. The interior bears similarities with the previously shown Audi A7 Sportback image car. Key roles in controlling the main functions of the car are assigned to touch-controlled displays (a 10.1-inch multimedia system screen located below the 8.6-inch climate system touchscreen), and conventional buttons are kept to a minimum. In addition, instead of a traditional analog instrument panel, a virtual cockpit with a 12.3-inch high-resolution display can be installed (optional). All power plants The Audi A6 uses Mild Hybrid micro-hybrid technology, which uses a combined starter-generator to improve driving dynamics and fuel economy. In addition, with the help of such a system, the car is able to completely turn off the engine when releasing the gas at speeds of 55 km per hour, while all on-board electronics are powered by a lithium-ion battery.
In our country, the Audi A6 business sedan is offered to customers in 4 equipment lines: basic, Advance, Design and Sport. The standard version of the model is equipped by default with LED headlights, R18 alloy wheels, heat-insulating glazing, front seats with manual adjustments and heated, auto-dimming interior mirror, 2-zone air conditioning system, MMI Radio plus media system, Audi sound system music. In the Advance line you can get electrically adjustable seats with lumbar support, combined leather interior trim, and a rear view camera. The Design version can be externally identified by a special radiator grille, a chrome exterior trim package and exclusive multi-spoke wheels; in terms of equipment, this version is identical to the previous one. Features of the Sport line include highly supportive sports seats, Alcantara and leather upholstery, and sporty exterior accents. Scroll available options includes HD Matrix headlights, a special phone box (wireless charging, USB, antenna), climate control for 4 interior zones, ventilated seats, a navigation system with a color display, Bang & Olufsen premium music, driver assistance systems Pre sense basic and front, night vision function.
In 1997, spring came and Audi released new body for the Audi A6 C5, they were already sold in sedan and station wagon (Avant) body styles. In the new version, of course, the design was changed, but the silhouette and style of the car’s “face” remained similar to all other Audi models, for example, the Audi A4. The design was also redesigned in such a way that the aerodynamics of the car improved and as a result the model became a serious competitor to the Mercedes-Benz E and BMW 5. A few years later, one of the automobile magazines included this sedan in the list of the 10 best cars in 2000.
Starting with this model, the famous sports version appeared, which was called the Audi S6.
Regarding the body, the company decided to do everything ideally and galvanized it, thanks to which it did not rust; the manufacturer, well aware of this, gave the buyer a 10-year warranty on the body.
Exterior
At the front, the sedan received large optics with a lens inside, but in general with a halogen filling. There is a long hood with fairly strong reliefs as wide as the radiator grille. The radiator grille, in turn, has a chrome surround around it. The model's massive bumper also has chrome trim in some places, as well as round fog lights.
The side of the car has really muscular arch shapes and a small aerodynamic line at the top. The shape of the body has also changed, it has become smoother.
The rear part also has a smooth shape; optics of a different shape with a good design are used. The smooth, large trunk lid essentially has nothing interesting except a chrome insert at the bottom. The rear bumper has a huge plastic insert and essentially nothing else.
Dimensions:
- length – 4.796 m;
- width – 1.810 m;
- height – 1.453 m;
- wheelbase– 2.760 m;
- ground clearance – 0.120 m.

The car's suspension is made entirely of aluminum, which slightly reduces reliability, but reduces the weight of the car. The model has a completely independent system, a multi-link system is installed in front, this is a stabilizer lateral stability and 4 levers for each wheel. A multi-link system is also used at the rear.
Boxes Audi gears The manufacturer offered different A6 C5 (1997-2004), there are both manuals with 5 or 6 steps, and a 5-speed automatic, and there were also CVTs on some versions. The car has front-wheel drive in most trim levels, but there were also quattro all-wheel drive versions.
Salon
Unfortunately, the interior of the car has not changed much, but there are still some differences. In front there are good leather seats with heating and slight lateral support. Back row I got a sofa for three passengers. In the middle at the bottom there are retractable cup holders. There is also an armrest with niches for small items. There is enough space both front and rear.
The steering column is a 4-spoke steering wheel with adjustment for both height and reach. Instrument panel – 4 small analog gauges and two large speedometer and tachometer. There is also an on-board computer with some information about the car.
The center console has a button at the top alarm and one cup holder that extends at the touch of a button. Below is head unit, working on cassettes, these radios have long been replaced with more modern ones. The control unit for 2-zone climate control has heated seat controls, three monitors and many buttons for settings.
The tunnel is essentially simple, but most of it is made of wood. There is a niche for small items and a large gear selector. Next, the wood ends and plastic begins, on which the rear-view mirror adjustment selector is located. In the same area there is a parking brake lever and an armrest. The trunk has remained virtually unchanged, its volume is 551 liters.
Price
This car can be purchased without any problems at secondary market, Where average price equal to 300,000 rubles, there are more expensive options, there are cheaper ones, as you understand, it all depends on the condition and configuration.
Whether to purchase this model or not is up to you. In principle, the Audi A6 C5 is good sedan, but it is already a little old and despite the fact that it is reliable, due to age it still begins to break a little.

Audi A6 is one of the most popular models company, a car of the upper middle class, successor to the Audi 100.
The production of the C4 model range under the name Audi 100/S4 continued until May 1994, when a radical restyling was carried out and a new index was introduced - A6. The shape of the hood and the design of the radiator grille were changed, and the front direction indicators changed their color from orange to milky white. The rear lights have become wider (the trunk keyhole has even moved to the right one). Updated front and rear bumpers, as well as overhead side moldings along the bottom of the doors.
The Audi A6 is available with a fully galvanized body, with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (quattro), a wide range of gasoline (including double-supercharged) and diesel (direct injection) engines located longitudinally at the front, with manual and automatic transmissions.
The reliable and advanced chassis (factory designation of the platform is C4) remains the same. All representatives of the model Audi series The A6/S6, which lasted three years on the assembly line, is extremely diverse. Since August 1995, a sports all-wheel drive version of the Audi S6 (Q1 -type) appeared. It is distinguished by an additional emblem on the radiator grille, a lowered body position by 20 mm due to a sport-tuned suspension, low-profile tires 225/50 ZR16 and alloy wheels dimensions 7.5J, trimmed with more rigid seats with especially developed lateral support only in leather. The engines were inherited from its predecessor S4: a 230-horsepower 2.2-liter V6 (AAN) and a 290-horsepower 4.2-liter V8 (AVN) from the Audi V8.
The Avant station wagon (in Germany they are called combi), produced since 1991 under the name 100 Avant, continues to be produced in the same form, but under the A6 index. These five-door station wagons are more like hatchbacks with increased useful volume - just for short trips out of town if you don’t have a country trailer. They have many convenient pockets for small things, but long trips No more than four people will be comfortable in the cabin.
But the sedan’s large trunk volume is 510 liters (10 liters more than that of the BMW 7 Series), spacious salon, excellent sound insulation (even after many years of intense use), high power efficiency and the Procon-ten security system are precisely those advantages that give the Audi A6 sedans advantages over other reputable brands. Let's add to the above the calmer image of the Audi brand, which is appreciated by many wealthy people who are disgusted by the very cool image of BMW.
From its predecessor, the A6 inherited a wide range of economical, high-power-to-weight ratio and dynamic petrol and diesel engines, the most popular of which were petrol V-6s, which accounted for more than half of new car sales. They abandoned only the outdated engines: petrol AAR (2.3 l) and turbodiesel AAS (2.4 l). Since the summer of 1994, the range has been supplemented with several new power units. For a buyer who counts every penny spent on the purchase and operation of a car, options with a 20-valve 1.8-liter 125-horsepower engine are more suitable gasoline engine(ADR) and a 90-horsepower turbodiesel (1Z) with a displacement of 1.9 liters. It is noteworthy that they are equipped with a very successful five-speed manual transmission gears installed on all-wheel drive versions of Quattro. From the same period, the Audi A6 TDI began to be equipped with a new five-cylinder 2.5-liter 140-horsepower turbodiesel (AEC with turbocharging and an intercooler).
October 1995 for Audi, as well as for admirers of the high-speed varieties of these cars, was marked by the appearance of new gasoline 30-valve 2.8-liter 193-horsepower V6 engines (ASC). The maximum speed of the A6 with this engine is 225 km/h (229 km/h for Quattro).
All models of the C4 platform were discontinued in the summer of 1997 in connection with the development of the completely new A6 (4B-type).
The new generation of Audi A6 was first presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1997 (with a sedan body). In February 1998, the A6 Avant station wagon model was introduced.
This series was the first to embody new ideas about Audi's corporate identity. It is no coincidence that the A6 architecture echoes the design of the TT sports model. No one has looked so unusual before production car companies. The car's chassis looks less revolutionary. In addition to the usual front-wheel drive, there is a Quattro modification with permanent drive on all wheels.
The exterior design of the Audi A6 corresponds to Audi cars: a sloping roofline, a massive rear and no protruding bumpers. The new Audi A6 is bigger and looks like a luxury car. The body is completely galvanized.
There are three options interior decoration Advance (“perfection”), Ambition (“ambition”) and Ambiente (“calmness”), which differ in interior design - using fabric and inlaid the dashboard with wood and aluminum. The interior of the Audi A6 station wagon is quite spacious, the number seats increased to seven. The following special additional equipment is offered: a roof rack, a net for it and a dividing net inside the cabin.
The standard equipment of the car includes: side airbags, three head restraints in the rear seat, luggage nets, height and depth adjustable steering wheel, three head restraints in the rear seat, a curtain for luggage, massive eyes for securing cargo, side pockets for a warning triangle and first aid kits, as well as handles for the rear hatch. Cargo compartment increases by folding the asymmetrically divided backrest down onto the seats.
The serial standard model of the Audi A6 Pack received a new optional equipment: a steering wheel in a leather case, a speed controller, an on-board computer and a device that reports the distance to the nearest objects when parking. The Cold Climate Package includes a heated steering wheel.
High driving performance of the car is ensured by: a monocoque body with a front subframe, new suspension(front axle with 4-link suspension, shock-absorbing struts, rear axle with wheel suspension on connected trailing arms, coil springs, anti-roll bar front and rear, telescopic shock absorbers).
Almost all types of new ones are installed on the car Audi engines— from 1.8T l to 4.2 l, including diesel engines 1.9 l biturbo and 2.5 l TDI.
All gasoline engines, starting from a 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 150 hp. and two V-shaped “sixes” with a working volume of 2.4 and 2.8 liters, have five valves per cylinder. In 1998, three new units, known from the A4 series, were added to them. These include a 1.8-liter four-cylinder with 125 hp, a 2.7-liter turbocharged V-6 with 230 hp, and a six-cylinder direct injection turbodiesel with 150 hp. The cars are equipped with a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic transmission with a dynamic DSP program, which takes into account not only the driver’s driving style, but also the grip of the tires on the road. The integrated Tiptronic system allows you to switch to manual control. A four-speed automatic transmission is paired with a 1.9-liter TDI diesel engine.
In the fall of 1999, the Audi S6 was first introduced - a sports modification of the Audi A6 model with a 4.2-V8 engine and all-wheel drive.
In the first half of 2004, the third generation of the Audi A6 went on sale. The sedan was initially presented, a little later the lineup added a station wagon, and in 2005 a sports coupe appeared.
The development of the look was carried out under the leadership of new chief designer Walter De Silva. The appearance of the Audi A6 2004 has undergone significant changes. Most noticeable external element– large trapezoidal radiator grille in the style of the legendary racing cars Auto Union will now be the main design element of the cars from Ingolstadt. The car looks dynamic and “muscular” due to big wheels and convex wheel arches. The car received body panels made of aluminum, which will significantly reduce the weight of the model. In addition, individual elements of the chassis and suspension are made from the same “winged metal”. One of the advantages of the Audi A6 2004 is a spacious, comfortable interior with high-quality finishes. The interior has been thoroughly redesigned. The designers moved away from the traditional cockpit layout: a center console and dashboard visually united. The console is slightly turned towards the driver. The instruments are also unusual - the location is the same, but the speedometer and tachometer lie in two irregularly shaped “wells” along with secondary indicators. There is no usual “handbrake” in the cabin, instead of which an electromechanical one is used parking brake, similar to that used on the Audi A8.
The engine range includes three petrol engines and two turbodiesels. The most powerful A6 will be equipped with a V8 4.2 engine producing 335 hp. Will rise one step lower new engine with direct injection V6 3.2 FSI (255 hp). And the simplest gasoline engine is a 177-horsepower 2.4-liter V6. Diesel engines are also available: a 2.0-liter turbodiesel with a power of 140 horsepower, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel with a power of 225 horsepower, with a maximum torque of 450 Nm.
Diesel engines use the Common Rail system. This system connects the cylinders to a common fuel line high pressure. A constant pressure is created in this high-pressure line, fuel is accumulated and distributed to the injectors. The amount of fuel injected and the injection timing are controlled by the engine control system either using solenoid valves on individual injectors or through piezo injectors. In systems with solenoid valves maximum pressure injection reaches 1800 bar.
Basic versions with 2.0 TDI and 2.4 V6 engines are front-wheel drive with manual gearboxes. Branded all-wheel drive transmission Quattro in combination with an automatic transmission is offered only for the most powerful modifications.
The car received new electronic systems, the most famous of which is MMI (Multi Media Interface). MMI allows you to control the radio using one joystick, navigation system, climate control and other vehicle systems. It is noteworthy that this system included in basic equipment. The basic version is also equipped with automatic climate control, headlight and rain sensors, ESP system, brake-assist system, front and side airbags (6 in total) and active head restraints. As an option you can order adaptive cruise control, DVD navigation system and electronic contactless key. In addition, for an additional fee you can order a sports suspension that is lowered by 20 millimeters.
The third generation Audi A6 quickly gained popularity due to its balanced appearance and combination of speed and power characteristics of the car. After three years, when 234,000 copies of this model were sold, Audi offered updated version"sixes".
The car has become even better than before, maintaining its magnificent appearance and still offering customers a powerful range of engines and a spacious, beautiful interior. Modernization appearance insignificant. The designers slightly changed the shape of the sides and back. There's a new one front bumper, the details of the radiator grille have changed - they visually increase the width of the car. The shape of the headlights and side mirrors has been changed; in addition, the sedan borrowed a pair of LED taillights from Avant station wagon. Minor cosmetic changes have also been made inside.
But the main changes took place under the hood of the car. On average, emissions of harmful gases and fuel consumption of all engines in the series were reduced by 15%, plus even more powerful motors. The already outdated diesel engines were replaced by a range of common rail diesels, first introduced on the A4. Two engines were completely abandoned: the 3.2-liter V6 and 4.2-liter V8 were replaced by an all-new supercharged three-liter engine (286 hp). This engine is not only more powerful than the previous V6 by more than 13%, it has the same amount of torque as the V8 (3.2 liters).
The fourth generation was officially presented in January 2011 at the Detroit Motor Show. Externally, the new product has something in common with latest models brands, in its design one can see like features flagship sedan A8, and the recently presented A7 Sportback. Distinctive Features new items are LED optics and LED taillights, a small spoiler integrated into the trunk lid, two round exhaust pipes and 16-inch alloy wheels. With package S-Line car flaunts 19-inch wheels, a modified front bumper, diffuser and sports suspension.
The length of the fourth generation is 4920 mm, width – 1870 mm, height – 1460 mm, and the wheelbase has been stretched to 2910 mm. The body is mainly made of aluminum and various high-tech types of steel. The interior of the new Audi A6 is in many ways similar to the A7 sportback: the center console is crowned with a retractable 6.5-inch MMI screen, the panel trim is made of aluminum and wood, and for an additional fee the car can be equipped with a 1300-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system, an advanced navigation system, 8-inch touch screen, Internet access and separate rear seats.
Among the basic standard equipment- electronic system ESP stabilization, drive system select, six airbags, dual-zone climate control, alloy wheels, electric drive and heated mirrors, on-board computer, light and rain sensors, adaptive headlights. As an option, you will be offered adjustable air suspension.
Power units for new Audi A6 2011 has five – two petrol and three diesel. The most economical petrol modification called 2.8 FSI is equipped with front-wheel drive. Under the hood is a 2.8-liter 204-horsepower engine, which is equipped only with a Multitronic CVT. The maximum speed of the Audi A6 2.8 FSI sedan is 240 km/h. Acceleration from zero to hundreds will take 7.7 seconds. Average gasoline consumption is 7.4 liters per 100 km. CO2 emissions at 172 g/km. The second engine is a turbocharged 3.0 TFSI V6 with a power of 300 hp. and a torque of 440 Nm. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h will occur in 5.5 seconds, with a maximum speed of 250 km/h. Average fuel consumption is 8.2 liters. per 100 km.
The weakest of the diesel engines is the updated four-cylinder 2.0 TDI with 177 hp. and a torque of 380 Nm. Paired with a manual gearbox, the engine accelerates the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.7 seconds, with a top speed of 228 km/h. and average fuel consumption per 100 km - 4.9 liters. CO2 emissions are just 129 g/km. The middle position in diesel engines was occupied by the 3.0 TDI V6, with 204 hp. and a torque of 400 Nm. Paired with the Multitronic gearbox, the engine accelerates the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.2 seconds. Maximum speed 240 km/h. This configuration consumes 5.2 liters per 100 km and emits only 100 g of CO2 per kilometer. The most powerful is the 3.0 TDI, which has 245 hp. With it, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. The maximum speed is 250 km/h.
In October 2014 at Paris Motor Show A restyled version of the Audi A6 was presented. The elegant exterior combines the democracy of the Audi A4 and the representativeness of the Audi A8. The front part is distinguished by a predatory look and strict head optics, emphasized by LED eyelashes and bright xenon light. Standard for updated Audi A6 are Xenon Plus headlights with LED daytime running lights running lights, as an option you can order all-LED front optics - LED technology and even advanced headlights Audi Matrix LED with trajectory illumination function in turns.
In the center there is a massive radiator grille in the form of an inverted trapezoid, resting on the lower part of the bumper. The grille has visually become even more massive, with pronounced horizontal stripes. The modified front bumper received large air intakes.
From the side, the restyled Audi A6 models are most easily distinguished by their different sills and forged alloy wheels R16-20 with a new pattern design. Choice rims and the different tire sizes are impressive: from the basic 225/60 R16 or 225/55 R17, to the optional 235/55 R18, 245/45 R18, 255/45 R19, 255/40 R19, 255/35 R20.
In the rear, the design of the lights has changed, a chrome strip has appeared on the trunk lid, and the shape of the exhaust pipes has changed.
