Audi A6 Sedan — POV Drive

WARSAW, POLAND • OCTOBER 2021, 01.00 AM

Cruising around Warsaw in a sunrising morning, in a 2021 Audi A6 (C8) 40 TDI Limousine (to not confuse with the stretched one called "Long"). With only 7000kms (4350mi) on it, this car is truly / nearly brand new.

The Audi A6 "C8 Generation" has been launched in 2018 and is still in production now in 2021, and will be until the launching of the C9 in 2023. Until then, a facelift may come with minor changes. No big deal to expect from them ••• Among 12 engines combinations (7 petrols / 5 diesels), the one I had was the second least powerful 40 TDI (204 Hp) MHEV S tronic.

😱 FIRST IMPRESSION ?
As a driver, it feels like you are an Executive or a very important employee (but the car has to be in silver.. not white nor black). I would say that the A5 and A7 are driven by the type of guys who wears white sneakers with suits.. the A6 is meant for real men who don't have the need to show off to get appreciated by their entourage!! ••• I love this car, it's a pure beauty, very elegant, especially in Silver Metalic.

🤔 WHAT ABOUT THE CAR ?
[ + ] Very quiet car, even at high speed or during hard accelerations
[ + ] I like the size of this car : there is enough space in both rows (which is not the case with the A3 Limo -    • Audi A3 Sportback or Limo ?  POV Driv...   and A4 Limo -    • 2022 Audi A4 — Rain POV Drive #Poland  )
[ + ] Good trunk space (530L)
[ + ] Second least powerful engine ? Not noticeable! For me, it was an amazing flying machine!
[ - ] First of all, I think it's a shame to not include as standard "ambient lightening".. it felt really dark inside during my night pov drive.
[ - ] The second row center console can literally fit only 1 phone (utterly useless).
[ - ] Way too much plastic inside, including steering wheel buttons, front row center console, cup holder, when they could use some less noisier material like rubber or something..
-
ps : As always, I'm trying to see if the least powerful version of a model and standard configuration are good enough ? In this case, I had the second least powerful engine with a pretty basic interior. Engine was perfect for me, the interior a little bit disappointing. It's a shame that you have to opt for a huge amount of options just to make your car look / feel better.

💦 FUEL CONSUMPTION ?
- 9,5L/100km (22,3mpg)
