Recently introduced Sport trim enriches the already broad appeal of the Audi A6 allroad quattro

• Sport specification can now be ordered on all new A6 allroad quattro models
• Standard specification additions include new 19-inch alloy wheels, all-LED headlights, dynamic rear LED turn signals, electrically adjustable front sport seats and privacy glass
• Range of three V6 TDI powerplants available with outputs of 218 PS, 272 PS or 320PS
• Sport pricing starts from £49,455 OTR – available to order now

The sure-footed Audi A6 allroad, the quattro all-wheel-driven and air suspended Avant that is already notable as one of the most effective insulators against difficult winter driving conditions, is now available with an enhanced specification that makes it an even more protective and pampering means of weathering the storms.

Recently introduced Sport versions of the A6 allroad can be ordered now in time for delivery during the fast-approaching winter months, when the adhesive qualities of the quattro system and the raised ride height afforded by the standard four-level air suspension come into their own. To these, and the many other equipment items included in the standard model, Sport specification adds full LED headlights that replace the bi-xenon units of ‘standard’ A6 allroad models to further enhance visibility in the darkest conditions. A high beam assist function is also added as standard to automatically dip the beam when oncoming traffic is approaching. At the rear in Sport models, dynamic LED turn signals that operate in a sweeping motion increase safety and awareness for other road users.

New 10-spoke design 19-inch alloy wheels with a matt titanium finish, privacy glass and heated and folding mirrors round out the exterior enhancements, while inside sports seats in upgraded Valcona leather with full electric adjustment are complemented by luxurious Alcantara door inserts. These add to an already extensive equipment list that includes features such as SD card navigation, the Audi Music Interface, powered tailgate operation, the Audi parking system plus and deluxe four-zone air conditioning.

Rugged ability in any weather

Adaptive air suspension is fitted to every A6 allroad, endowing it with accomplished all-terrain ability but also a cossetting ride quality that absorbs even the harshest of road imperfections.

A dynamic or comfort mode can be selected using the Audi drive select system, and the suspension automatically adjusts to reduce aerodynamic drag at speeds above 74 mph by lowering the body by 15 mm. When more ground clearance is required, a lift mode can be engaged at the push of a button, raising ride height by 10 mm.

When negotiating more substantial off-road trails, the driver can easily monitor the impressive 20° slope angle and 17° ramp angle capability using the tilt angle display, which can be called up via the central MMI screen. Hill hold assist and hill descent control, which maintains a constant vehicle speed between five and 18 mph, are also standard.

Assistance and safety enhancements

Matrix LED headlights can be fitted as an option to dramatically increase the overall range and spread of illumination. A total of 64 separate projectors maintain a constant high beam function without dazzling other road users by electronically dimming segments when oncoming traffic or light sources are detected. The advanced units adapt to shift the light position in corners, while information from the navigation system automatically adjusts the full beam when entering or leaving built-up areas.

A head-up display can furnish the driver with essential information directly in the line of vision to reduce distraction, including speed and route navigation data. Also available is the innovative night vision assistant, which is capable of alerting the driver to people and large animals well in advance by using thermal imaging.

The more practical side of the allroad quattro can be further exploited by fitting a mechanically operated tow bar and a convenience pack, offering further storage and practicality solutions such as hard-wearing floor mats, a through-load facility and a luggage fixing kit.

V6 TDI engine range

A choice of three EU6-compliant six-cylinder TDI engines power the new A6 allroad quattro in standard and Sport specification. The 218 PS and 272 PS engines are mated to a seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch transmission, while the 320 PS and 650Nm output of the BiTDI is fed to the wheels via an eight-speed tiptronic transmission.

The latter ensures brisk performance of only 5.5 seconds to 62 mph and a 155 mph limited top speed. Up to 43.5 mpg is achievable, linked to CO2 output of 172 g/km. Combined fuel efficiency increases to a possible 50.4 mpg for the 218 PS and 51.4 mpg for the 272 PS, while CO2 drops to 149 and 145 g/km respectively.

The Association of Scottish Motoring Writers has voted the Audi TT its Coupé of the Year for 2015

• Audi TT is named Coupé of the Year in the Scottish Car of the Year Awards
• Pricing starts from £27,150 OTR for Sport and £29,700 OTR for S line specification
• Full engine range also available to order for the TT Roadster, fitted with a fully automatic and acoustic fabric roof as standard
• Recently introduced 1.8 TFSI with 180PS now also available for both variants
• Flagship 310PS TTS quattro can be specified as a Coupé or Roadster

Lauded for its enduring appeal as an engaging yet practical everyday sportscar, the Audi TT has received even more top honours by winning the coveted Coupé category in the annual Scottish Car of the Year Awards (SCOTY) held in Edinburgh on Friday.

Highly praised by the esteemed panel of judges who comprise the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers, President Alisdair Suttie summed up the category win by commenting: "The Audi TT embodies all that is best about coupés. Sporting, sleek and great to drive, yet practical for everyday use and a spread of engines that goes from fast and frugal to just plain fast! A huge hit with the judges, the TT also offers all-wheel drive to be the perfect coupé for Scotland."

All models are equipped with an extensive standard specification featuring highlights such as Audi drive select, a retractable rear spoiler and the Audi Virtual Cockpit, which is an all-digital instrument display that delivers pin-sharp resolution across a 12.3-inch LCD screen. The full potential of this system can be unlocked by choosing the optional Technology Package with MMI Navigation Plus, allowing the 3D mapping facility to fill almost the entire screen in vivid colour when desired. The same package also includes the Audi connect suite of services, such as Google Earthe, Twitter, online news, the cheapest fuel prices and other useful information like plane and train times.

Reserved as standard for the S line specification are all-weather LED headlights and tail lights as well as the no-cost option of 10mm lower suspension, plus various S line specific styling enhancements inside and out.

Both Sport and S line models can be enhanced with a raft of other options like Audi magnetic ride, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, Audi Matrix LED headlights and deluxe automatic air conditioning with digital displays integrated into the air vents.

1.8 TFSI now available

Further contributing to the reputation of the TT as a highly rewarding driver’s car is a new 1.8 TFSI engine that produces 180PS and 250Nm of torque between 1,250 – 5,000 rpm. Mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission, the 1.8 TFSI is the lightest TT in the range and weighs a mere 1,210 kg. Accelerating from standstill to 62 mph takes only 6.9 seconds, with a maximum top speed of 149 mph.

The lightest TT is also one of the most efficient; up to 47.1 mpg is achievable with a CO2 figure of 138g/km, beaten only by the 184 PS 2.0 TDI ultra which peaks at 62.8 mpg combined and has a CO2 output of 116g/km.

Pricing starts from £27,150 OTR for the TT 1.8 TFSI Coupé Sport, rising to £42,495 OTR for the TTS Roadster, which features the most powerful engine in the range – a 310 PS 2.0 TFSI capable of sprinting to 62 mph in just 4.6 seconds. Naturally, the TTS comes equipped with quattro all-wheel drive for immense traction in all conditions, as do 230 PS 2.0 TFSI S tronic versions of the Coupé and Roadster. All TT models are ready to order in the UK now.
