Audi launched the latest version of its highly successful sedan – the A6 – today in the Indian market. In its latest avatar the car delivers seven percent more power and five percent better fuel efficiency.

Audi India has decided to spice up its current line-up with the introduction of the Audi A6 Matrix. The new avatar of the highly successful executive sedan is now powered by a new 2-litre TDI engine that produces 190bhp of power delivering the power to the wheels via a new seven-speed S tronic transmission.

The new Audi A6 Matrix is Audi India’s sixth offering to the Indian market after the Audi R8 LMX, Audi RS 7 Sportback, Audi TT Coupé, Audi RS 6 Avant and the Audi Q3.

The car features Audi Matrix LED headlights, signature Single frame grille, new engine and transmission and an advanced infotainment system along with comprehensive updates to the profile and design.
