1 OWNER FLORIDA DRIVEN CLEAN CARFAX 2012 AUDI A6 3.0T AWD SEDAN - NAVIGATION - LEATHER - POWER SUNROOF - DUAL ZONE CLIMATE - SATELLITE & MP3 READY STEREO CD - POWER OPTIONS PACKAGE - MORE!

This gorgeous sedan is packed with great features including front bucket seats, power adjustments for driver's seat with lumbar support, three passenger folding rear seat, driver message center, cruise control, power windows, locks and mirrors, steering wheel controls, seat back storage pockets, map pockets in the front doors, rear door child safety locks, air bag safety and so much more!

This A6 sedan is a Florida driven, Florida maintained vehicle and has never been exposed to the harsh winters, roads, mountains, or overall harsh conditions of up north driving.

Vehicle Overview

Scheduled to hit the U.S. market in late summer or early fall of 2011, this 2012 Audi A6 is a complete redesign, the seventh generation of Audi's midsize car. The A6's competitors include the BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS, Jaguar XF and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, among others.

Exterior
This A6's styling has evolved, but it isn't dramatically different from the previous version, as it still bears a deeply plunging grille. The complex headlight clusters are more squat than before, and LED headlights are optional. LED running lights, previously separated from the clusters, are now integrated.

Likewise, the car's dimensions are similar: The wheelbase is close to 3 inches longer, and the car is a mere half-inch wider.

Increased use of aluminum has shaved more than 60 pounds off the car — impressive, because redesigns typically add weight rather than remove it.


Interior
Except for the trunk, which has grown to about 18 cubic feet, the interior volume is comparable to that of the previous generation. Standard leather seats are an advantage over some competitors, most notably BMW and Mercedes-Benz, which include vinyl seats in their base models.

This A6 adopts the latest version of Audi's Multi Media Interface multifunction controller, including MMI touch, which recognizes letters drawn on a touchpad. An associated LCD screen motors out of the center control panel to rest just above dashboard level but not high enough to block the driver's view. Google Earth navigation and Audi Connect telematics are additional options.


Under the Hood
Although Audi has two gasoline and three diesel engines for the A6 in Europe, the U.S. will start only with a 310-horsepower, supercharged gas V-6. The eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission teams with Quattro all-wheel drive.

Audi cites a zero-to-60 mph time of less than 5.5 seconds. The efficiency has improved, but mpg ratings aren't finalized as of this writing.


Safety
This A6 comes with two front, two front-seat-mounted side-impact and two side curtain airbags. As required of all 2012 models sold in the U.S., it has standard antilock brakes and an electronic stability system, which Audi has included for years.

    Audi, Porsche ensnared in new Volkswagen cheating allegations

    Mon, Nov 2 2015

    The scope of the Volkswagen emissions cheating scandal that has enveloped the global automaker for the past six weeks widened Monday. Now, some of the automaker's premium brands are further ensnared in the mess. Officials with the Environmental Protection Agency issued a second notice of violations Monday, accusing Volkswagen of violating the Clean Air Act by using defeat devices that circumvent emissions testing on diesel versions of certain vehicles equipped with 3.0-liter engines. Roughly 10,000 vehicles in the United States contain the illegal software, the EPA alleges. That's a far smaller number than the 482,000 vehicles affected by the first instances of cheating, which Volkswagen confessed to in September. But this latest violation alleges the cheating occurred broadly through the Volkswagen empire and includes vehicles from the Porsche and Audi brands. Audi had one model, the A3, involved in the first round of announced violations. But the brand, which has enjoyed skyrocketing sales in the US in recent years, is more extensively involved in violations announced Monday. The 2016 Audi A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, A8, A8L and Q5 are among the cars which contain the illegal software, which permits the cars to emit nitrogen oxide at up to nine times the allowable thresholds set in the Clean Air Act, according to the EPA. The 2015 Porsche Cayenne and '14 Volkswagen Toureg SUV are also affected. "There is clear evidence of additional violations and it's important to put Volkswagen on notice and to inform the public." - Janet McCabe. "Audi, which has been on a roll in terms of sales, reputation and image of late, now is being drawn deeper into the quagmire," said Michelle Krebs, senior analyst for Autotrader. "Previously, only the low-volume A3 was under scrutiny, but now Audi's core models are under fire." Audi officials did not respond to a request for comment Monday. In a written statement issued late Monday afternoon, a Porsche spokesperson said, "We are surprised to learn this information. Until this notice, all our information was that the Porsche Cayenne Diesel is fully compliant." Porsche said it would cooperate with authorities.

    More details on next Audi A4 mooted, including PHEV

    Wed, 21 Aug 2013

    With just under two more years until the next-gen Audi A4 hits the streets, it's not surprising that details are starting to leak out. The Brits from Autocar are reporting some information on the 2015 A4, although it isn't clear where any of it came from.
    The most substantial news might be in regards to the plug-in hybrid version of the car. We've known for a couple years now that an A4 PHEV was being planned, but the report indicates that a trio of plug-in configurations are being planned, equipped with a 2.0-liter gas engine, a 2.0-liter diesel engine or a 3.0-liter supercharged V6. All engines will be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the A4 plug-in is said to have an all-electric range of up to 31 miles.
    In terms of styling, the next A4 shouldn't stray too far away from Audi's current design language, but it will introduce a new version of the automaker's signature grille. Despite being about the same size as the existing A4, the fifth-generation model will drop some pounds thanks to various weight-saving techniques with the most obvious being aluminum body panels. Based on this info, we should see the A4 sedan and wagon in April 2015, an Allroad later in the year and a redesigned A5 lineup hitting the scene in 2016.

    Audi and Jaguar Land Rover recalls address seatbelt issues

    Tue, Aug 2 2022

    Audi and Jaguar Land Rover are each recalling several thousand vehicles for separate potential seatbelt issues. The recalls cover the 2022 Audi A3 and S3; 2022 Jaguar F-Type, F-Pace and XF; and the 2022-23 Land Rover Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar. Examples of these vehicles may have shipped with seatbelt pretensioners that will not function properly in the event of an accident.  Audi is recalling its sedans for tensioner devices that may not adequately restrain drivers or passengers during a crash. The issue was discovered during Korean market crash testing of the high-performance RS 3.  "The seat belt tensioner in the affected vehicles serve the purpose of holding the passenger in his position in the seat," Audi said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of a crash, the retention force of the seat belt may not reach the intended level. As a result, the position of the body can be further to the front of the seat, which leads to a negative influence on the whole restraint system, increasing the risk of injury." A different company, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), meanwhile, also has an issue with a batch of pretensioners installed in its cars and SUVs. Pretensioners are the devices that fire off to rapidly retract the seatbelt when a crash is detected. Most utilize an explosive charge and pressure tube JLR says that some pretensioner devices provided by one of its suppliers may not have properly-specified pressure tubes that may not channel the gasses to the retraction mechanism correctly.  "A damaged front seat belt pretensioner tube may have been installed on the seat belt retractor," JLR's report said. "This may result in a reduced level or complete loss of pre-tensioning in the event of a crash and increased occupant injury." Owners of the models included in both recall campaigns should receive notices from the manufacturers in the coming months.  Related video: Recalls Audi Jaguar Land Rover Ownership Safety SUV Sedan
