1998 Audi A6 Avant 1,8 Turbo

The turbocharged engine’s lively acceleration makes an express machine out of the Audi A6 1.8 T: 9.8 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h, 20.5 seconds from 60 to 120 km/h in fifth gear. This powerful 110 kW (150 bhp) engine has no trouble in achieving such values. The turbocharged 4-cylinder engine has intentionally been designed to respond quickly and develop ample torque at low engine speeds. Between 1750 rpm and 4600 rpm the driver has a torque of 210 Nm available. The 1.8 litre turbo is equipped with a small turbocharger which responds quickly when the throttle is opened, and supplies compressed intake air to the combustion chamber by way of a large charge-air intercooler.
Together with the high engine torque this engine characteristic tends to encourage early shifting up into higher gears. In connection with the car’s moderate weight this gives the A6 Avant 1.8 T with five-speed manual gearbox a fuel consumption of only 10.8/6.7/8.3 litres per 100 kilometres (urban/extra-urban/total) according to the 93/116/EU standard test method.

1998 Audi A6 Avant 1,9 TDI

The powerful and economical TDI four-cylinder, in terms of engine output, is actually the Audi A6 Avant’s entry-level engine. However, this engine variant gives the A6 Avant some highly impressive performance characteristics ­ and also makes it one of the most economical estate cars in its class. Thanks to the turbocharger with VTG (variable turbine geometry) the driver has access to the maximum torque of 235 Nm at 1900 rpm, with the peak power output of 81 kW (110 bhp) being developed as early as 4150 rpm.
Its astonishing torque over a wide speed range guarantees elasticity whenever the situation demands it: 23.8 seconds from 60 to 120 km/h in top gear, 12.8 seconds for the standard acceleration discipline of 0-100 km/h. Even more impressive is the fuel consumption achieved by the four-cylinder TDI: 7.6/4.7/5.8 litres per 100 kilometres (urban/extra-urban/total in accordance with 93/116/EU) for the Audi A6 Avant 1.9 TDI with five-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive.

1998 Audi A6 Avant quattro

Every Audi A6 Avant (apart from the 1.9 TDI) is available as a quattro with permanent four-wheel drive. This improves even further on the already outstanding traction and dynamic performance of the Audi A6 with front-wheel drive. Differing grip properties on road surfaces, in rain, when aquaplaning occurs or on snow as well as those which can occur when taking emergency avoidance measures are easier to handle with an Audi quattro. Its permanent four-wheel drive enhances driving pleasure in all conditions. The turn-in effect ranging from neutral to light understeer, excellent directional stability and agile cornering make Audi A6 quattro models the most reliable of companions whatever the situation. The four-wheel drive Audi A6 Avant is predestined for use as a towing car in both the leisure and business areas on account of its tremendous pulling power, in particular that of the V6 models. Horse-box or yacht ­ the Audi A6 Avant can and indeed is permitted to tow up to 2,100 kilograms (A6 Avant 2.8 quattro on gradients up to eight percent).

1998 Audi A6 Avant, Design

The Audi A6 Avant has achieved its own highly distinctive style, although its technological basis is shared with the saloon. The elegant, compact impression made by the A6 Avant’s silhouette is a result of the interplay between familiar design elements originally found in the saloon and the supreme style in which the designers have dealt with the estate-car body’s surfaces and curve radii. The dominant rear end, exciting contours and distinctive lines serve simultaneously to enhance the Avant’s visual appeal and achieve a high degree of product identification.
The Avant’s design is particularly notable for its dynamic side view. A gently rising window line, black centre roof posts and bold wheel arches serve to emphasise its innate energy. The Audi A6 Avant skilfully assimilates the familiar, innovative design aspects of the A6 saloon while continuing the tradition of its successful predecessor.
