Audi A6 Avant Sets Benchmark for Travel Comfort and Dynamic Handling

Abu Dhabi : Audi blends comfort, sportiness, and tech-driven performance in the new A6 Avant, making it the ideal road companion for UAE drivers who expect first-class travel from start to finish.

• New Audi A6 Avant offers refined ride quality with advanced suspension tech.
• Combines subjective testing with data for a true Audi driving feel.
• MHEV plus tech adds power, smoothness, and better energy recovery.
• Fine-tuned systems ensure comfort across all road and traffic conditions.

Audi has once again raised the bar in executive travel with the newly developed A6 Avant. Designed to offer both relaxed comfort and sharp handling, this vehicle caters to those who demand a refined driving experience without compromising performance. 

With UAE roads in mind, the A6 Avant’s advanced technologies promise smooth long drives and confident city maneuvers.

A Dynamic Setup for Every Road

Audi engineers worked extensively on the A6 Avant's suspension, steering, and power systems. Whether cruising along the highways between Abu Dhabi and Dubai or navigating Sharjah’s tighter city streets, the A6 Avant delivers a balanced feel. 

Adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering, especially in quattro variants, ensure sharp control and smooth ride quality. New tuning modes through Audi drive select—comfort, balanced, and dynamic—let drivers adjust the feel of the ride according to their preferences.

Smart Engineering: Audi’s Testing Philosophy

To perfect the drive, Audi blends human feedback with data. Engineers drive countless kilometers, taking note of how the car feels in different conditions. “The A6 Avant focuses on combining a very smooth, comfortable ride with sporty handling,” said Peter Knauer, who leads suspension development.

They test it on everything—from bumpy roads to highways—to ensure the vehicle remains stable and smooth. Evaluations include:

• Steering accuracy and response.
• Vehicle behavior under ABS braking on wet, icy, or dry roads.
• Suspension comfort on uneven surfaces.
• Control during high-speed turns and sharp lane changes.

The goal is clear: keep the A6 Avant predictable and connected, without making it feel overly stiff or sporty.

Seamless Power: MHEV Plus Technology

Another highlight of the A6 Avant is its mild hybrid (MHEV plus) system. It enhances response while improving energy efficiency. “We had to balance comfort and spontaneous responsiveness as much as possible,” said Steffen Zäpfel, Audi’s energy system developer. The system adds torque during acceleration and recovers energy while braking—without the driver noticing.

During braking, the vehicle relies on electric regeneration first, saving the friction brakes for harder stops. This approach improves energy use while still offering smooth deceleration. Combined with intelligent brake control and power delivery, the driving experience remains premium from start to finish.

With its new generation A6 Avant, Audi shows that luxury travel doesn't have to trade comfort for control. From adaptive suspension to MHEV plus tech, every system is tuned for perfect harmony. Whether you're on a long UAE highway drive or navigating city traffic, the A6 Avant is built to deliver precision, power, and poise—exactly what drivers in this region look for in a business-class vehicle.
