Audi A6 Matrix 35 TFSI petrol launched at Rs. 52.75 lakh

The Audi A6 Matrix 35 TFSI has been launched in India at Rs. 52.75 lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi). This is now the top-end variant of the A6 petrol, sitting above the existing 35 TFSI variant, which is priced at Rs. 48.10 lakh.

The changes on the Matrix trim compared to the regular A6 include new Matrix LED headlamps, a special S-Line body kit, and 18-inch, forged hollow spoke alloy wheels. It also gets new dynamic turn indicators embedded in the tail lights, which sweep towards the direction of turn.

Updates on the inside include a larger 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system that also offers navigation support, and is connected to a 14-speaker sound system from BOSE. Other features on offer include adaptive air suspension, eight airbags, and a comfort key feature with hands-free and gesture-based boot opening technology.

The Matrix trim continues to be powered by a 1.8-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine, which generates 187 BHP and 320 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic gearbox, but doesn't get the company's Quattro all-wheel drive system. The company claims that the car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds.

The A6 competes with the BMW 5-Series, Jaguar XF and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
