Model year changeover: update for five model series and new V6 diesel engine

Audi is expanding its engine lineup for the Audi Q5 (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 6.8–5.8 (34.6–40.6 US mpg); combined CO₂ emissions in g/km: 177–153 (284.9–246.2 g/mi); CO₂ class: G–E) and Audi A6 (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 6.1–5.3 (38.6–44.4 US mpg); combined CO₂ emissions in g/km: 165–140 (265.5–225.3 g/mi); CO₂ class: F–E) with a three-liter V6 diesel engine delivering 220 kW (299 PS) and 580 Nm of torque. For the first time, the MHEV plus technology, which delivers up to 18 kW (24 PS) of additional power, is being used in combination with an electrically powered compressor. The engine therefore sets new standards compared to its predecessors. The interaction of three electrified components ensures immense driving fun and highly efficient performance. The V6 TDI quattro can now be ordered for both models.

Audi models based on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) and Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) will receive a comprehensive hardware and software update at the start of the new model year. New features will be added to the A5, A6, Q5, A6 e-tron, and Q6 e-tron series.
