Discussion on Audi A8 Fleet Vehicle: Pondering the Convenience if Schellhorn Had an A6 Instead
Let's jump on board the newest Audi A6, the revenue king in the C-segment, and the preferred company car. This baby recently hit the roads in Austria, but State Secretary Sepp Schellhorn didn't fancy it; he wanted the swankier Audi A8 instead. Guess we're not here for the test drive - we want someone else to take the wheel! So, buckle up in the backseat, where VIPs like federal presidents, top managers, chancellors, and ministers often ride in German cars. Fortunately, the A6 provides commendable space and comfort, making it perfect for those who like to be chauffeured around in style.
We're 1.66 meters tall, and the rear seat fits us comfortably. There's about 95 cm from the backrest to the front seat, offering ample legroom. The backbench is deep enough for comfortable seating, and there's plenty of headroom, roughly 25 cm above our heads. Our shoes don't quite fit under the front seat, though, as the passenger seat is rather low.
The backseat gets you a separate control panel for the climate control, powerful LED lights in the roof for working at night, a center console with two cup holders, and a cozy feel overall thanks to high-quality materials. It doesn't quite hit the super-luxury level you find in the A8 but comes equipped with everything you'd expect from an Audi. And let's not forget the quiet ride - chats with the chauffeur are possible even with the diesel engine running.
The new A6 is a true sedan manufacturer – its length is 4,999 cm, and the long wheelbase measures 2,917 cm, promising extremely high ride comfort. The developers at Audi said during the presentation that the new A6 is more dynamic, efficient, and digital than ever before. Its almost perfect aerodynamics make it a class leader, with a 0.23 cW value for the sedan and 0.25 for the Avant (wagon).
Time to get behind the wheel! The A6 proves to be an unruffled, stable, and more comfortable ride than one could imagine. Its steering is spontaneous, and the feedback from the road is direct and reliable. The ride impresses with its ability to handle off-road driving exceptionally well.
In conclusion, the A6 stands strong in the market, offering luxury, comfort, and advanced features at an affordable price compared to the multi-million-dollar A8. ladies and gentlemen, buckle up for a smooth ride in the new Audi A6!
