New Base 248 HP 2.0L TFSI Makes 2019 Audi A6 $4,800 Cheaper

BY Dan Mihalascu | Posted on

Audi is introducing a new entry-level four-cylinder engine for the 2019 A6 in the United States.

Not counting the newly-launched 444 hp 2020 Audi S6, up until now the premium midsize sedan was only offered with a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 gasoline engine making 335 hp (340 PS) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque.

Quattro AWD is standard

From now on, U.S. customers will be able to choose a new entry-level 2.0-liter TFSI turbo-four gasoline unit rated at 248 hp (252 PS) and 273 lb-ft (370 Nm) of torque. Offered as standard with the quattro AWD system and a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission, the 2019 Audi A6 2.0 TFSI accelerates from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 6.1 seconds — one second slower than the six-cylinder model.

Obviously, the new four-cylinder engine makes the 2019 A6 more accessible for U.S. customers as the base price gets lowered to $54,100 for the Premium grade (excluding $995 destination). That makes it $4,800 cheaper than the equivalent 2019 Audi A6 3.0T Premium. The 2.0-liter engine is also offered for the mid-range Premium Plus grade which starts from $57,800.

Included in the base price are goodies such as three-zone automatic climate control, heated eight-way power front seats with four-way power lumbar adjustment and leather upholstery, progressive steering, LED headlights, high beam assist, lane departure warning, and 19-inch 10-spoke dynamic design wheels with all-season tires.

Also standard are the MMI navigation and Audi smartphone interface but the Audi virtual cockpit is optional. Buyers who want more can tick the Convenience package box which adds Audi side assist with Audi pre sense rear, Audi phone box, and Audi advanced key.

There’s an available Black optic package as well that features high gloss black exterior surrounds for the windows and Singleframe grille. Finally, the Executive package available for Premium Plus models adds features such as four-zone climate control, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, power trunk open/close and interior lighting package plus — the latter adds multicolor ambient light.
