The A6 Avant debuted in May 1998 and offered executive estate customers a new benchmark in sophistication and style.1998年5月亮相的A6轿车尴地产常务客户提供先进和风格的新基准. Entry level buyers got a spirited 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbo but the 2.4-litre V6 offered a good deal more torque.职买家有朝气蓬勃一点八公升4缸涡轮不过2.4公升V6导提供了大量扭矩. The 1.8T proved more popular, though, on account of its lower fuel bills.比较流行的中高级证明,虽然,因它降低燃料法案.

The long-bonneted 295bhp 4.2 V8 quattro debuted (with the A8?s engine) in February 1999 and a 230bhp 2.7-litre V6 turbo Avant followed in June.长期bonneted295bhpV8的慑人四月二日亮相(同A8规定?收盘发动机)1999年2月和230bhp2.7-6公升V6导涡轮尴其次. Around this time the 2WD 2.8s were dropped, a clever new six-speed CVT ?Multitronic?围绕这次2wd2.8s投掷、新巧的六速无级变速?Multitronic简介? automatic gearbox was introduced and interior fabrics and equipment were slightly revised.自动变速箱、设备引进和内政部面料略有修改.

2001 saw a further revision to the A6 range.一年全球范围内进一步修改的A6轿车. The ?double radiator grille?<?双散热器格栅? that previously only adorned the range-topping eight-cylinder A6 models was adopted across the range as were clear glass headlamp covers, whilst the standard lights were increased in size.以前只有守候的距离超过8缸型号A6轿车通过了全国玻璃前照灯射程涵盖内容清晰、虽然尺寸标准灯增加. The rear lights came in for a makeover too, with the reversing lights made almost cylindrical in appearance, and visible tailpipes made an appearance.灯光在后方来到太一变天,随着扭转了近圆柱形灯光外观可见燃烧室作了露面. The engine and transmission options multiplied.发动机和传动选择增多.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
A6 Avant buyers generally don?t want to cart grandfather clocks about ?A6轿车尴买家普遍鲍思?手推车祖父钟表笔想什么? which is just as well for with a boot capacity of 455 litres, the A6 has less room in the back than most estates from the next class down.这也只是一个行李箱容量为455公升、<少室A6轿车已在回屋比大多数由下阶层. But then, the company?s executive estate cars have never been huge capacity carriers in the Volvo mode.但是,该公司?收盘长官地产车从未容量庞大的航空母舰沃尔沃模式. In varying degrees, style has taken precedence over space.在不同程度上已盖过风格空间.
The key is in getting the balance between the two just right and in the latest A6 Avant, we?d suggest that the designers have hit the mark almost perfectly.关键是在两者之间取得平衡,并在最新恰恰好尴A6轿车,我们?丁认为设计师切中几乎完美. Audi like to describe the car as a ?five-door coupe?.奥迪轿车一样,形容为?五门采伐?. Most would simply agree this to be the most handsome estate you can buy; certainly, it?s better-proportioned than its awkward-looking German rivals.最根本的是要认同这个产业都可以买到最英俊;当然,?收盘较其比重较容易接受瞻德国对手.
Part of this has to do with the fact that Audi has done more than just add a box-shaped rear end and tailgate to the back of its A6 saloon.一部分这与事实奥迪所做不止增添盒形底后方的栏板和背面的A6轿车球馆. Ingolstadt did the job properly, developing a completely new windscreen and different door pillars to give the design the right balance.塔特奥迪做不好,全新挡风玻璃和发展支柱给予不同门设计平衡. The roofline?s higher too, giving more headroom at the rear.<roofline?收盘高过,多给予通行的后方.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
The first of the A6 Avant 1.8T models opens at around £6,500 on a 1998 R plate with desirable SE specification costing another £500.第一条开A6轿车尴1/2型号6500英镑左右就1998住宅适宜硒板规格另耗资500英镑. The 2.4-litre car is only marginally pricier and is well worth looking at if you can stomach the bigger fuel bills, being smoother and more reliable than the 1.8T.2.4公升的汽车只能勉强价格较高,很值得看,如果你能肚子越大燃料法案正在顺利且较可靠的1/2. The best pick amongst the earlier petrol cars is probably the 2.8 quattro, starting as it does at £8,000 on a 1998 R plate.在较早的最佳选择汽油车大概280慑人,它起于1998年,在8000英镑住宅板块. The 1.9-litre TDI diesels are worth tracking down.190公升柴油TDI的值得追查. These open at £8,300 with SE models again commanding a £500 premium.这与8300英镑上午再度指挥硒型号保险费500英镑. If funds permit, go for the mighty 2.5-litre TDI model, quattro versions of which start at £9,000 on a 1998 R plate.在经费许可的情况下,走了威武2.5升TDI的模式慑人版本就开始在9000英镑1998住宅板块.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The avant is generally a pretty tough customer with a solid interior and a rust proof body.一般来说十分强硬的尴客户提供坚实的内政和锈证明机构. The only real issue is to look out for ignition coil problems on the early 1.8T engines as this can prove problematic.唯一真正的问题是寻找问题的点火线圈初出世引擎有问题,因为这可以证明. Fortunately Audi has got its house in order when it comes to back ordering this part.所幸得到了奥迪公司的秩序就回本部订购.
The quattro system is reliable and well proven but it?s best not to allow a local spannerman to fiddle with it.慑人系统是可靠的,但它也证明?收盘最好不要让本地spannerman来拨弄. The complexity of the car should be enough to ensure you insist on an A6 with a cast-iron service history and, at this stage, Audi dealers are still likely to have the best examples.复杂的汽车应足以确保你坚持一个A6轿车用铸铁服务历史,在这一阶段,奥迪经销商仍可能有最好的例子. The premium they charge may be well worth your peace of mind.他们收取的保费可能非常值得你安心.
Interiors are hard wearing and well designed, much like the rest of the car.服装设计及室内设计难,很像其余的轿车. As for corrosion, with an Audi you're pretty safe and there's a lengthy anti-perforation warranty to reassure you (ensure any conditions have not been breached by previous owners).至于腐蚀奥迪你一个安全而有漂亮的长防穿孔保修向你(确保没有违反任何条件按以前业主).

ON THE ROAD 在路上
A6 Avant performance is certainly more than adequate; both at the pumps (where the 1.9-litre TDi averages 40mpg) and on the test track ?A6轿车尴表现固然绰绰有余;在水泵(如1.9升TDI的平均数40mpg)的测试和跟踪? where even the 1.8T makes 60 in 9.4s on the way to 136mph.那里的1/2甚至使得60月9.4s途中136mph. To be fair, however, V6 power suits the car better.说句公道话,不过,V6导车更适合权力. The 2.4-litre unit is impressively refined and far less frantic, recording 9.1s and 141mph.2.4公升单位是堂堂正正平和得多癫狂、记录和9.1s141mph. Stretch if you can to the gorgeous 2.8 V6, 2.7T or V8 4.2-litre models which, in desirable quattro form, answer tractional questions that rivals haven't even thought about.如果你能向舒展华丽八月二日V6导,2.7t或V8的4.2公升型号,在适宜慑人表回答问题牵引对手甚至尚未想过. The A6 Avant is certainly a lighter, more agile car than its predecessor and feels it to drive.当然轻松的尴A6轿车,轿车超过942多敏捷,认为驾驶. Audi claims a 35kg reduction in weight compared to the previous model ?奥迪声称队员体重比以前减少模型? one reason why the fuel consumption figures are around 7% better across the range.一个原因油耗数字约为7%更好海峡射程.
OVERALL 总体
There?s little not to like with the A6 Avant ??收盘一点不喜欢与A6轿车尴? it?s genuinely a very complete car.?收盘真正非常圆满轿车. Newer rivals may be a little edgier looking but few possess such a broad array of talents.新颖的对手可能有点看不过edgier具有这样几个各种各样的人才. The 2.8-litre petrol and 2.5-litre TDi engines remain the pick of the bunch although the RS6 Avant must be sampled once in your life.280公升汽油和2.5升TDI的引擎仍尖子目次虽然很快尴必须采样一次你性命.
