1998 Audi A6 Avant




Since its launch in 1977, the Avant product line has set the standards time and time again. With its exceptional level of technology and trend-setting design it has given new status to the luxury estate car segment and pushed development further forward with each new generation.
Over and above this, the A6 Avant has exemplary all-round features to offer. Within the same overall length as the Audi A6 saloon, the A6 Avant has a load area of 1590 litres with the rear seat folded down. The variable load area, which owners of an estate car know only too well to value, can be accessed in a more straightforward manner than on the previous model and, as a result, ensures a greater degree of functionality. The maximum through-loading width of the tailgate opening measures 1154 millimetres, the width between the wheel arches is 1056 millimetres and the maximum load-area length with the rear seat folded down is 1884 millimetres.
Fuel consumption and performance are almost identical with comparably equipped A6 saloons. In terms of aerodynamics, the Audi A6 Avant also qualifies for top marks. The drag coefficient cD is 0.29 and the frontal area measures 2.19 square metres.
The excellent value-for-money offered by the previous model has undergone systematic improvement. The comprehensive range of standard equipment well known from the saloon model is also supplied in the Audi A6 Avant. It includes central locking with remote control, electric windows at front and rear, automatic lap-and-diagonal seat belts with pyrotechnic tensioners for all five seats and front and side airbags. Apart from this, the standard equipment includes: ABS (anti-lock braking system), EDS (electronic differential lock), fog lights, five lightweight aluminium wheels, an outside temperature display, a comprehensive interior lighting package and an elastic luggage net. The fully-automatic air conditioning system, available as an option at no extra charge, rounds off this exceptional product offer.
