Audi A6 Avant: Debut at $47,590

Monday, August 08, 2005

The A6 Avant is on sale now in the US and the base price is $47,590, including a $720 destination charge.

The A6 is the first Avant to be offered with an optional $450 power tailgate that opens and closes with the push of a button. Standard equipment includes a leather interior with 12-way power heated front seats and dual-zone climate control. Options include a $2,300 adaptive air suspension, $2,100 adaptive cruise control, $200 heated steering wheel, and $250 manual rear and side window sunshades.

With gobs of sophisticated goodies and a torquey V6 engine, the new A6 Avant is a whole lot better than your mother's station wagon.
