S6 Avant Practicality

Light and rain sensors

Clear visibility - no matter the conditions

The light and rain sensor, standard on all S6 models, automatically activates or deactivates the low-beam headlights and the windscreen wipers when required. This is particularly convenient, for instance, in unpredictable and poor weather, deteriorating light, entering tunnels, or simply, when it's getting dark. And the rain sensor reacts to the strength of the rain - adapting the wiper interval accordingly - meaning you can just concentrate on driving.

A key choice

The S6 comes with a choice of two keys: the remote control key (standard) or the advanced key (optional).

The remote control key - convenient and practical

Locks and unlocks the doors, windows, luggage compartment and tank filler flap at the press of a button
Locks and unlocks the boot separately
Keyless go- You can start the engine by simply pressing the start/stop button in the centre console

The advanced key - the key you can keep in your pocket

The optional advanced key allows you to keep the key in your pocket all the time. The doors unlock automatically when you approach the car and you can start the engine simply by pressing the start/stop button in the centre console.

Power operated boot lid

The massive 565-litre capacity boot can be specified with an electronically operated boot lid. Simply press a button on the advanced key to release and it will rise smoothly and elegantly for you to load your luggage. To close the boot, simply press the button on the inside and the tailgate will gently lower and lock.

Boot capacity

Plenty of space

The luggage compartment has a generous 565-litre capacity. This can be increased with the rear seats folded to a very large 1680 litres. The 60/40 split-fold rear seats also come with the option of a load-through hatch to accommodate a separate ski or snowboard bag. But there's very little point in having a large boot capacity, if it's tough to access. That is why, the Audi A6 Avant boot is designed with you in mind.

Loading made easy

Due to the clever trapezoidal link rear suspension, the load bay area is exceptionally wide. This means that if you need to load an item a metre wide, this can easily be accomplished.

No need to crouch

Likewise, the tailgate opens to a height of almost two metres, making it one of the biggest in its class. This makes loading a far less taxing activity for those over six feet tall.

Load securing kit

The optional load-securing kit works in conjunction with the Audi rail system, that comes as standard on the S6, and offers a host of different possibilities for transporting your luggage even more safely.

Running the length of the flat load surface are two rails, along which a telescopic rod and fastening strap can be moved and locked in any position. This means even bulky items of luggage can be held firmly in place.
