Audi A4 2012 3.0 TDI quattro

The 2012 A6 3.0 TDI is one of a number of different variants in the A6 sedan range, with some of its counterparts including the 2.0 TDI, the 2.0 TSFI, the 2.8 FSI Quattro and the A6 3.0 TSFI Quattro. As the Australian market becomes more conscious of the impact of cars on the environment, smaller and more fuel efficient models are gaining in popularity. In light of this manufacturers have had to take strides to ensure that their larger models meet the modern demands of the public. So the environmentally aware will be keen to know that the 3.0 TDI Quattro has a fuel consumption rate of 5.9 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres, one of the lowest in the A6 range. It gives out 156 grams in CO2 emissions every kilometre*. The 3.0 litre TDI engine gives 180kW and 500Nm of torque. This helps propel the car to a top speed of 250kmh, and a 0-100kmh acceleration time of 6.1 seconds1**. A number of safety features are present, including 8 airbags that inflate in two stages, depending on the severity of any impact. Driving aids include Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), Traction Control (ASR) and Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), which help keep the car under control and prevent wheel spin, while Brake Assist, Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) help the car slow down. Extras include cruise control and an Audi parking system with a reverse rear camera. Some additional optional extras include an advanced cruise control with a stop and go function, a head up display, and a night vision assistant that detects pedestrians. Being a luxury car there is also a selection of entertainment features, perhaps the most notable of these being a USB port for connecting MP3 players, which is accompanied by a ten speaker sound system. When buying a car one of the main considerations buyers take into account is car insurance. There is a wide variety of factors that can influence this, with the type of car being purchased as well its value and record being some obvious ones. Another important one is the driver. Drivers who have previously claimed or been involved in accidents may be considered higher risk by insurers as they may be seen to be more likely to claim again.
