Audi A6 Engines and Transmissions

This generation's Audi A6 engine options include several Estate 5-door powertrains. The 2.0 MT gasoline version uses a manual gearbox and a front-wheel drivetrain, while the 2.5 AT diesel pairs an automatic with all-wheel drive. A 2.7 CVT diesel keeps front-wheel drive with a variable transmission.

Audi A6 Trims and Equipment

On the 2.4 CVT Sedan, Audi A6 trim levels appear as Base and Luxury over the same gasoline engine, variable transmission and front-wheel drive. Those names describe equipment packages, not a different drivetrain. You pick the cabin specification while the mechanical layout stays the 2.4 CVT.
