Audi's mid-size car was previously named the Audi 100 and was released in three successive generations 1994, the latest generation of the Audi 100 was facelifted and re-badged as the Audi A6. The United Kingdom was the first market to receive the A6, as stock of right-hand-drive Audi 100s had run out before expected.
In late 1997, the introduction of a new A6, based on a new design with a range of internal combustion engines was announced. This new A6 moved up a notch in quality, and was marketed in the same categories as the BMW 5-Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The redesigned body presented a modern design, with a fastback styling which set the trend for the Audi lineup, and gave the relatively large saloon an aerodynamic shell with a low coefficient of drag of 0.28.
The A6's suspension offers a decent blend of comfort and control, it matches the best cars in the class on either score. It stays impressively flat through corners, but feels rather nose-heavy and the steering is frustratingly light. The ride isn't harsh, but the suspension fidgets a little too much over rough roads.
