Car of the Year for 1995: The Audi S6

The S6 Base is equipped with a Audi 2.2 liter five-cylinder engine that utilizes 20 valves. The engine is mated to a Volkswagen 5-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Audi.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The S6 comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

Vehicle Statistics

The S6 is 192.60 inches long, 71.00 inches wide, and 56.50 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 106.00 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.

There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $45,270 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1995 S6 is a traditional Bosch Motronic SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 21.10 gallons.

The 1995 S6 gets 23 miles/gallon on the highway and only 18 in the city. This is subpar for a sedan car.

We Think...

There are several reasons why the Audi S6 Base sold well in 1995. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Audi, specifically a S6.
