Gross weight has been reduced as much as 70 kilograms (154.32 pounds) compared with the previous model. The Audi A6 Avant 2.0 TDI, for example, has a curb weight of just 1640 kilograms (3,615.58 lb).

Audi offers a choice of six engine featuring direct fuel injection for the new Audi A6 Avant: two gasoline engines and four TDI units. They develop between 130 kW (177 hp) and 230 kW (313 hp).
