2009_Audi_A6_3.jpg

It's not written anywhere that luxury sedans need to have 300 horsepower—especially when there is prodigious amounts of torque on tap. What Car? has tested the Audi A6 2.0 TDI e over in Europe. Basically, it's an A6 with the Volkswagen Jetta TDI Clean Diesel's four-cylinder mill installed.

The tiny turbodiesel engine pumps out 134bhp and 236lb ft of torque, but that's with a CO2 output of just 139g/km and average fuel economy of 53.3mpg (Imperial). It also sports sharp steering, a beautifully trimmed interior, and plenty of room for five passengers. The report said that Audi achieved the stellar economy figure via low-rolling-resistance tyres, brake-energy regeneration, a lowered sports suspension, and longer gearbox ratios in the six-speed manual transmission. So when are we getting one here in the states? (Via AutoblogGreen)
