The AUDI A6 (1997-04) 4DR SALOON 2.4 V6 170 SE MTRON AUTO is a large executive saloon for buyers seeking comfort and refinement beyond mainstream family cars. In the UK used market, it competes with period BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class models, with an understated approach to premium motoring. Its smooth 2.4-litre V6 and automatic gearbox suit relaxed commuting, long journeys and family duties, with a spacious cabin and boot for passengers and luggage. SE trim adds a comfort-focused feel, while solid build and composed road manners are key attractions. It is less suitable for drivers seeking low running costs or a small, easy-to-park car.
