But speaking of efficiency, tap again share comments from other components of writing, in this case, our technical center, surprised consumption figures achieved by this version with 6 large cylinders behind. I do not know what will come to refine the said drive Quattro Ultra when it comes, name that certainly does have this engine 218 hp V6 There is another identical range with 272 hp compared with 245 hp 3.0 TDi of the outgoing range – whose consumption figures are truly amazing for a car with 1,800 kg at stake: 7,0 l / 100 km consumption is always rigorous in the city; 5,5 l / 100 km is spending on road.
