2015 Audi A6 Matrix 35TDI facelift review: The Blue Pill - Motoroids (blog)
The new A6 Matrix, as they call it, has been given a thorough overhaul by its Ingolstadt based maker, along with a suffix that reminds us of the now somewhat forgotten, but once legendary Wachowski Brothers. Nonetheless, with Audi asserting strongly that #ItJustKnows everything, I felt like one Thomas A. Anderson aka Neo as I ‘entered the Matrix’ for a drive. Let’s start off with those Matrix headlamps the new car derives the suffix for its name for. And like the digital world created by the all-encompassing software controlling the world in the aforementioned Hollywood flick, where there weren’t any lines to differentiate reality and magic, the A6’s technology is here to amaze you. Comprising an array of LED lights controlled by light sensors, the technology is capable of turning a select set of LED bulbs off so it doesn’t dazzle the driver in the car travelling in the opposing direction. We’ve seen the tech in action in a few other cars as well, including the R8, RS6, TT and the new A8L we just reviewed. So along with cutting edge tech gifted by the flagship A8 L, the A6 also gets a sharper shape for those eyes. Audi asserts that shape of the DRL’s on the new headlamps resembles an arrow, though we struggle to find one there. The grille has been given its due revamp, and gets the Audi Singleframe treatment for this version. Source: www.motoroids.com
