Now in its fifth generation, the latest model having launched in 2018, the Audi A6 remains one of the best executive cars you can buy. It has sophisticated styling inside and out and drives in the same manner, with a priority on comfort and refinement but a hint of sporty handling in the right specification.
Audi has kept pace with its rivals in terms of technology so while the A6 has been on sale for a few years now, even older models will still feel contemporary, and a choice of petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid powerplants gives you plenty of options to suit your needs. Audi of course also offers the A6 in Avant estate form, while for even more style, the Audi A7 is also available.
The Audi A6 is one of the ‘big three’ German executive saloons, and it’s just as worthy of your attention as the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Like its rivals the A6 feels like a product of continual evolution, getting more advanced and more refined with each iteration but keeping the same fundamental qualities - in Audi’s case, class-leading build quality and handsome, fairly understated styling.
The A6 was one of the first cars in Audi’s range to use a double touchscreen system for its infotainment, and despite being an early adopter, it’s really not a bad system to use - haptic feedback lets you know when you’ve adequately pressed one of the large, easy to find ‘buttons’ on the screen. The cabin still looks modern and fresh too despite this generation going on sale in 2018 - and the car’s substantial size means you get plenty of cabin space front and rear, and a usable 530 litre boot too.
On the road the A6 majors on refinement. You’ll get a slightly softer ride in an E-Class but at speed the A6 is whisper-quiet in all its forms, and higher-spec models with air suspension really do smooth out the road surface. This A6 drives better than ever too, with positive steering and good body control, while the brawny S6 TDI is even quite enjoyable to thread through a few twists and turns.
As well as the 5 Series and E-Class, multi-talented models in their own right, other cars to consider in this class are the Jaguar XF, which is great to drive and very handsome in the right colour and specification, and two Lexus models - the older, rear-wheel drive GS, and the newer, front-wheel drive ES, both of which have refinement and impeccable build quality on their side. The Volvo S90 is another fine choice.
Diesel power has been the go-to choice in big German executive saloons like this for quite some time, and that doesn’t change a great deal with the A6. Audi has even forced your hand with the S6 sports saloon, since that’s diesel only (a punch V6 unit), but even the four-cylinder 40 TDI makes a lot of sense thanks to its 50mpg economy and strong performance. Sport trim is also a wise pick, with a softer edge to its ride quality that the S Line models on larger wheels and sports suspension. Don’t overlook the plug-in 50 TFSI e if you have charging at home though - its 32-mile EV range isn’t much but could reduce your commuting fuel bills quite significantly.
The Audi A6’s exterior dimensions are:
The Audi A6’s boot space is:
Most Audi A6s get a tax surcharge since they cost more than £40,000 when brand new. This means the majority get a £600 bill each year (which drops to a lower rate from the car’s seventh year on the road), while the 50 TFSI e, thanks to being a plug-in hybrid and therefore classed as an ‘alternative fuel vehicle’, is £10 cheaper each year.
Insurance groups for the Audi A6 rise from group 32 for a 40 TFSI in Sport trim and 35 for the 40 TDI quattro, to groups 43-47 for the Audi S6, depending on trim level. S Line models are typically a group or two higher than their Sport counterparts, while well-equipped Vorsprung models can be quite a jump. Ther A6’s insurance groups are similar to those of a BMW 5 Series, which spans groups 28-46.
