Editor's notes
This new A6 is proof that luxury sedans can withstand an onslaught of SUVs. It joins a small class, yet each member is strong in all the right ways — including style, comfort, tech, prestige, and driving enjoyment.
We also noticed Audi seems to have already ditched its naming system where cars with even numbers in their names were all-electric (like the Q4 e-tron), while cars with odd numbers (like the A3) would use gasoline power. The new A6 has a turbocharged V6, while dispensing with any 4-cylinder engines the outgoing A6 offered.
It’s the timing we find most interesting, however. In the past, generations of the A6 have been out of sync with chief rivals — the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. So when new models of those made their debut, the A6 was halfway through a cycle and could only offer a refresh in response. This time around, both rivals only debuted their latest iterations two model years ago, making this A6 much more competitive.
