Introduction

Audis’ 2018 A6 will be taking one last lap before a replacement show up later this year. The A6 covers all the proportions, space, and fuel-efficiency expectations of luxury buyers.

It’s common for us to take it for granted at times, maybe because it’s a good all-rounder.

Its competitors are much newer, and this attributes to our overall rating of 7.0 which is marginally lower than the competitors. If buyers consider the Audi A6 against similar offerings from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Lexus we wouldn’t hold any grudges, we would instead encourage the comparison. The A6 is excellent in futures such as safety, and this makes it have a high score.
 

0-60 and Engine specs

The 2018 Audi A6 being a midsized luxury sedan is available in four trim levels: 2.0T Premium, 2.0T premium plus, 3.0T premium plus and 3.0T prestige. The A6 2.0T is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine which produces 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. It also has a standard front-wheel drive which utilizes a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission. Also, there is an optional all-wheel drive (Quattro) which is paired with an eight-speed automatic. The 3.0T can upgrade to a supercharged 3.0-litre V6 which is good for 340 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. The All-wheel drive option is standard with that engine.

The 2.0T premium and the 3.0T premium have highlights such as 18-inch wheels, adjustable drive settings, xenon headlights, LED running lights, automatic wipers, auto-dimming mirrors, keyless ignition and entry, a sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, tri-zone automatic climate control, eight-way power front seats (which includes heating as well as driver four-way lumbar adjustment), driver-seat memory settings and leather upholstery.

The 2.0T is equipped with stand tech such as Bluetooth, Audi's MMI electronics interface, an 8-inch display, navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Audi Connect(which includes a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability) and a 10-speaker sound system with a CD player, satellite radio and media player interface. The car also has a standard Audi Pre Sense Basic safety system. This system will sense when a collision is imminent and warn the driver, and it will then tension the seat belts and close the windows.

The premium plus (2.0T and 3.0T) trims give you more additions like LED headlights, a blind-spot warning system, power-folding mirrors, four-zone climate control, a power-adjustable steering wheel and a Bose surround-sound audio system.
At the top shelf is the 3.0T Prestige. It has all the above equipment and more features like a top-view parking camera system, a power trunk lid, a head-up display, ventilated front seats, front passenger adjustable lumbar, a power rear sunshade and manual rear side-window shades.

Audi again offers a variety of optional packages, and these are to equip the A6 further. You should be on the lookout for the Driver Assistance package (adaptive cruise control, the top-view camera system but with added front and rear corner views, lane departure warning and intervention, and forward collision warning and mitigation with automatic braking) and the Comfort Seating package (individually contoured and ventilated front seats which have passenger-seat memory settings and massage function). There’s also a competition package that will give you 20-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, a high-performance rear differential, sport front seats, upgraded leather upholstery, and a variety of sporty styling flourishes inside and out.
 

Exterior and Interior

The A6 is among the sportier luxury sedans, and this means some comfort related compromises are made in the name of performance. The sports package drives the comfort score down with its bigger wheels, stiffer suspension and summer tires, and so we’d caution comfort-focused buyers against it.

The A6 has firm seats which become well shaped for comfort after extended periods. Ventilated seats on the top class Prestige trim enhance comfort further, especially on long trips. It also has equally supportive and comfortable outboard rear seats.

The optional sports suspension and 20-inch wheels lack initial compliance with the suspension over smaller road imperfections but not to objectionable levels. We recommend skipping these options to people who consider comfort as a priority.

The A6 has a classy interior, understated design and high-quality materials which gets it high marks. It also has a particularly attractive wooden trim. We also admire the roomy cabin.
The A6 has a right sedan profile and large door openings which means getting in and out is easy, even in tight places. There is no need for rear passengers to stoop to gain access either.
The A6 construction and materials are top-notch. The interior surfaces are attractive and pleasing to touch while the knobs and buttons have a satisfying heft. This Audi might be getting on in years but, it gives up little (if anything) to very recent rivals.
 

Verdict

Although the 2018 Audi A6 is conservatively styled, it is also a handsome mid-sized sedan. It might lack the bells and whistles others now offer, but it holds firm to its foundations as a competent performer.

Considering that the previous optional MMI Navigation Plus package is standard, we think you’d probably be content with the base premium trim. Besides the standard features, it includes the upgrade MMI tech interface, a more prominent display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a proper USB output and full Bluetooth connectivity. We think you’ll be pretty satisfied with the premium if not, you can get more features with the Premium Plus or Prestige. When thinking about a preferable engine, strongly consider the base 2.0T. It has an excellent fuel economy with all-wheel drive, and it is also superlative with the front-wheel drive.
