Audi A6 (2019-2025) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Wide choice of engines, including a plug-in hybrid	Not as much fun as rivals from BMW and Jaguar
Comfortable and superbly made cabin	Reduced boot space if you choose a plug-in hybrid
Fully loaded with high-tech safety features and driver aids	Some optional extras are expensive

Quick Summary

The eighth-generation Audi A6 (2019-2025) is a premium executive saloon that excels in technology, comfort, and refinement. It presents a sophisticated and high-quality cabin, offering generous space for passengers and a competitive 530-litre boot in standard models. However, buyers should note the plug-in hybrid TFSI e variant has a reduced boot capacity of 360 litres. While its handling is safe and predictable, the A6 prioritises being a quiet and comfortable long-distance cruiser over the dynamic, sporty feel of rivals like the BMW 5 Series.

A range of efficient mild-hybrid petrol and diesel engines are available, with the popular 40 TDI diesel offering a great balance of performance and economy. Running costs are competitive for the class, although most versions will be subject to the higher VED road tax rate for cars over £40,000. Even entry-level Sport models are well-equipped with a dual-screen infotainment system and heated front seats, while optional extras like Audi's 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit further enhance the car’s high-tech appeal.

Best for: Drivers who prioritise long-distance comfort, a high-tech cabin, and premium build quality in an executive saloon.

Not ideal for: Buyers seeking the most engaging driving experience in the class, or those who need maximum boot space in a plug-in hybrid model.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the A6 if: You want a comfortable, high-tech, and refined executive saloon for long-distance cruising and value a premium-quality cabin.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a sporty, engaging driving experience or need the largest possible boot in a plug-in hybrid model.

Competitive Position: The Audi A6 is a formidable contender in the executive saloon market, standing out with its superb interior quality, advanced technology, and exceptional refinement. While it doesn't offer the driver engagement of a BMW 5 Series, it excels as a comfortable and luxurious cruiser, making it an ideal choice for those who spend a lot of time on the motorway. Its blend of style, comfort, and technology makes it a very appealing package.
