SCHEDULE A TEST DRIVE
Heating up the battlefield
A luxury car first and foremost needs to look the part. Thanks to its classic styling, the Audi A6 could easily get by on looks alone. Dig below the surface, however, and you'll quickly find a midsize luxury sedan that boasts exceptional performance, an intelligently designed cabin, and a veritable arsenal of in-demand technologies.
Performance
The 2019 Audi A6 offers one of the most comprehensive powertrain lineups of any luxury car, with an equal focus on performance and efficiency.
The lineup starts with a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine, which produces an impressive 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. That’s enough to get the A6 from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds. It’s definitely safe to call the A6 a sport sedan.
The 2019 A6 comes standard with Audi’s signature quattro® all-wheel drive mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission, and it reaches a top track speed of 130 mph.
Equally important is how the A6 handles all that power. In conjunction with the sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, Audi's ultra® technology assesses the vehicle’s handling and responds to changes in the road, so that you always get power where you need it. Audi drive select allows drivers to personalize their driving experiences by fine-tuning aspects, such as the steering response, engine response, and suspension stiffness.
Features
The 2019 Audi A6 is a four-door, five-seat sedan and is available in three trim levels—Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige—and starts at $58,900.*
The base A6 model is the Premium. Standard equipment includes a 7-inch driver information system, MMI® Navigation, Audi sound system with 10 speakers, rain sensing wipers, LED headlights, tail lights, and daytime running lights, panoramic sunroof, three-zone automatic climate control, leather interior, and heated front seats.
In addition to those standard features, the Premium Plus model adds the Audi virtual cockpit, 16-speaker Bang & Olfsen® 3D Premium Sound system, Audi advanced key, and auto-dimming exterior mirrors.
The top-tier Prestige trim adds even more with features like a heads-up display with navigation, power soft-closing doors, four-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated 12-way front seats, multicolored ambient lights, and dynamic daytime running lights.
The A6's exterior design is defined by clean lines and a chiseled look shared with Audi’s flagship A8, plus the familiar Audi face consisting of a bold shield-shaped grille and sharp headlights with LED daytime running lights.
The A6 is just as refined on the inside as it is on the outside. Along with supple leather and intricate patterns, the 2019 A6 sedan includes Audi’s industry-leading MMI® infotainment and navigational system that continues to impress.
Safety
Standard safety equipment on the 2019 Audi A6 includes anti-lock brakes, stability and traction controls, and airbags for the front, front-thorax, knee, and head curtain. The 2019 Audi A6 also comes with the Audi pre sense® system, which can detect when a collision is imminent and warn the driver by tightening seat belts and closing the windows. The Audi pre sense system works in tandem with pre sense rear, which flashes the brake lights as a warning to vehicles behind you.
Additional available safety features include adaptive cruise assist, active lane assist, night vision assistant, parking system plus, and Audi side assist.
Verdict
The 2019 Audi A6 is a polished sports sedan with the style and technology needed to not only keep pace with the competition, but to effortlessly push past it.
