What’s it like to drive?
Reviewers' opinion
"Regardless of the A6’s long body, it feels nimble and light-footed. But apart from its superb handling, just being inside it will make you feel like your problems are very far away. From the quietness of the cabin to the tactile quality of every surface, the A6 is pure sophistication."

What is the Audi A6 like inside?
"The A6 range is perfectly equipped for long journeys with new convenience functions. The seats are all-new. The A6 offers leather/leatherette upholstery and electric seats with memory as a standard feature. The top-of-the-line Audi S6 contains sport seats as standard equipment, however optionally available are S sport seats or the customized contour front seats with numerous adjustment functions, optionally fitted with ventilation and massage function. The panoramic glass sunroof (standard for S6 models) floods the interior with light. The luggage compartment, with its capacity of 530 litres will accommodate two golf bags crosswise, while the trunk lid can be closed electrically with a kicking motion, optional on the A6 but standard on the S6."- Audi
