Humans are picky creatures, and automobile customers even more so. They want a car that does everything. Whether they actually go and do it doesn’t matter. That’s why we live in an age where supercars have over 200 mm of ground clearance and there are SUVs that will never see an inch of dirt road. The problem with this is that you can’t make a car that does everything well. It goes against the laws of physics. And while manufacturers struggle to find a middle ground, to me it always just feels like a compromise. The Audi A6 is not a compromise. It’s a breath of fresh air and focus.
The Audi A6 had long been due for a complete overhaul. The competition had upped the game and the A6 had started to look old a few years ago. Well, looks are what greet you first with the new one. While it is still unmistakeably German (straight lines, serious and committed), it has embraced the current trend of sharper edges, smooth contours, and aggressive-ish lights. It doesn’t look bulbous and elongated anymore (though it is long, make no mistake), and the sleeker bonnet might have something to do with it. The new MATRIX LED headlights tend to squint at you, but are obviously fantastic when it comes to illuminating the world around. The creases on the bonnet, and along the side are subtle and understated. And the rear has the textured and dimpled tail-lights that are common on cars today. My favourite external feature, though? The wheels. The alloys have a new design which looks fantastic and has been finished in a brushed matte silver which is exquisite. I’m partial to matte colours. Everything should be matte.
