It features some of the most advanced new tech, and boasts a bolder design than before. But do these changes also reflect in the way the new Audi A6 drives? We find out.

2019 Audi A6 Six Appeal

Audi has been on something of a crusade in refreshing its top-end luxury machines of late. Last year saw a new A8 and A7 grace the market, and now there’s the new A6, the latest fresh face joining the German firm’s line-up. Much like its larger siblings, it’s more an evolution of the luxury saloon concept than a revolution, but there’s a lot to shout about. With the recent release of an updated BMW 5 Series and a now two-year-old Mercedes E-Class, Audi could be playing something of a game of catch up here. Is the A6 up to that task?

As to be expected, there’s a lot of new stuff going on here — most noticeably in the looks department. The A6 takes on the bolder design language introduced on the A8, bringing a sleeker appearance along with a much wider grille and fresh headlights. Under the bonnet, the A6 is the first-in-class to offer mild-hybrid technology across all of its engine choices as standard, while new suspension options have been introduced in an effort to create a more agile car. As for technology, self-learning navigation aims to create an optimal route based on your driving history, while centre console-based physical controls for functions such as air conditioning and audio controls have been replaced with touchscreen, utilising haptic feedback.
