“It’s still a strong engine and, on a fine chassis, it was easy to forget about the larger tail.”

“The hybrid power is directed through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox to a permanent four-wheel-drive system, which at extra cost can be specified with a sport central differential to sharpen the car’s agility in corners.”

Score: 8 / 10
“Overall, the A6 is a convincing effort. The 2.0 TDI will be the mainstay, and there’s an argument for specifying it with as little optional hardware as possible.”

“This fifth-generation Audi A6 seems to represent an interesting shift in thinking. A deliberate decision, perhaps, to put the handbrake on its attempts to play ‘anything you can do’ with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, and to head back towards the approach that made its cars so revered, in their way, a quarter-century ago.”

“It’s refined, luxurious and long-legged at a cruise, but rich mid-range torque and a rear-biased if secure chassis make it highly engaging point-to-point.”

“The A6 is a great place to spend time. It’s quiet, comfortable, well-appointed inside, has a tech list just this side of the USS Enterprise and is very spacious – all you need if you’re a middle management type.”

“Does the Audi A6 finally have an edge over the 5 Series and E-Class? We reckon it does. The BMW is still the sharper drive and the Mercedes still the most opulent. But the A6 is the most sophisticated executive car you can buy.”

“The 2.0-litre diesel will make more sense for the majority of people. Resist paying more for the V6 diesel, though – not only is it expensive, the gearbox is frustrating and the car feels noticeably heavier than the four-cylinder diesel.”

“Good looking and ultra high-tech, but strangely bloodless executive saloon. The cabin is beautifully presented but the technology tricky to master via touchscreens. Stay away from the gormless calibration of the V6 diesel and buy the new four-cylinder diesel with front drive and little of the headline technology and you’ll have a fine car.”

“The steering is positive, the brakes strong, and if you option up the four-wheel steer and sports diff, you get a car capable of disguising its mass like a funhouse mirror.”
