Compare the Audi A6 Avant vs Audi A5 Avant
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Audi A5 Avant and Audi A6 Avant place you in a low driving position compared to an SUV, but each provides good outward visibility. Up front, the front seats in both estates slide back far enough that even basketball players can get comfortable, and each features a responsive, slick 14.5-inch touchscreen alongside fingerprint-magnet shiny black trim. In the back, both cabins make life tricky for a middle passenger with a narrow, raised centre seat and a large floor tunnel, though each offers practical 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats that lie completely flat. Safety is a shared strength, as both earned five-star Euro NCAP crash-test ratings. On the road, diesel variants in both models sound noisy, but when cornering, the A5 Avant stays composed with not too much body lean, whereas the A6 Avant suffers from quite a lot of body lean.
