Compare the Audi A5 vs Audi A6
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Audi A5 and Audi A6 make serene long-distance cruisers, keeping wind and road noise well isolated on the motorway. If you choose the diesel engine in either car, it settles into quiet cruising at speed, though both sound gruff or unrefined when you are pulling away or driving at lower speeds. In the cabin, both models feature touch-sensitive steering wheel controls that are easy to trigger accidentally, which can suddenly alter your audio volume. Carrying five passengers also presents a shared compromise, as the middle rear seat in both saloons requires you to sit straddling a sizable floor hump.
