Compare the Audi A6 Avant vs Audi A6
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between the Audi A6 Avant and the Audi A6 saloon comes down to how each handles everyday driving and long-distance trips. Both cars settle into remarkably quiet motorway cruisers with minimal wind noise, though in each version the diesel engine sounds a bit gruff or coarse when revved. Inside, both models fail to feel as solid as their predecessors, with scratchier lower plastics and fiddly touch-sensitive controls. Each also has plenty of space for two rear passengers, but a pronounced tunnel in the floor means a middle occupant in the back must sit straddled. Where they part company is on twistier roads: while the saloon feels secure with little body lean in the corners, the estate rolls noticeably through bends even in its stiffest suspension mode.
