How does the car drive?
German precision and scrupulousness are reflected in the behavior of the new Audi A6. The car picks up speed willingly and clearly follows the instructions of the driver. She also behaves confidently when cornering.
The novelty has received many electronic assistants that warn of dangers on the road. Among them is “Pre Sense City”. This system slows down the car in case of an obstacle on the way (another car or a pedestrian). The security system is equipped with cruise control, lane keeping and 360-degree visibility sensors. An additional option is Audi Side Asist, which prevents the passenger from opening the door if another vehicle is approaching from his side.

Handling and off-road performance
After the generational change, the German 2021 Audi A6 received significantly more precise, improved steering. This manufacturer was able to achieve by equipping the new model with a different chassis, making the car more maneuverable. On straight lines, the “German” confidently stays in the lane, and enters turns without any rolls and attempts to break from a given trajectory.
The off-road capabilities of a car in any body type cannot be called brilliant. Of course, a good ground clearance and the presence of many traffic assistants allow the car to overcome problem areas of an asphalt or dirt road, but it’s clearly not necessary to count on driving through a swampy gap, a sandy or rocky area.
Interior and controls
The high technologies implemented in the new executive sedan provide maximum comfort with a minimum number of parts. There is nothing superfluous inside, the interior does not seem overloaded with decorative elements. Other features include:
- two large 8.6″ and 10.1″ HD touchscreens, perfectly aligned with the front panel;
- Audi virtual cockpit with 12.3″ display and impressive personalization functionality;
- a simple and convenient MMI control system that allows you to move and fix auto functions on the touch screen like application shortcuts on your phone.
In addition, the MMI system allows you to create up to seven driver profiles, each of which can store up to 400 vehicle settings. Management is simple, to use any function just a few touches. Activating them requires pressing the touchpad with some force – this measure provides security and prevents accidental unwanted pressing of the virtual button.
