Audi A6 cars

What types of used Audi A6 cars are there?

A used Audi A6 is an ideal option for something luxurious that has plenty of space for the family, and it boasts some great features.   

When the A6 first entered the executive vehicle market in the mid-90s, it immediately had some tough opposition from the likes of the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, both of which were already well-established.   

The A6's exterior offers excellent styling and class through the use of sharp lines and curvaceous body panels.    

Inside, this theme of ultra-luxury continues, with comfortable leather seats as standard and industry-leading technology and safety features.   

From mid-2018, Audi started to offer a plug-in hybrid model called the A6 TFSI e, which offers cutting-edge battery technology and aims to make way for more of Audi’s all-electric models further down the line. It was at this time that most petrol and diesel models started to get mild hybrid technology, too. 

Trim levels on offer include the Sport, S-Line and Black Edition.

What features does the Audi A6 have?

Inside, the A6 is very spacious and offers vast amounts of comfort and car tech.   

Because the A6 has featured facelifts over the years, the vehicles we sell may vary when it comes to tech options because Audi is always trying to improve its interiors.   

However, in newer models, you can expect to find two touchscreen displays, a digital radio, Bluetooth, a virtual cockpit display, a 360-degree parking camera, a Bang and Olufsen speaker system, Apple CarPlay connectivity and much more.   

As for the boot, the A6 saloon comes with a respectable 530 litres of space, but it's worth remembering that hybrid models will have slightly less space and estate (Avant) variants offer a much larger boot.  

Is the Audi A6 reliable?

The Audi A6 is built on the same platform as plenty of other Audi cars and a few others from Volkswagen and Porsche, which is testament to its extremely high build quality. 

It also uses many of the same engines as other Volkswagen Group models (VW owns Audi), so everything inside a used Audi A6 is tried and tested. 

How much does the Audi A6 cost to run?

Though earlier Audi A6 cars for sale might come with some 3.0-litre engine options, the 2.0-litre units are the pick of the bunch, with diesel versions likely to achieve around 50mpg on a long trip. 

Go for 2018-onward models for mild hybrid assistance, which cuts emissions and boosts mpg figures. 

Who is the Audi A6 suitable for?

A used Audi A6, whether in saloon or estate format, makes for an excellent family car because it’s so spacious and high-tech. However, if you spend a lot of time on the motorway and need something comfortable, checking which Audi A6 models are for sale is also a good shout. 

Its main rivals include the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Jaguar XF.
