2026 AUDI A6 SEDAN DRIVING REVIEW - MORE THAN BUSINESS AS USUAL?

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Audi A6 sedan (C9 generation) is reviewed as a capable and refined executive car, excelling in its driving dynamics and comfort, particularly on the Autobahn. The reviewer praises its silent operation at high speeds, improved sound insulation, and the smooth, comfortable ride offered by the optional air suspension, even with large 21-inch wheels. The V6 engine provides ample power and a sporty feel, enhanced by the Quattro Ultra system and optional sport differential. However, the interior design draws criticism for its excessive high-gloss black surfaces and a climate control interface that is deemed unintuitive. While build quality is generally high, minor cost-saving measures in materials are noted. The rear design is a point of contention, with the reviewer preferring the previous generation's styling. Despite these drawbacks, the A6 is highlighted as an "Autobahn machine" offering a blend of sportiness and comfort, though seating comfort is considered slightly less plush than a BMW 5 Series.
