2016 Audi A6 Premium Plus

The A6 is Audi's mid-size luxury sedan, the one you cross-shop against the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Inside, the cabin is quiet and well-built, with supportive seats and a clean, intuitive layout, though the rear seat is snug for taller adults. Running costs run higher than mainstream sedans, with premium fuel and pricey maintenance, but owners say the driving experience is worth it. The Premium Plus skips the Prestige's adaptive headlights and ventilated seats but keeps the navigation, heated seats, and keyless entry that matter most. With the 2.0L I4 making 252 horsepower and all-wheel drive, this A6 gets to 60 mph smoothly and returns 26 mpg combined. Audi drive select lets you sharpen the throttle and steering response, though the suspension stays comfort-oriented even in Dynamic mode.
