For me and how I drive it is perfect. I test drove on today and was impressed.

This is what Motor Trend videos should be like--completely devoted to the car that we're looking at. No Top Gear-esque attempts at comedy or complicated plots for what should only be a nice commentary with tons of info and beautiful photography. Nicely done, Jonny Lieberman.

i love the audi interior.. just perfect

Awesome job! He needs to do more reviews... we got all the info that REALLY matters, and he made it fun.

Man those 5 spoke dark finished rims and LED headlights are freaking gorgeous

Did you see that? The LED day time running lights switch to yellow to act as a turn signal. Looks pretty cool.

That is, perhaps, the greatest interior masterpiece in production ever. Just wait till Audi releases a string of ads saying the A6 is infinitely cooler than the E-class, albeit every other competitor.

AN ORGY OF TECHNOLOGY

@Jmoneyy100 The A6 will eventually have a V8 option. It is called the S6 and will have Audi's new V8 that is also used in the S7 and S8. However, don't worry, because the price of the S6 will be on par with the price of the BMW 550i with equal performance.

Great review. Very concise and that's how all reviews should be. Good job motortrend

The centre console looks exactly the same as the BMW M5. Love the lights.

Please. No more Audi. Seeing these BEAUTIFUL cars and knowing I can't afford it is just absolute torture.

Another excellent video Motor Trend!! Keep it up!!

@ronmann606 I bed to differ. Specific bolt-ons void only the parts being replaced and not the entire powertrain. Very few (if any) manufactures are that stringent. Visit the audi forums and see comments from owners if you disagree.

Lacking steering feel? Maybe. But you forgot to mention, it's the highest griping car in its calls and its cornering speed is very high.

@ImN0TaCat No. He said Buon giorno, which means Good Day in Italian.

OH Man! great review. exactly what an editor should talk about!

Great review! Give that gentleman a RAISE!

Since I drive my A6 am a younger man, more handsome and wealthy. It's so sexy! This car is magic! Try it!

I like it. I might have to get an A6 again, it finally looks good again. I love the features on it. No V8 option :( Nice to see Liberman on here.

make this your ONLY review guy!!!!!

@ronmann606 True. That supercharged V6 should respond well to mods though. Spending a few grand on pulley swap, CAI, exhaust, and tune should solve power train shortcomings.

@awhodatt why does he need a raise if he gets to go to all the great places to see cars?!

@duvaldrummer European cars in the US get less engine options than in their "motherland" because, for a big part, Diesel engines are, for whichever reason, not really popular in the US. And Diesels usually make up about half of all engines available in the Euro spec models. The other reason is that Americans don't really like 4-cylinders in their full-size sedans and prefer V6's or V8's. (even though todays 4-cylinders offer about the same ammount of power like V6's did a few years ago)

@rforracing Have you been in either a Genesis? Hyundai did a fantastic job of stepping up their game and trying to change its image. That said, the interior simply isn't up to par with comparable German cars. They aren't bad by any measure, but the Genesis' materials don't look or feel as high-quality as they are made out to be. As for the 2.0T engine, it has never been described as underpowered. Automobile magazine said its performance was significantly better than its numbers suggested.

@rforracing It has all-wheel-drive. Ever heard of Quattro? As for gearboxes, you don't seem to have listened to the video: the A6 has an 8-speed auto and according to you, so does the Genesis. As for horsepower, I guarantee you wouldn't be able to notice a 23 hp difference (Also, remember that the Audi's engine capacity is smaller). BTW, I am not an A6 fan (I prefer the 5-series), but I think you should check your facts.

You forgot about the 3.0 Turbo Diesel. Like the 8 speed automatic transmission. I rented a 2018 TDI in Germany and the Google maps was cool. The navigation display can be trans to the instrument panel. The vehicle holds it own on the Autobahn but wish I could have had my US spec 3.0 SuperCharged instead of the Turbo Diesel.. Great for economy but would have liked to test out top speed or clos as can be done on the AutoBahn in a normal supercharged V6. Dynamics are good and reasonably well laid out. MMI takes some getting used to but make a note for US models.... My service loaner for the Takata Airbag Recall was a US spec A4. Same basic design just different sizes. The cup holders were well ahead of the shifter and all the risk of spilling any liquid, coffee, soda, water even condensation from the cup was concentrated over the MMI and electronic shifter. Thankfully the A6 either got smart or decided to leave them back near the driver to begin with. Had a 2012 and the MMI screen froze...fortunately froze open.

That Quartz is a sick color.

This guy did a great job!

@ddnn3 - they are competing with the 528's small engine. Now that the A6 is lighter than the 5 series... it only makes sense - especially since that engine has more torque than the BMW.

maybe they will offer the dual clutch with the S6 when it comes out next year

Great review and what neat features that car has.

the flaws not withstanding (no DCT?!?) the one with the 5 spokes looks pretty sick

@MajkeTiTvoje Just seems like that engine should be reserved for their smaller cars. IMO the A6 is a luxury sedan German ubercruiser, and should have the smooth power delivery of a bigger engine. Hopefully the 2.0t version will offer much a cheaper and more competitive price.

what a great review. can he please do all the upcoming ones too?

Some very cool stuff in a nice looking package.

I dont know, but the 2.0 TFSI (180 hp), 2.0 TFSI (211 hp) will still have optional quattro. The 2.8 FSI too.

@Johncarson9113 20 MPG may not be your main concern. But taxes depending on your CO2 emissions is.

this guy should be on top gear america

@luimarco Yeah, but this version of the A6 isn't really the one to compare to a 550i or E550. You'll have to wait for a more powerful engine which will definitely come sooner or later. Or even the Audi S6.

Wow!! I feel like Motor Trend is actually listening to my comments and they're not putting out STUPID videos anymore. COOL!!! While they're not perfect, they're a LOT better than they used to be!! :^)

@bichoorojo - No VW has this platform that the A6 is on...

@90Mrknowitall Why would V8's become obsolete just because 4 bangers and V6s are becoming more efficient? As if just because there are 8 cylinders you can't apply the same fuel saving tech? Plainly that isn't true.

cars are starting to look more and more like they transform into earth crushing human shaped robots

How many times is the number plate going to change in this video? I saw at least 3 6001 6002 and 6051.

So what, the E350 and 535i both have far better steering? Who cares anyway? As long as I can point the car where I want it to go, steering "feel" isn't a big deal.

great camera work!

any ownership reviews or advice on buying one in 2020?

Great job on the review. Not an audi fan, but the car is very nice.

@kthorstrejka yeah cool tell me when Audi finally makes a sedan worth driving??! If your shopping in the luxury segment, 20 MPG or higher isn't going to be your main concern, hence the fact why it is a Luxury SPORTS car. Otherwise buy a Lexus hybrid if MPG is your main priority. The 2012 Infiniti M35H is a hybrid that makes 360 horsepower and it achieves 32 MPG, if a hybrid can make 360 HP I'm sure an Audi can achieve a fuel efficient V6 with more HP.

What happened to cars that had a key to them, a steering wheel the driver actually had to turn and a pedal to make the car go? Seeing all this technology in cars make me want to buy an old car not a new one.

I like the new A6 but it looks so similar with the A4/S4 that you can barely tell. I can tell the difference between an E-Class and a C-Class easily, but this? nope. But the interior is a delight.

@ronmann606 Yeah but the true enthusiast will at the very least throw on some bolt-on's. A few aftermarket bolt-on's void the entire warranty?

too many electronics, there is a beauty in simplicity

@Jmoneyy100 My frienD, the usa don't have the S6 with 450 hp?? This isn't a problem, the new A6 with MTM do 0-62 in 5 seconds.

i think they do offer quattro in 2.0t, only the lowest option without it.

You can buy two A6s with some options for the base price of an M5. Obviously the M5 is going to win a bad comparison

can i ask you how you can get a car that isn't available yet like the new audi a6 ?

love the front, dislike the rear.

Great review

Cool interior

I like this guy. Good stuff.

great presentation! graci'

why is the beam of light longer one side at 2:58

Audi's just look to round around the edges to me. I want something bold and stunning and i never really see that in Audi

I thought Audi was all about bringing to the US diesel engines with those ads of barrels of oil rolling back into the ship. Or was that VW I don't quite remember.

Pretty nice Audi!!! Job well done

@kthorstrejka I have nothing good to say about the 528i other then its over all driving dynamics and exterior design. I like Audi dont get me wrong but they suffer to compare with the excellent driving dynamics of a BMW. Audi lacks the athleticism found in many other competitors. The A6 only has two engine variants which are hardly viable alternatives to a BMW 550i, Infiniti M56 or Mercedes E550. You cant compare the handling of an Audi to a BMW. However I do agree Audi is the leader of design

Wow, they went backwards in time for design but found themselves in Japan.

@duvaldrummer Same thing I was thinking, especially considering we are one of the largest markets......However, the lower horsepower engines probably wouldn't sell in America anyways....

One of the better reviewers. That said... You can't see the HUD with Polarized Sunglasses on? There goes 90% of all Audi owners. LMAO jk jk! Someones going to be upset at that post. I'm obviously joking. You can't see ANY HUDs with polarized sunglasses, regardless of it being an Audi. Looks like a good car. I'm not a fan of FWD though.

what an awesome job...

good review

sunroof ??

@rforracing but who wants to own a Genesis, besides you?

such a good looking car, its fucking beautiful

Now that's an audi!

@Jmoneyy100 S6 will have a v8 i don't really see a reason IMO to have a v8 in S and non S form.

I could have sworn they just (last couple of years) redid this sedan?

Alot of the stuff he mentioned we are not getting :( like the air suspension, it is not even an option

Why isn't a v8 available for the u.s. market ? Mercedes, Infiniti, and BMW all have v8s. This could be a lose for Audi in this segment

I have an E60 5 series that's approaching 100K miles. So many choices now, if I was a chick the new E-Class would be a no brainer because Mercedes have the largest mirrors for applying makeup when you're on the go but since I was born with parts that dangle, I want a fast car with superior performance and this Audi is carrying some serious swag over the 5 series. Still I like the 5 Series design a little more. Those eyeliner LEDs never worked for me.

@voltarens whats his job?

Oh and why are the Germans screwing up on the steering? Car and Driver said the biggest flaw in the new BMW 5 series was the god-awful numb steering and now this dude says the whole Audi line suffers from uncommunicative steering. What the hell is going on??

I want an Avant!

dont like the front lights

why do so many car manufactures always dilute their cars for the US??

@Maserati7200 Easy, Audi shares plataform with VW

Under 2.000 kg is not C class weight ... it's E class weight

Orgy of technology?

@awhodatt if they gonna give raise to everyone after a good review, the company will go bankrupt

wow impressive

awesome...

i think the brights are stupid you better be able to turn them off because your going to blind people if there driving in front or going the oposite direction

No, the A6 of my uncle has FWD.

Audi FTW !

Good Car..

@awhodatt My thoughts exactly.

I like this guy...good review. Too bad the car disappointed.

dont like new front lights
