The extremely limber body and refined cabin make the A6 the ideal choice for demanding drivers. The basic powertrain is a 2.02 turbo engine with 252 hp, seven-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive; Four-wheel drive with an eight-speed automatic transmission is optional. A 3.03-liter, turbo, 333-hp V6 engine with AWD is also available. A 7.0-inch infotainment system is standard; Technologies like Apple CarPlay, Android Car, Adaptive Cruise Control and Automatic Emergency Braking are optional.

The age of A6 is reflected in the MMI infotainment system, which is based on a separate touch panel for zooming in and out of maps, changing radio presets, and handwriting recognition. Still, it's one of the most intuitive settings available. However, in its new cars, Audi has changed this feature to the surface of a larger scroll control and eliminated the four submenu buttons below it.

The turbocharged six-cylinder engine of the Audi drives Bentley at idle and at low speed. Switch to dynamic mode, and only a librarian will yell at you. The exhaust is shut off and there is a soft grunt on the red line, where the eight-speed ZF moves in no time. On the left side, in automatic adjustment or comfort, the A6 simply glides without being disturbed by the imperfections of the road, despite the tighter suspension and 20-inch wheels.

A flat steering wheel is equipped. With adaptive cruise control and shared track maintenance between two steering column stanchions with a toggle switch in one, the system is competent enough to automate the car in slow traffic, but is difficult to adjust.

The materials and overall look are exemplary - another area where the A6 is as cool as ever - and the red and black piano seam of this sample demonstrates its serious ability without the extravagance of other sports facilities.
