- This is the Audi A6! Are you on the lookout for a luxurious saloon but don’t have the money to splash out on an A8? Then look no further! The A6 is suitably comfortable and comes packed full of tech, but with a price tag that’s almost half that of an A8! The question is, is it a class leader when there’s such strong competition coming from the likes of the Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series? Join Mat for his latest review to find out!

"Just click up there" would do really

@@mnoovurvi Correct
Meanwhile Porsche makes you pay extra for round wheels and see thru windows
Iv yet to see anything pop for me to click. Maybe because I’m watching from usa??
I'll come back to this vid in 10years, when I'll be able to afford this one used. Stunning looking car.
if you need to wait that long to afford something like this, you probably won't be able to afford the repair bills. better off going Kia or Toyota.
good luck with fixing it up by that time. starting with pulling the engine
Judging from Audi’s design record, nobody will be able to tell the difference
Yeah sigh. Id say most of those third hand audis be a scruffy base model because people have poor taste and no appreciation youd be wanting something else.
Mate i have the 10y old version and it”s brilliant for the money i paid ! Its a v6 3L tdi with about 290 hp and 130000 and runs like new !!
So ya fuck those Toyota or what ever Chinese KIA German stays German
With a car wow saving of 6 thousand pounds you can afford rear cup holders
What is all this fuss about cup holders.... Enjoy the car... The engine... Interior.. Fuking Noone cares about cupholdes 😅
@@miyabe_k195 Except maybe someone who wants to drive without having to stop to drink water? Maybe? Oh right, no-one cares about hydration, thirst is the way to go.
Miyabe_K people who actually get takeaways from McDonald’s and kfc for example, if a golf has cup holders why would someone pay £200 or whatever it is for the cup holders in the rear and to get 2 usb slots in the back also? This is all standard stuff in cheaper cars. Major disappointment really
@@miyabe_k195 Well, actually people do care about cupholders
@@shroomyesc you know that the cupholders in the front are standard don't you? Only the ones in the back armrest are optional. So unless you drive in the back I don't think you'll have much problems with water. Oh and don't forget you have space for bottles on the doors as well.
Although I am an E-Class owner, to my eyes, the A6 is by far the best looking car in this class and I love the interior too. It's becoming quite a joke how many manufacturers have fake exhausts these days - you would think with all the money they spend designing & developing these cars that they would have found a better design solution - LOL! Great review, Mat, and I agree with your recommendations too!
I think your version of the E class is the best looking by far ❤
Please do a comprehension between the new Audi a6, bmw 5 series , Mercedes e class
@Marko Beast I don't think so, I like the e klass more even the c klass looks better for me
@@worlow1841 looks is just an opinion ... and doesnt define which car is better
Comparison?
Seems that i made the right decision by going for the g30
@@aukustihalonenn Of course Audi has engines that don't work absolutely perfectly. Every manufacturer has better and worse engines. Though, the 3.0 TDI you get with the new A6 is one of Audi's engines with a rather good reputation, so there should not be a problem with getting a new A6.
I can't afford it. But I love keep watching your videos. It motivates me in my education.
Lol
@@period5304 To afford things he likes.
@@period5304 I'm not promoting what he said. I just feel if that is the way he wants to go about in life, so be it.
As the life belongs to me, I do whatever I want. I actually don't want to give others excuses as long as I don't make them trouble.
To let you both know, I'm not an Indian. Also, not from your country.
I educate my self to achieve the wealth I expect. As long as I earn in the right and fair way, nobody should make it an issue.
Good luck
@Sparky shit in the pit
Just to let you know, Matt, the wing mirrors do automatically dip down when you put it into reverse, as long as you have the mirror that you want to dip selected on the mirror adjustment knob.
Yes
Amazing review and I love the new longer videos! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
@@carwow It is my pleasure.
I didn't write that comment but I was thinking it! :)
@@GammaWraith Lmao
Its better than watching tv
@@carwow hello Mat 🙂 i drive today 40 and 50tdi and c8 is better to drive whit 7speed S tronic in 40 than 8 speed zf in 50tdi imo; how it seems to you?
Just recently found your channel, and wish I had found it sooner. You make automobile reviews interesting and fun to watch. Too many reviewers take themselves too seriously. You're approach is ideal. I especially liked your review of the Mercedes E450, since I bought one. Looking forward to all your reviews.
No luxury car has passed Mat’s “cheap bit of plastic” test. He always finds a piece 😂😂
No bmw did
@@eunicesaed6482 which video I have to see it?
@@dmitryogrady2004 bmw 5 series
Love the new A6. Best in class for me. Great review.
Excellent review with real world tests, great work 👍👍
A6, 5 series and E class are all amazing cars it really comes down to personal preferences. 5 series for me.
Ok goomer
What about Cadillac CTS / CT5?
@@parkerpro3583 cadillac isn't German and that's all that needs to be said. get a German car ;)
@@parkerpro3583 its not german, all i need to say
Great video Mat. Thank you for reviewing my favourite car 👍🏾
Love the way you break down each model
Just bought one Matt on the back of your review.. can't wait for my 50 tfsi .. thanks for the honest and great review
No one can review a car like you Matt 👍👍👍
Audi probably the only car company that charge you an extra cash for FREAKING CUPHOLDERS
Honestly, I have never used one in my entire life, so I like having the option to leave them out
On my RS3, folding mirrors were a £275 option!
Bullshit! This is very common in the car industry. Not everyone uses or needs cupholder all around the interior. Really a "big problem"..., isn't it? LOL
Porsche : im gonna end this man's whole career
While speaking of that, Porsche charges extra for a rear window wiper on a panamera. I repeat, a rear window wiper is not standard on a 100,000$ car. (as we all know Porsche is in the same family as Audi and therefor it uses the same business model)
Loved seeing this review! I have wanted it for a while. Really hoping to see a Toyota Aygo review!
Transporter Series comes to mind. Great video Mat.
Need to review in estate / Avant mode really as that’s the biggest seller. I had A6 Quattro Avant from 2007-2011 110k faultless miles, brilliant in snow and so comfortable on long motorway trips. I see front/rear sensors are standard now, that’s smart as they are big old cars. Would very happily have another.
Hey Matt
Could you do a video how you get comfy in a car. I really have a problem with this when driving different cars but you must be an expert since you drive different cars all the time
Thanks a lot :) love the videos
You want to jack up your under thigh support/the front of the seat (more like under knee support) as high as possible as if you're in a lawn chair. Gives you the most support/comfort
Love from Sri Lanka to Mat Watson... The man who motivate me everyday with these beautiful cars...😍😍😍
I love ur reviews and especially the carwowa stick of truth
Apart from the pleasure of seeing a very beautiful family car...one can appreciate the very well done video with lot of details, transitions, info, angles, narrative... very nice ✌️
Looks very nice indeed, and Matt was really scraping the barrel to find five things he didn't like. I have an A4 that is 3 years old now, one of the first of the current generation, and I'm happy to see that they've got driver profiles now, since that was my biggest criticism of my car - it has two profiles for the seat positions, but I thought that should be extended to things like the music selection, and at last they've agreed with me! :)
"It's a storage space where you can put something and forget about it."
That is EXACTLY the kind of feature I have always been looking for. :)
*goes ahead and puts the kids in it*
You are the best this undeniably
Correction - mirror will dip when reversing if you select the left mirror with the adjuster. Had the S-line Avant for 4 months and done 4,000 miles and love it. Black is also a good colour so no need to spend extra on the paint either.
3 touchscreens. I am sure those will stand the test of time just fine.
yeah, zero reason for the climate controls to be a touchpad. dont they realize that people actually like some buttons?
@Scott Neufeld I meant digital screens. My remark still stands.
HAHA
The virtual cockpit screen is NOT touch sensitive
LCDs trypically last 10s of years without a problem. They are hardly that high tech.
My Audi A3 had to go in for repair two days before Covid lockdown and I had a brand new one of these as a courtesy car.. I was shielding for 3 months and could not drive it. It was on my drive for 2 months until mine was repaired. I sat in it a few times but in total I drove it about 30 miles in 2 months. It was great,
Have had my A6 for 18 months have the sport model that has good kit. Just ordered my next but it's going to be the Sline version. Love it that's why I ordered another one to be delivered in November. Have had no problems form the car and covered over 20k miles already.
So my mk7.5 golf gets adaptive cruise as standard. Yet it's apart of a £2000 pack on an A6?
Typical Audi.
Don't be surprised if Audi will soon start to charge you for a steering wheel...
My Golf GTD mark VI automatically lowered its mirror when backing up too.
Edit: GTD not GTE! Do I look like someone who would buy an electric car!?
That's how "Luxury" car manufacturers get you. They charge premium on features on a premium car. It's so dumb but that's how they make so much cash
They are recovering all fines paid fr diesel scam
At "7:40", Matt you don't need to put one of the child seats in front so the person in the middle of back seat to be more comfortable, you just put that person in the front seat and the job is done.
Nice Lexus ES in background when reverse parking 👍🏿👌🏿
This is top 3 on your list. Thanks for he video.
Any news when you get a chance to review the e-tron?
I saw one last week and I was literally shocked, what a striking beautiful looking car, it looks so substantial and it has so much presence that it looks like a spaceship. This A6 could be one of the best looking cars right now. Impressive.
Peter Gonzalez until next gen S Class come out
Wait until aliens land in your backyard!
I agree and have had fun with my top spec audi A6 for a year now... Absolute master piece of engineering
For those wondering about cupholders in the back armrest. There is door bins on both doors in the backseat area
Yesterday I saw a new, black A6 S-Line with beautiful 20" S-Line wheels. Across the road was a G30 5 Series with an M Sport pack. Yes, I'm a big BMW fan, but that A6 made the 5 Series look so dull. It really stands out and it looks great. Now, that Bimmer had 18" rims I think and it was white, but yeah, new A6 definetly stands out(unlike the A8 which I also saw in person and I find it a bit boring and, well, not good-looking). Can't wait for an exec. saloon comparison!
A8 does look boring, no doubt. But the wheel size? Who cares if its 19 or 20
A7>A8>A6.
@Death Star II Čakovec. 😉
@Death Star II Polak kurwas everywhere
@@valgehiir we aren't Polish, dumbass.
And yes a mega saving through car wow great video as always mate.
Something about the design of this A6 in particular and its subtle cues that RESONATE ..!
Feels like an extension of the self.
A very luxurious car with a cheaper price. Looks good and it looks like Audi A8. This is amazing. 😊
Have owned the Avant version of this since December and I love it. I've had two of the previous generation A6 (C7) and the new model is a huge leap in refinement, dynamics and technology. Thoroughly recommended 👍
Hi there, does the dash rattle (as it seems it is hallowed and some reviewers claimed that)?
@Franc Martins yes mine did after a while, the only negative. It starting not long before I traded it in with Audi, so never bothered having it looked at
Nice review like always
I still think it’s impressive how fast cars have become, our old audi a6 c4 1.9tdi (the first gen a6) did 0-100 in 14 seconds
Have you ever noticed that where Mat is touching (7:43) the Audi grill is mimiced just like on the steering wheel!!
Matt we love you
I love the review. And wanna know your verdict about A6 Avant! Thank you in advance. ;D
Thanks for the video!
Honestly the A5 B9 is the best looking and best performing in Audi's new generation cars. Think about it, huge upgrade from its previous A5 B8, it is a sportback which gives it that Coupe look, and it looks very aggressive and sporty. Would much rather have an A5, S5 or RS5 than any of A6 - A8
What about the stick of truth?
.

Wait, it's at 10:59. For a moment I got scared he will not comment on exhaust sacrilege.
It’s a joy to watch him drive
Wow what a really good car love the back light!
The Safety Pack is MORE than the Tech Pack 😂 Audi clearly values it's customers safety 🥇
Reminds me of Boeing
@@visionist7 now that you've said that , I remember that too.
its
touch screens < dials and knobs
I like screens but climate control in the screen controls doesn’t make any sense at all
You should realize how shallow and image-fixated the average customer is. To most people Touch-screens = Expensive High tech = High status = something they can show off discretely. Buttons look old and outdated to the average non-car-person.
I took a course in product psychology. Most people (often subconsciously) choose the product that increases their perceived social status. Usually this means designing something to look expensive, not necessarily to look good. This explains a lot of modern SUV-design. Ugly and brash, but looks very expensive (Porsche Cayenne for example).
That is the real reason why touch screens are so popular.
You have to have the mirror switch turned to the left hand (right hand in the US) side when you're reversing in order for the passenger door mirror to dip when you put it in reverse. It's been that way on all Audis for at least five years.
Can you do a review on Alpina B7....would love that review
Cant wait for new Mazda 3 video
I've now had my A6 14 months and covered just over 7000 miles. It has been back to main dealers three times where it had to have major headlight updates that took 3 days to complete. The rear near side door handle mechanism malfunctioned and had to be replaced, and my latest gripe is the noise and judder you experience in the car when making a manoeuvre that requires full left or right lock. I went all out when purchasing this car, it has Quattro drive full air suspension and four wheel steer. The reason for the car shudder I am told by both my dealer and HQ AUDI UK, this is to be expected as the diff between the rear and front wheels can cause this anomaly. Well nowhere in the handbook or was it ever explained to me when buying this car that this is the norm. I must also say that whilst the four wheel steer does aid in the turning, the air suspension does not warrant the extra expense paid on the vehicle.
Overall I'm somewhat dissatisfied and disappointed with my car and perhaps after 2 A6's and 2 A7's it could be the parting of the waves for myself and Audi
Do video comparing the a6, e class and 5 series please.
5:36 You haaaaaaaave absolutely massive.
That "have" cut sounded hilarious.
"My new carwow curved stick of truth"😂
Love the car . Exhausts a let down . Will stick to my b9 version for now .
Love my A6 Avant S-line 40TDI.
Congrats on 2 Million
Think it’s about time we had a video explaining Audi’s crazy new badging system, if you can get your head round it yourself🤣
Amir Afzal makes people who don’t know think you have a bigger engine than you do
Best in it's class!
I remember the E55, M5, RS6 wars in 2004...the 6 has always been the 5 series and eclass competitor.
Howdy, great review as always!😸😸
Just picked up an A6 yesterday and here you are reviewing the same car. Never tell me the odds.
6:26 i think it is for toll smart tag
@mattwatson, how much of an improvement is the ride and handling over the C7 platform?
Can you do a review of the mini John Cooper works please? would really like your opinion on that car thanks. Love your reviews btw 😀
Madhan wife told This is not luxury car ..But am big fan Audi a 6...very upsetting m.
The fakest fake exhaust I've ever seen
If a fake exhaust is so fake, then maybe it’s real
Michael Vuong AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Why did they even bother? I'd be perfectly fine with no exhaust than fake exhausts.
@@imty8774 focus groups tell them that buyers like fake exhaust. So instead of going with common sense, they mold these plastic atrocities
@@valgehiir that's the shit I hate even in the gaming industry. Thet just want to ram bs down our throats and call it a trend.
am keep on watching yr verdicts,hopefully will meet the 'avoid it'
Matt are ever going to do a Ford Edge STline video??
Been waiting for you to do one👍🏼
2:15 people WILL touch there now because you have already mentioned it lol!
6:43 179 centimeters. Thank god you finally use some metric units for the ENTIRE world :P
Thanks carwow i have been watching your videos for 2 years and i watch your videos only, i got used to watch carwow only
As a owner of a 2013 audi a6 3.0t I would like to see how it matches up against C5,C6 and C8 like you have done with the R8's. I'll be watching for it
In my opinion, the A6 avant looks event better than saloon version, which is already stunning
Agree
I own a 2011 Audi A8 and a 2010 535xi .i have no bias and to be honest I feel the current 5 series is the best in class .
Retro game room Reviews 90% of reviews agree :)
Having lived with a g30 5 series for three years , now replacing it with an a6 avant, as it really underwhelmed me and my family
Now that is what u call insane awesome
Hi Mat, could you get an s6 plus in? Or an s6, that would be an interesting review, perhaps out it up against the s8 or rs7 and rs5, its quite rare, love your reviews, i can't get enough lol, I'd be quite shocked if you could get one
Common climate controls on a touchscreen? No thanks. Just stick to dials. Pain in the ass to use a screen when driving, and will be even harder in that position.
it is easy to lose your hard in some positions
The New A6 Is 100% Better Than That Previous Generation Thing
Slothie_Playz yeah previous generation is ugly
Good job bro
How come that the cupholders in this test car have a closing lid, while so far all I have seen in aluminium interior decor - were without one? Is it something added in 2019 model?
i think a touareg vs q7 vs cayenne video would be cool, as they are basically the same car made by volkswagen
The new touareg is nice with the 400hp v8
What you think about ULEZ charge in central London.. ?
This car I believe will be exempt as diesels made after 2015 are safe. I just hope the 2021 expansion to the whole city doesn't happen otherwise I'd have to sell my car as I can't afford a newer diesel
@@zaink7037 It's been confirmed that it will take place on the 25th October 2021
@@matthewk9131 only hope now is that sadiq Khan isn't reelected next year. Shaun bailey stated he will not bring the expansion zone outwards as he knows itll effect the low incomers. I don't know though how many of us like these Conservatives
I bought one about a month ago. Saved 18% with car wow on a 40 TDI Sport with the tech pack. Phenomenally good car. Literally perfect.
Matt Watson, is this your fake account? 😂😂
It's the Audi that makes most sense to me. Nice in that classy blue-black. Even more impressed with the 2 older all black police (?) A6s I saw speeding from the lights today near Bedford Sq London...
You're absolutely right about the ridiculous extra list for Audis.
Oh and the wireless charger ... does little more than warm the cellphone. Trust me I have that option (part of the tech pack) ...
So you are gonna mention that volvo v90/s90 doesn't have power adjusted steering wheel but you are not gonna mention it here? Hmmm 🤔
Seats also. I am actually disappointed with this A6.
FYI You mentioned you wished the passenger mirror automatically adjusted when you reverse to prevent kerbing the wheel, well it does.
And I'm sure for all A6s like mine, what you need to do is, firstly put the vehicle in reverse, adjust your left mirror to desired viewing angle. When you take vehicle out of reverse and select drive, the vehicle mirror will automatically readjust to the view prior to be put into reverse. Remember for this to work then going forward, it will only work when the passenger mirror is selected with the rotary knob on the drivers door. Hope this helps some of you 😊
I love Audi ! I like watching carwow!
Touch screens are so distracting while driving and fiddly to use - get unsightly with finger marks too. Long live the rotary wheel input!!! One of the reasons I got an eclass estate with widescreen command over the A6
