Audi A6 practicality and boot space
- Five-star Euro NCAP crash-test rating
- Vast suite of driver-assistance kit
- The A6 should be a safe family car
Audi's reputation for producing safe cars is reinforced with the A6 Saloon, as illustrated by its five-star Euro NCAP crash-test score. Previous versions have also been impressive in this regard, and Audi has added a vast array more kit to this generation.
Standard safety kit includes:
- Side, front, rear and head airbags
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Rear-view parking camera
- Full automatic LED headlights
- Automatic emergency braking
- Lane-departure warning
- Cruise control with speed limiter
On top of all that, the following are available as optional extras:
- Matrix or HD Matrix LED headlights
- Headlamp cleaning system
- Traffic sign recognition
- Head-up display – this doesn’t work with polarised sunglasses, though
- Night vision – displayed on Virtual Cockpit
- Automatic parking
- Rear side airbags
You’ve also got the City Assist Pack, which adds sensors that will stop the car moving a collision is detected, and the Driver Assistance – Tour Pack, which nets you adaptive cruise control, a feature to tell you when to take your foot off the throttle to save fuel, lane-departure warning, traffic sign recognition and automatic high-beam headlights.
WATCH: Audi A6 Saloon Euro NCAP crash test
- More room for passengers
- Wider boot opening
- Shouldn’t be troublesome to park
The A6’s cabin is bigger than before and very cleverly designed, which helps to maximise practicality. Our testers noted it’s possible for tall adults to sit line-astern with ample leg and headroom, but the middle back seat is a little snug and probably best used for the armrest hidden in its back, which features a cubby and two cupholders.
You’ve got two more cupholders up front, a covered cubby between the front seats and generously sized glovebox and door pockets.
The 2018 Audi A6 not only has a larger overall boot capacity than the previous model, and exactly the same size as its main rival the BMW 5 Series, but it’s also got a wider opening, at 1,194mm.
A powered bootlid is an optional extra, and can be remote-operated via the car’s key.
The rear seats will fold down as standard, and it’s likely a ski hatch will be available too.
