For The A6 Avant is a smart, spacious estate. The cabin is beautifully built and the boot is a good size. Refinement is first rate and the engines are encouragingly frugal.
Against Although the margins are slim, the Audi A6 is not as solid a buying and owning prospect - or as good to drive - as a BMW 5 series.
What Car? says
The A6 Avant is a quality estate with a spacious, beautifully built cabin. Refinement is excellent and the engines are smooth, powerful and efficient. Shame it’s not quite as good to drive as a BMW 5 series Touring.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Audi is renowned for diesel engines and the A6 is a great example of why. Our favourite model has a 168bhp 2.0-litre TDI engine that gives very respectable performance, but still averages the best part of 50mpg. It's not the cheapest model, but we think it's worth paying for.
On the other hand, anyone who's buying with company money may well be attracted by the 2.0-litre TDIe models, which have emissions of just 139g/km and a consequently low tax liability.
The petrol engines, meanwhile, are still pretty strong and will suit drivers with lower annual mileages - they aren't as frugal as the diesels and don't have such strong residuals, but they are cheaper to buy.
Whatever model you buy, you'll be getting one of the biggest cars in the executive estate class, backed up with superb build quality, plenty of equipment (for us, SE is the best balance of cost and kit) and a maximum five-star crash-test rating from Euro NCAP.
