These reviews are refreshing. Finally a motor journalist that does not act like a comedian. He is focused on the car and not himself. Well done Thomas. This is a great channel.
Appreciated!!
i dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Finn Brody Instablaster :)
@Finnley Dorian i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Finnley Dorian it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
You're easily the best car reviewer on youtube, Thomas!
Thanks for the support!
Genau❗
@@autogefuehl Fully agree. Always a great job!
One of the most beautiful interiors I've ever seen
Such an classic and extraordinary car!!! I have an Audi A6 3.0 V6 TdI from 2005!! It works amazing! Basically is not very different from 2019 (with the exception of super updated MMI and screens)!I am so proud of my Audi! The Lord Of the Rings!
In my opinion, the A6 has been the best Audi offered since the C6 generation. It balances a lovely interior with very high quality assembly. It is also the perfect size for an executive saloon.
Interior touch screens and piano black trim looks a lot like Porsche’s. Matte wood is also an excellent addition. Fantastic review as always!
One of the best and detailed A6 reviews I found (seen at least 10 by now from 4 countries). The guy is knowledgeable and lacks the BS other reviewers throw on you. In the mean time I took A6 test drive on 55TFSI Tektronic petrol, one step down from the highest level and I was very impressed. At 140 Km it was very quite and seamless. I wish I had the Autobahn in Ontario:). I currently drive a Lexus ES350 2016 Exec Package which is very quiet and powerful but obviously lacks the tech this A6 has, 4x4 traction, and aluminium body . It is a long way until I commit but ready to wait until the 2020 models go on significant discounts as Audi Canada does in December....
thanks! You re welcome here
Comprehensive, clear, and very constructive review - a pleasure to watch and learn from Thomas. Outstanding upgrade to prior A6.
thanks david!
Great review. The interior in this car is stunning. Looking forward to the new RS6!
Yay, 200kph! Thanks Thomas. The legend is back.
Nice ride... excellent review again Thomas. Look forward to the next!
Looks good. Thank you for the review, Thomas.
Keep up the good work Thomas. Best car reviewer on YT.
Thanks for the amazing video
Audi, Porsche and VW have designers that are really great artists! The Italians have their great designers too, and that's all in Europe and America! Like always, great review Thomas, and best regards to everyone at Autogefühl, you are the best in this field :)))
I love your reviews. You cover EVERY SINGLE THING
Thanks so much feel free to spread the word :)
I really love the level of detail Thomas goes in to for each car. Perfect for deciding what to buy in the future.
thanks pal, feel free to recommend !
You're a legend Thomas! Your attempts at humour are so german as well. hahaha. Keep up the great reviews!
=)
I've typically hated woodgrain in car interiors, but since manufacturers have started doing a matte finish on the wood instead of shiny resin it actually looks really nice and upmarket and I think I almost prefer it over anything else. Surprising how just the finish of the material can make such a dramatic difference to opinion.
i love your reviews Thomas. that a6 is almost as handsome and well dressed as you are.
Shannon Stjulien with fake exhaust :)
I was about to drink water, open youtube, see this
spill water everywhere....
just what I waited for.
I really want to see how the S6 and RS6 will look now with this new styling.. can't wait, awesome review as always Thomas!
Nice guy with good info on both the cars and the environmential view of things as well, no nonsense , this is so refreshing! Keep it up Thomas🙂
Great review
Understated perfection. Thx Thomas
I just picked up a new A6 a few days ago, replacing a fantastic 2017 A6. What a great car! I am surprised that the touch screens are so easy to use, as I was quite apprehensive. It is so very comfortable in every way. Performance is fantastic, but different than my prior car. Now that I have a feel for it, I love it. Thanks for the great review!
love your full reviews thomas, this is my most favorite channel on TH-cam for in depth reviews
👍👍👍
I would call the MMI: "Regression through technology". I really love the "old" MMI Systems (Q7, Q5, A4, A5, A3, Q2), because they work pretty good. With the last generation of the MMI you dont need to look and lean towards the MMI to change something very important like the climate control. In german I would call the new ones: Mehr Schein als Sein.
Omg.. his voice is such a pleasure to listen to. I could use it to help me fall asleep. In a good way. And such a handsome, well-dressed, man- like an Audi!
enjoy =)
Sharp looking as usual ...don't you think
I’ve always felt proud of the Mercedes e class with the feel and luxury but wow the A6 has blown my mind
Fantastic, thorough review of the new platform. I hope this new interior will migrate to the Q5/7 by the time we're in the market to get one.
You make a great point about Audi having so many AWD systems and that "Quattro" has really just become a marketing trademark.
Can you please do a separate video describing all of the current versions of Quattro that are available and their differences? That would be fantastic.
Thanks!
Vielen Dank für die Informationen
Thanks for another great Review! 👏
I really like the gentle evolution of the exterior design of the all new Audi A6. Now it looks even more refined than the former A6 and represents the Quattro history of the four rings. It comes even more close to perfection. The high-quality interior looks really futuristic and the touchscreen with haptic feedback is a good replacement of the “old buttons”. It´s definitely better and easier to control than a “normal touchscreen” because you can feel your settings. Now it is time to wait for the best models of the product-lineup: The driving parts with the all new A6 Avant and the upcoming RS6! 😍❤️
🙏🙏
Beautiful review of beautiful car
Again thanks to yu Thomas
Yu are always best for us
thanks m8 !
What a cool looking thing, and the A6 is pretty good too. Keep up the good work, Thomas! (PS, I agree about the traditional torque converter slush box being more durable.)
Hello, I congrat.for unique and impeccable presenation of the vehicle. I've come from very long family tradition of Audi. This model has reached excellency and is truly impeccable. It has everything you need!
Spread the word if you enjoy our work :)
Great work once again! Any idea when we'll see the A6 Avant?
Good review! Audi 2019 models are all beautiful (except for the fake exhausts)! Waiting to see the S and RS variants :))
Really detailed Review of the new A6 - thanks Team! Typical excellent & clear headed Thomas commentary on the irony and stupidity of the 'cheat-device', the non-simple question of all the different drive-trains, now clean VW diesels/dirty Nissan and other diesels versus filtered european petrols/dirty US petrols; and their various driving characteristics. Good insight as always Thomas!
Outside of this beauty with the interior of the a4 would be the perfect car for me. Not really a fan of everything going digital, a4 does this brilliantly
Thomas, a question would it be possible to do an episode where you discuss German attitudes and cultural differences (if any) between the big three premium car manufacturers Mercedes, BMW and Audi?
Great review Thomas, I would have the 50tdi.
Electric steering wheel column is a 400€ extra option. But it depends on the market because the standard equipment differs from market to market.
When you were driving 200 kmh i really could feel how “slow“ it feeled. Thats great for long exhausting journeys. A real transporter car 😋 Too bad they dont offer plug in hybrid for small trips like to supermarket which takes 1 km for example....
Deniz Di
I believe that's the air suspension doing the trick
Really an awesome technology
ANOTHER GREAT VIEDO from Thomas...……..
@@TheCrystalLakeKiller 🤪🤪🤪🤭✌🏻🇩🇪
Fantastic detailed review Thomas. Really not a fan of the new badging system. Creates confusion to normal people who will think the car has a 5.0 capacity engine
Seriously excited for the new RS6. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint!
You can change the sensitivity of the touch screen in the settings!
Can't wait for the rs6
Sometime in the 1990s I saw an article with the headline: "Audi A6, the Perfect Automobile?" It was a stunning idea, that a new auto could be "perfect." Ever since then I have watched new Audi models, wondering if they might not be as close as possible to perfection. Now, with electric cars on the market, things are more complex. But in the context of internal combustion vehicles, new Audi A6 models continue to flirt with the standard of perfection. Great review, Thomas.
Cheers!
I totally agree with you! 🙌
Exterior looks sharp. I like it but I can't stand the fake exhaust tips, it's a shame because they make the car look even more premium.
Looks much better than the new A8 IMHO.
So smooth! Is that camera mounted with a gimbal?
Hi Thomas, best reviewer of vehicles so far in TH-cam, you are the only TH-camr that I watch for 50 min. Could you also do an extensive review on the range rover sport such as with a drive like you normally do.
thanks so much! Yes ok we ll do that in January :)
Thank you :)
Awesome review as always Thomas! Great vehicle as well. Amazing engineering, however for that price I’m getting a Cayenne.

I bet you are much of a Nissan Micra type of individual...hmm for sure you are❗
"goosebumps in your pocket" hahahah
It looks pretty awesome. Making adjustments while driving a 'negative' but overall ergonomics are excellent. One major negative in my view is the absence of the bi turbo diesel option which has to be the optimum motor.
Thomas great top review...but yes I got 105.000 goosebumps! 😩😩😩 and for that price no panoramic roof, no power adjusted ....think I'm catching a cold!
The old MMI swivel wheel is so brilliant. I went from a mark 7 Golf to the face lifted A3 and not having a touch screen is one of the best differences.
I agree. In fact I think touch screen interfaces in a car are a major safety hazard... the touch and slide volume control in recent Hondas being perhaps the worst...How on earth can you use that without taking your eyes off the road? Keep the current MMI controller Audi please!
Interesting philosophy & discussion about extras, and the usefulness (or uselessness!) of quoting a base price for a model or spec versus the real-world price most people pay. eg people basically buy an Audi over a VW because of extra bling, so they will want the bling of the light-show, Matrix lights and cascading indicators - and the 20" rims. All very expensive extras! Great marketing! If they don't specify these on their A6 people will know they're "cheap-skates"! Also interesting that 'quattro' can now mean all-things! Or anything! Great Review!
they buy an Audi over a VW because its more expensive.
Agree about the touch screen. It’s like going back in time when the best we had were resistive touch screens which you either had to use a stylus or your fingernail to make it work.
2nd! Love your videos!
I prefer the 5 series, but is a nice car, specially the animations of the lights..
Great review again of an amazing car. I had a chance to sit in the A7 and A8 with this dual screen system. It is definitely fancy and cool to use. The way you have to press the screens for it to detect a response is a bit annoying in the beginning, but you would get used to it I guess. Also, in Germany Audi doesn’t like to be very generous with the kit a certain trim gets. For example, a S-Line trim in the UK already gets you a very decent standard kit.
By the way, I don’t want to be too political here, but even the automotive industry can get in the crosshairs of politics. To me this Dieselgate stuff is a lot of political theatre. As you mentioned VW has the cleanest diesel engines in the automotive industry.
Thanks for the review Thomas. Have you done a review on the Audi RS3?
Gary - Australia
thanks Gary! yeah: th-cam.com/video/2YpI4an4ytw/w-d-xo.html
I'm really sad the all-digital central console is getting more and more common. I really like the old switches.
cenata when you have so many features on a car it’s better with digital switches.
Agree. Imagine owning any of these cars in years to come. Any software / hardware issues and you are going to see some serious bills $$$..
Billie Boe there aren’t many features so that’s a load of rubbish. The 7 series controls are better
Thanks for the info 😎
Waiting for my new Audi A6
I think Audi A6 2019 is the perfect car for the size, comfort, tech.
I guessed €110.000,- at the start of the video, not far off then... Great review as always, Thomas!
😎
Excellent review Thomas! Looking forward to buy this here in Pakistan. I bought an A4 last year and will be keeping it so that gives me the knobs and dials while this 8th generation A6 will be a move into the future with the touch screens. Can you do a video on the A6’s interior colour combinations? Like a styling of the interior video. Would really love to see that.
Thanks and enjoy! Check out the other video of the a6 below, we have some interior lighting shots in there
Reviewing and cruising at 200km/h.... that's something, thanks for the review Thomas
😁
@@autogefuehl hello Tomas🙂 you probably drive 40 and 50version? i have filling that s tronic in 40 is better than ZF in 50; how it seems to you?
Fantastic video. ! Just a tip on the mistake 5:49 . V6 diesel comes with 2 power options (45 tdi - 231 hp and 50tdi - 286 hp) and mated to the same 8 speed torque converter gearbox. S-tronic means 7 speed DCT and triptronic means 8 speed torque converter. By the way, I am watching this video for the very first time ever since you posted it. Perhaps, you could enlighten us the supplier of the torque converter gearbox 😊
Yeah it's great looking car, but going for full LCDs is too much yet, and I agree that real switches and knoobs are better for now. ;)
I checked out 2019 audi a6 yesterday and yeah. Its awesome looking car, nice to drive, technologically sound but as you said, passenger at the back won’t enjoy as much. It’s slightly cramped for vehicle this big, and the rear seating position is kinda awkward. A little bit too straight maybe
Very good review Thomas “The Seat” 😂 I keep meaning to ask is that your garage door opener in the cup holder ? Have you ever programmed the Audi ir Mercedes built in ones ? Do the work well from a reasonable range ?
Hehe it is
For me, BMW and Mercedes are better, the same tech but both have more character, style. Audi is just well rounded.
Merc>BMW>Audi. Thank you Thomas for your work! Everything great like always!
No Audi is better
Plenty of sharp-looking lines in this review... car lines, driving lines, fashion lines and jawlines :p Lovely vehicle but utterly fantastical price.
Audi A 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, just imagine the next generation in the future, Audi A 10, you a call a taxi,
enter the car, tell where to go and you travel absolutely autonomously, then pay the driver and don`t
worry about fuel, oil and rapairs, this is the biggest luxury.
Great review! Prices are out of control, what"s it worth in a year lol
I really appreciate the state-of-the-art reviews, Autogefühl are making, and this is a very nice one too - with great filming and detailing at the exact right level.
The only thing I am missing a bit here is a comment regarding the obviously lacking speeder response (here at 29:08 and 33:34) when you are pushing it. I has been heavily criticized by others testers. What is your opinion on that?
thanks! u mean the slow digital gauges?
I mean, when you 'hammer it through', there’s a significant and detectable delay (about two seconds!) between the pedal going down and the drivetrain loading up. It could be the typical single-turbo lag or a transmission issue.
combination of downshift and turbo laag i guess
Great review, I own a C7.5 A6 and ordered an A4 Avant 6 months ago, as it would be more practical for my German Shepherd dog. The A4 has been delayed because if WLTP tests so will probably swap the order for an A6 Avant, following your review!
enjoy =)
Are there any pictures of the “base” LED lights? I’ve never seen them on press cars (obviously) and there are no good pictures on the Audi website / configurator.. do they have a LED stripe like the A5 / Q5 or these ugly dots like on the A4?
Very best Car
OMG. You are so frikkin beautiful - Hollywood type beautiful but Natural. & you have such a calming voice it seems like you have your viewers in the car with you just carrying a casual conversation during a road trip or something. It was really hard focusing on the A6 -believe me I tried. I guess I’ll have to Google it instead. & I suppose this is My 5⭐️review. Unconventional as it may be. 🇺🇸 🚘 🇩🇪
Thanks 😊
In the U.K. you have to use your left hand which if you are right handed is awkward...
A like how early the blind spot monitor detected the speeding car approaching from behind at 22:30
you one none boring reviewer. there's something hidden in your videos that keep one keep watching. video quality is max too
thanks so much keep tuning in!
Awsome 😢
Just a suggestion since I see this outside 3D popping up everywhere. Next review, please try to park near an obstacle so we can see how the cameras present the object relative to the 3d image of the car. As it is right now, without obstacles (a small pole or another car) the review in respect to this system is useless. Good review outside of that!
Hey Thomas, I like your reviews, just when you are doing English Reviews, try to use English Menu language in Interface systems, I did noticed it in few other videos too...
What? You criticize how people talk...? On their own channel...!? Amazing. As you say, Thomas's channel is fantastic - that's the only thing I can say! Many thanks Thomas.
No, i'm not criticizing .. i'm just saying that if he's doing this for International purpose, and doing it in English, let menus on cars be on English to... is it that hard to understand ?
We are doing that quite often, sometimes we forget :)
Beautiful, hope they option an panoramic roof
Sure
which one would you choose between 530d and 40tdi in terms of agility and refined feelings
My god that has to be the largest ECU casing on the market :D Really elegegant car overall. Not a fan of the animated turn signals though. Super annoying to look at :P
I wonder what will S6 and RS6 have for the exhausts..
Seat leather cover is Valcona Sard Brown?
Great review, Thomas. Do you happen to know why the model you reviewed here has a cover for the front console cup holders, while the A6 model that you reviewed on May 23, 2018 shows the front console cup holders fully exposed without any cover at all? Is that dependent on model (Premium, Premium Plus, etc.) or is there another explanation? Wondering whether the U.S. version will or will not be equipped with a cover over the front console cup holders. I much prefer the look with a cover that hides the cup holders when not in use. Hoping you might know the answer to this question. Thanks.
Interesting, either that was pre-production or the sliding cover is an option
Is bonnet without any cover ???
I'd take an E400d 4 Matic. 335 bhp and 516 lf ft torque. And a more soulful interior. The new A6 looks as lot better than the A8 though.
What do you think about diesel cars? Producers keep bringing out diesel powered cars although governments are trying to stop the pollution.
Good reviews, love them!
the whole "let's get rid of diesel cars" crap is just a tabloid subject that retarded automotive based websites are abusing to get viewers. The reality is far different.
Talked about that in the driving part!
