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.
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.
@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.
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....
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.
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!
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.
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 :)))
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!
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?
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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
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! 😍❤️
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....
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.)
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 😊
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 ?
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 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 ?
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.
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!
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
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.
5:21 Does the Quattro Ultra system really use a *Haldex* clutch? I thought it used a new type of system for connecting and disconnecting the rear wheels-developed by Audi?
Good point. Yes and no. To be more exact, it is like a haldex but adds another level with the possibility to declutch the rear axle unit. With haldex it always spins the rear differential even when u are in fwd mode. So i would call the quattro ultra a further developed haldex system
This is so confusing. Audi website says , on A6 Quattro 50/50 split but possible to send 100% to any axle if required. But then in another review, they say 40 front, 60 rear. A4 and above are MLB platform so they are definitely Torsen, but still not clear what’s what 😏 What type of Quattro is the S-Tronic Quattro.
Autogefühl “It’s more like Haldex” Well, it is not infact Haldex. Saying that the system uses a Haldex clutch is simply incorrect. Whilst the outcome might be somewhat similar, a Haldex clutch works in a completely different way compared to Quattro with Torsen on MLB platforms, regardless of if it’s Quattro or Quattro Ultra.
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?
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.
Hi Thomas! I have one question for your team. Can u make a video about what is the most silent car at the moment. (I mean silent in the interior when u drive it. Best sound insolation) Or if u cant do a video, can u tell me how can i figure it out? Very important question for me. Thanks! Like!
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.
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.
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!
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.
I'm sorry Thomas but u just don't know how the use the digital controls. You can actually slide to change the temperature with the color bar to the side of the plus and minus. It also has other features which makes it very configurable. Just take time to learn how it works and u may not hate it as much.
Thank you for the extremely comprehensive review, I want to ask you or anyone in the comments what is the better pack, the tour pack or the sound and comfort pack? I am looking to order one of these in the estate version but can't decide what would be best for me. We do a lot of motorway miles mixed with a small amount of around town driving but can't really decide what would be the most useful if you or anyone could offer some advice it would be much appreciated.
@@autogefuehl Thank you for replying, Tour pack includes adaptive cruise control, camera based traffic sign recognition, high beam assist, lane departure assist and the comfort & sound pack has keyless entry, B&O sound system extended LED package and 360-degree camera. Many thanks in advance.
I may be in a minority but I think the interior has taken a backwards step. The previous A6 had a nicer interior. I don't like the touch screens and I miss the pop up screen from the previous A6.
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!!

Thanks for the support!

One of the most beautiful interiors I've ever seen
Interior touch screens and piano black trim looks a lot like Porsche’s. Matte wood is also an excellent addition. Fantastic review as always!

Great review. The interior in this car is stunning. Looking forward to the new RS6!
Nice ride... excellent review again Thomas. Look forward to the next!
Yay, 200kph! Thanks Thomas. The legend is back.
You're a legend Thomas! Your attempts at humour are so german as well. hahaha. Keep up the great reviews!

i love your reviews Thomas. that a6 is almost as handsome and well dressed as you are.

Electric steering wheel column is a 400€ extra option. But it depends on the market because the standard equipment differs from market to market.
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!

I believe that's the air suspension doing the trick

thanks so much! Yes ok we ll do that in January :)
Thank you :)
You can change the sensitivity of the touch screen in the settings!
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
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.
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.

I guessed €110.000,- at the start of the video, not far off then... Great review as always, Thomas!

I think Audi A6 2019 is the perfect car for the size, comfort, tech.
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
you one none boring reviewer. there's something hidden in your videos that keep one keep watching. video quality is max too

Great review Thomas, I would have the 50tdi.
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.
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. ;)

Very important question for me.
Thanks! Like!
I did talk about that in this very episode :)
which one would you choose between 530d and 40tdi in terms of agility and refined feelings
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!
Is bonnet without any cover ???
So I don’t get it..3.0 TDI comes with quattro Torsen while 3.0 TFSI with quattro Ultra?
I have the same question. Can some one please confirm ???
A like how early the blind spot monitor detected the speeding car approaching from behind at 22:30
ANOTHER GREAT VIEDO from Thomas...……..
@@Mick.Taylor 🤪🤪🤪🤭✌🏻🇩🇪
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
Great review
Vielen Dank für die Informationen
I wonder what will S6 and RS6 have for the exhausts..
Seat leather cover is Valcona Sard Brown?
Tank you very much for next I interesting video.
Is it better than A8? Comparable?
By the way are you use xr3000 from Sony?
Its good:)
So smooth! Is that camera mounted with a gimbal?
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!
"goosebumps in your pocket" hahahah
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.
Can't wait for the rs6
I'm sorry Thomas but u just don't know how the use the digital controls. You can actually slide to change the temperature with the color bar to the side of the plus and minus. It also has other features which makes it very configurable. Just take time to learn how it works and u may not hate it as much.
I know I have shown that a couple of times, also in this car in 2 other reviews. Still my point is that the touch-feedback system is bogus.
Looks much better than the new A8 IMHO.
Hello Thomas from California. Will you be comparing the 2020 Audi S6 to the Mercedes E53 anytime soon?
hey m8, E53 review here: th-cam.com/video/Jxi9ZyaSIUA/w-d-xo.html
I prefer the 5 series, but is a nice car, specially the animations of the lights..
Thank you for the extremely comprehensive review, I want to ask you or anyone in the comments what is the better pack, the tour pack or the sound and comfort pack? I am looking to order one of these in the estate version but can't decide what would be best for me. We do a lot of motorway miles mixed with a small amount of around town driving but can't really decide what would be the most useful if you or anyone could offer some advice it would be much appreciated.
what do they include?
@@autogefuehl Thank you for replying, Tour pack includes adaptive cruise control, camera based traffic sign recognition, high beam assist, lane departure assist and the comfort & sound pack has keyless entry, B&O sound system extended LED package and 360-degree camera. Many thanks in advance.
Plenty of sharp-looking lines in this review... car lines, driving lines, fashion lines and jawlines :p Lovely vehicle but utterly fantastical price.
I may be in a minority but I think the interior has taken a backwards step.
The previous A6 had a nicer interior.
I don't like the touch screens and I miss the pop up screen from the previous A6.
Ha ha! I used to own a fiat! Never again!
Second hand is the way to go!
2nd! Love your videos!
