Nah, the new A8 has no much road presence. Seen a few in London and I think for some reason they have a higher ride height than a normal saloon or even it's S-Class competitor. Anyway it gives it so much presence.
The V6 diesel sounds a bit nasty inside under load. 90% of it seems to come from the speakers though, so you can most likely disable it and enjoy some silence.
I’m not normally a big Audi fan but I think this is a gorgeous looking car. Much better looking car than the 5. Those rear Quattro arches are awesome!!
Those two cut outs in chrome line on the front grill bother me more than it should!! Instead of 8 lines do 7 with bigger space in between and put camera and radar in empty space... Sheesh, not that hard..
Terry Forth basically he had it on Manual TipTronic and left the gear at 2nd gear maybe while his speak should be at 4th or 5th lol he doesnt know how to use it! I have one and it does not sound like that at all specially inside
I think the new all touch infotainment isn’t the best. Hard to operate while driving. And it’s not tactile as a button setup. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying it should be all last gen Porsche will a hailstorm of buttons. But something like what BMW and Mercedes do now.
Button nobs and switches no, but there's electronic feedback and a sound giving driver confirmation, everything most use is on the steering wheel as a button + voice control.......
Yeah, touchscreens are awful when it's winter and you have your gloves on. I like how BMW has physical buttons for both air conditioning and the infotainment. Having more screen area in a cabin doesn't necessarily mean it's the most functional solution.
@ mmmakeee In addition, people have the impression that the vehicle is more "luxury" if it has all these screens when, in fact, a lot of the times, they are actually cutting down costs by using screens.
True. I also find weird that ambient interior lightning is considered so upmarket/luxurious right now, considering that a few meters of led strip can't be that expensive.
Xenon Games as an E Class owner I agree. But i bought the car to be my luxury cruiser and not a sporty car. I considered the 5 series but didnt quite like the sporty feeling. Although that is complete personal preference. On the other hand i have rented an S Class and a 7 Series before and thought the 7 series was miles better than the S Class. How weird huh?
Most people actually love to jump to the conclusion that the s-class is the top tier of ultimate luxury and ride quality..when infact there are several facts from the 7er to contradict that lol
There’s something kind of boring and not aggressive about the front grill compared to other Audi models. Maybe it’s the Red color that makes it look like that. Audi’s should only be in grey, black or white.
I think the video editing is a bit off.. Way too grim, nice for the outside views, but even there.. it's too dark. The interior way too much clarity, or not enough saturated. It was appearing as grey, until the end showed it was actually beige. I get it that it needs to look appealing, but a little less so perhaps?
I'm a huge Audi fan, but I have 2 major issues with this car. The radars in the front, I don't understand why they made then in the chrome lines, it ruins the look.. They either should have added them in between, or colored them. And the fake exhaust, I really don't get that one, more and more seem to do it, and I can't see why, it looks awful.
Looks very nice but I am more interested in the station wagon (don't laugh). When will that be out. Would then also love to see you do a comparison of the A6 and BMW5 wagons (with decent motors).
Sid Acidic said who? i have a strong opinion that the new E class was a game changer when it came out.. BMW had nearly 2 years to perfect the 5 series to be better and there’s still a lot of doubt in the minds of journalists..
LIMITED WHEELSPIN you're right. same goes for the 7 series. bmw had 2 years to redesign their flagship model but it flopped and their sales saids it all. it looked like the 3 series on steroids. someone in the bmw head designers needs to be fired! i mean what were they thinking????
It's being planned. Wait and see. The Giulia is best in class, no doubt they can do it again in this segment as well. Americans are simply obsessed with the 5-Series and E-Class so it is a very tough segment to crack.
Bmw biased reviewer lol. Audi was always better in luxury sedans and mid class. And now it's debatable? Only because bmw has rwd and that is the only deal.
I owned BMW 5 series, Class And Audi A6to be honest, it depends on what you like, I like very top quality build, quite, comfortable, reliable, safe, enjoyable, economical car, I hate tough sporty cars thus I love the A6, I hate the BMW, the Mercedes is Just OK, I sold the 5 BMW 5 series and will never ever by BMW because of the following,1- I had to much problems with reliability2- skies badly on wet roads3- noisy compared to the Audialthough I sound if I am biased towards the Audi but I am independent person do not get any company of the three advertising with me, so I say the truth unlike car magazines and car reviewersso my rating for these cars as follows:-Audi 100%Mercedes 80%BMW 60%When I first bought the BMW I found saw it a s amuch better looking than the Audi but after having both cars, I loved every bit of the woudy performance and I hate almost every thing in the BMW, so my preseption of the looks change, now Every time I see Audi A6 t looks so lovely because it reminds me of the goods thing about it, when I see any body driving BMW I, see it very ugly because eof all the bad thing, I new about it.I must say advertising really, effects first time decision but long terms decision will depends on the cars quality, performance, reliability
A. for effort audi, but on the real this falls short of the bimmer. The 5-series has got everything on it especially style, interior and driving dynamics
This is better looking than the new A8
Ahmed Gafar totally. I prefer the A7 though
Abel Israel Cruz Ayuso me too. A7 is the sexiest
Nah, the new A8 has no much road presence. Seen a few in London and I think for some reason they have a higher ride height than a normal saloon or even it's S-Class competitor. Anyway it gives it so much presence.
That's not hard lol
The V6 diesel sounds a bit nasty inside under load. 90% of it seems to come from the speakers though, so you can most likely disable it and enjoy some silence.
Merc and Audi need to stop putting fake plastic exhausts on their lineup. It’s becoming ridiculous
agreed, they look very cheap and nasty, these are fairly premium cars and they just don't fit in.
Agree, I have the new E Class and i am fairly annoyed that they have drawn on exhausts.
I expect that from lower priced cars not cars costing £30k +
I think they only do it on their diesel cars.
The "smaller" A4 has an even more realistic exhaust than the A6
And it even works.
the idea is in a couple of years time it's all gonna be electric.
I’m not normally a big Audi fan but I think this is a gorgeous looking car. Much better looking car than the 5. Those rear Quattro arches are awesome!!
Those two cut outs in chrome line on the front grill bother me more than it should!! Instead of 8 lines do 7 with bigger space in between and put camera and radar in empty space... Sheesh, not that hard..
thormaster06 i agree and that’s shy I bought the one without dynamic drive assist radar
The engine noise in the background was annoying. Is that because you had in dynamic, where the pipe in some of that awful diesel ‘music’?
I was wondering that too. Sounds horrid!
Terry Forth basically he had it on Manual TipTronic and left the gear at 2nd gear maybe while his speak should be at 4th or 5th lol he doesnt know how to use it! I have one and it does not sound like that at all specially inside
The blackhead-like sensors in the grill ruin the front.
looks like a cop car in front
Couldnt they fit them BETWEEN the grills, without breaking them up?
I think the new all touch infotainment isn’t the best. Hard to operate while driving. And it’s not tactile as a button setup. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying it should be all last gen Porsche will a hailstorm of buttons. But something like what BMW and Mercedes do now.
Button nobs and switches no, but there's electronic feedback and a sound giving driver confirmation, everything most use is on the steering wheel as a button + voice control.......
I prefer a little control wheel. Not a big fan on touch screens, they get messy with finger prints and are a distraction.
Yeah, touchscreens are awful when it's winter and you have your gloves on. I like how BMW has physical buttons for both air conditioning and the infotainment. Having more screen area in a cabin doesn't necessarily mean it's the most functional solution.

I hear the e class is very soft in terms of suspension and it has a bit too much body roll
Xenon Games as an E Class owner I agree. But i bought the car to be my luxury cruiser and not a sporty car.
I considered the 5 series but didnt quite like the sporty feeling. Although that is complete personal preference.
On the other hand i have rented an S Class and a 7 Series before and thought the 7 series was miles better than the S Class. How weird huh?
BMW all the way
Most people actually love to jump to the conclusion that the s-class is the top tier of ultimate luxury and ride quality..when infact there are several facts from the 7er to contradict that lol
Steve, I like that your love of cars always shines through. Thanks for another great video!
Steve, excellent review as always!
With all A series looking so alike, they should just name them Small, Medium and Large much like McDonald's Fries
The same goes for Merc C,E, and S, and BMW 3,5, and 7.
Can I please have A series meal, large size combo with Quattro and RS package please.
Eddie Xiang alright sir, anything else? If not that will be 149.999,99$. Thank you sir come again.
Johan Joubert the 3er looks different but the 5 and 7er look the same
I have yet to see an A6 with any type of sunroof, I've seen a few articles mention a dual pane panoramic roof, but has this been confirmed?
Those black sensor nostrils in the front grill are hideous.
There’s something kind of boring and not aggressive about the front grill compared to other Audi models. Maybe it’s the Red color that makes it look like that. Audi’s should only be in grey, black or white.
thanks man, I liked the front so much until I saw your comment, didn't even notice them before
Blake Swan Why do some audis have a chrome grill and others do not? Is it because of trim level?
CrazyAboutCars 84 pretty sure it’s available on every Audi (maybe not the RS models) unless the Black Optic package is selected
I hated audio for their interiors but they've stepped up their game this year. The A5 is my fav
Very impressive well done Audi! As always Steve is great to watch
The tech will cause drivers to take their eyes off the road.
Best interior, best looks, hate the fake exhaust however.
This is the best looking but the A7 is more attractive.
CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW S6 and RS6
more luxurious but I like the last gen shape more.
Great review!
Hope they bring out the Avant version
Imagen how much that stuff will break over the years
I think the video editing is a bit off.. Way too grim, nice for the outside views, but even there.. it's too dark. The interior way too much clarity, or not enough saturated. It was appearing as grey, until the end showed it was actually beige. I get it that it needs to look appealing, but a little less so perhaps?
Can't wait for the new rs6
I'm a huge Audi fan, but I have 2 major issues with this car. The radars in the front, I don't understand why they made then in the chrome lines, it ruins the look.. They either should have added them in between, or colored them. And the fake exhaust, I really don't get that one, more and more seem to do it, and I can't see why, it looks awful.
A6 and E class might be better than the 5 series
A beautiful car I've just brought the Avant version it's absolutely gorgeous, great engineering thank you Audi. And Auto express 🇬🇧
When journalists stopped being journalists and started selling cars.
Im an Audi fan. I've already driven many Audi models. My favorite Audi model is the A4
Engine sounds a bit gruff
Looks very nice but I am more interested in the station wagon (don't laugh). When will that be out. Would then also love to see you do a comparison of the A6 and BMW5 wagons (with decent motors).
Great Video Review. I like everything about the New Audi A6 particularly the New Interior quality and will be hugely popular with Business Users
Feels like a paid ad promotion
Feels like advertisement and not a review. How much money did Steve get? Fake review.
Beautiful executive 😍
This beats the E class & 5 series hands down. It looks like it's a different class
Lovely car, but that engine noise would drive me nuts. It’s like a washing machine with a brick in it.
old versus young,a crx vtec 150hp vs civic type R
Why did you only mention the 5 series? E class out of the game already?
LIMITED WHEELSPIN because its the benchmark.
Sid Acidic said who? i have a strong opinion that the new E class was a game changer when it came out.. BMW had nearly 2 years to perfect the 5 series to be better and there’s still a lot of doubt in the minds of journalists..
Because it's not even close to an E-Class.
LIMITED WHEELSPIN you're right. same goes for the 7 series. bmw had 2 years to redesign their flagship model but it flopped and their sales saids it all. it looked like the 3 series on steroids. someone in the bmw head designers needs to be fired! i mean what were they thinking????
To stay objective, one would easier mistake a C-class for an S-class than a 3-Series for a 7-Series...
Cars are meant to be driven. Technology can only be an icing on the cake. If you are a driving enthusiast Audi a6 cannot beat BMW 5 series
Waiting for rs6😍😍
Why He scroll down on the steering wheel all the time?
I work for bmw and this is way nicer than the 5 series
Billeh sure you do
r33nismo GTR Brian jessel bmw in Vancouver asshat
Now wake up from your dream plz
That's great dude.I too have a dream to work in bmw
Cutting the grass?
Looks like a 5 series in profile....?🤔
That engine sounds too loud and clanky
Looks like the modern Scodas
Is this the ubiquitous ZF transmission or is it an Audi CVT? The engine sounds like is paired with a CVT, making all that annoying, typical sound.
Surprised they got rid of the swivel wheel, glad BMW hasn’t. Bring it back Audi
What an interior! Better than e class and 5series imo. Can't wait for the rs6 btw.
Goodluck with someone who buys this and it breaks down lol you'll need to sell your gaff to fix it
I'll wait for Alfa Romeo's entry into this segment.
wave runner that will never happen
It's being planned. Wait and see. The Giulia is best in class, no doubt they can do it again in this segment as well. Americans are simply obsessed with the 5-Series and E-Class so it is a very tough segment to crack.
Nope 5 series is the leader as always. Audi and Mercedes still trying to catch up after all these years.
Why is the infotainment system in this Audi looking like that of the Range Rover Velar and Range Rover sport?? Who is copying who?
The front number plate .? Why the .... did they have to put it there where its destroyed the look of an otherwise really nice looking car.!
Much nicer inside n outside than 5ser
Sounds like a bus
234,790,792 views he had it on manual and kept a low gear.. driver’s fault
My lover.s audi A6 ..
I'll take this over a 5 series any day. Imposing looks especially in S-Line spec and that interior & tech is top notch. Well played Audi.
A7 much better looking. The back is way better. This A6 in red and with the chrome line at the back > no go.
Bmw biased reviewer lol. Audi was always better in luxury sedans and mid class. And now it's debatable? Only because bmw has rwd and that is the only deal.
Latvietis96 How come Audi always wins any luxury comparison to Bmw?
Yoo it's been too long since I seen this guy
Audi
47k version . starting with 2.0 TDI not 3.0 Quattro
A lot of engine noise though!
Not a patch on the M
Is it a "PROPER" car, I don't want it unless its a "PROPER" Audi!
76.500+Luxury consuming tax(%160)+VAT(%18)=235.000 Euros in my country :)
is it just me or is there an unusual amount of engine noise for a luxury car?
A5 looks much better to me.
Europeans don't like cars with sunroofs! That's a tough sell in America!
That engine is quite loud
E class
Sorry, 2008 BMW 550i sport package, manual transmission for me. Thank you.
TheGbizaille Sorry, 1998 Audi S8 manual for me.
Tomislav Zvonimir nice choice too
Tomislav Zvonimir sorry you will be at the mechanics more than on the road
Audi S8? Enjoy your broken timing chains and $20k repair bills
M50B25 Turbo No timing chains in the D3 S8.
wow thats a noisy engine and because of the screens its a accident waiting to happen,you need to look at the road when youre driving NOT a screen.
Yeah think of it as a huge ipad you need to control while on the road..a cell is risky enough
Think I'd have an E or preferably a CLS.
I will have this or new A7
CLS has no headroom in the back which is a shame to say at least fot that price.
..outside rolling shots of red media car were shot in western cape, south africa, on pakhuis mountain pass!...
Audi the KING 👑 of the RINGS ⚪️⚪️⚪️⚪️👌👍
Please stop😁😁
DeeJay ..NO way the KING 👑 it’s the KING
А6 is best!
Cringe video. How much money did this guy receive from Audi for this extremely positive review
BMW 5 Series still the king.
It's actually the A6's fifth generation.
Ads for weedkiller? Seriously?
Audi really needs to work on their steering feedback, i think that’s my only wish so far.
"The aspect that strikes me" about it first is how boring it "appears" to be frank.
I’ll stick to the 5 series if that’s how noisy it is!
i would never buy a car with fake exhaust tips. it's LAME
cant believe how terrible those black sensors look in the grill - what on earth were they thinking giving it the nostrils of a duck?!
BMW 5 series much better, Audi just a pimped up Volkswagen
youngprankster94 oh sure. You have driven all of them so you can tell
I owned BMW 5 series, Class And Audi A6to be honest, it depends on what you like, I like very top quality build, quite, comfortable, reliable, safe, enjoyable, economical car, I hate tough sporty cars thus I love the A6, I hate the BMW, the Mercedes is Just OK, I sold the 5 BMW 5 series and will never ever by BMW because of the following,1- I had to much problems with reliability2- skies badly on wet roads3- noisy compared to the Audialthough I sound if I am biased towards the Audi but I am independent person do not get any company of the three advertising with me, so I say the truth unlike car magazines and car reviewersso my rating for these cars as follows:-Audi 100%Mercedes 80%BMW 60%When I first bought the BMW I found saw it a s amuch better looking than the Audi but after having both cars, I loved every bit of the woudy performance and I hate almost every thing in the BMW, so my preseption of the looks change, now Every time I see Audi A6 t looks so lovely because it reminds me of the goods thing about it, when I see any body driving BMW I, see it very ugly because eof all the bad thing, I new about it.I must say advertising really, effects first time decision but long terms decision will depends on the cars quality, performance, reliability
Said like a young prankster who doesn't know about cars....go play logo my child.
This is miles better than the BMW 5 series
Joe Hew no
Explain why not
5 series is way better. The sales figures speak of themselves.
Hmm let’s see about the new 5 series then
Nah bruh it aint the 5-series has been the benchmark from time in the executive saloon segment
Beautiful thing
It's awesome
The idea behind the fake exhaust is that in a couple of years it's all gonna be electric. Just saying...
Ugly..... Like the old one better
Boring front grille. Other than that is fine.
Better watch out for kia now once a peasant make have all of a sudden turned into a prestigious make. We need to stand our ground
A. for effort audi, but on the real this falls short of the bimmer. The 5-series has got everything on it especially style, interior and driving dynamics
Great car inside and out, definitely gives the 5 series competition though If I was spending the money I’d go MB
Lexus and Audi
