Audi A6 praised in long‑term test

Autocar India’s final long-term test says the Audi A6 remains one of the strongest executive sedans on sale in India, even late in its life cycle. (autocarindia.com) The magazine’s 7,200-kilometre report, published April 12, 2026, praised the A6’s ride quality on 19-inch wheels and said the car’s 2.0-litre turbo-petrol made daily commuting feel both relaxed and quick. (autocarindia.com) An earlier 6,000-kilometre report on January 23, 2026 said the sedan kept circulating through Autocar India’s office because multiple editors wanted time with it, and singled out its material quality, boot space, soft-close doors and four-zone climate control. (autocarindia.com) That praise lands as Audi’s India-market A6 is still the standard-wheelbase sedan, while BMW and Mercedes-Benz have pushed long-wheelbase 5 Series and E-Class models harder in the same luxury segment. (autocarindia.com) Autocar India’s current expert review says the A6 “remains a strong contender” for buyers who want refinement, comfort and technology, while also noting that the design dates back to 2019 and that there is no diesel option in India. (autocarindia.com) Audi India lists the A6 at ₹64.81 lakh ex-showroom for model year 2025, with a 1,984 cubic centimetre petrol engine, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and a claimed fuel-efficiency figure of 14.11 kilometres per litre. (audi.in, autocarindia.com) Autocar India reported that Audi quietly updated the A6 in 2024 with a revised bumper, new grille details, 19-inch wheels on higher trims and a power bump, but without a major launch event. (autocarindia.com, autocarindia.com) The thread running through those reviews is simple: in a market tilting toward sport utility vehicles and electric launches, the Audi A6 is still being judged on older luxury-sedan basics — quietness, ride comfort, cabin quality and usable rear-seat space. (autocarindia.com, autocarindia.com) Autocar India’s final verdict was that the long-term stint served as “a long overdue reunion” with a car that still feels like a complete all-rounder, even as a replacement generation is already moving into view globally.
