Audi A6 (2011-2017) interior

It’s genuinely hard to believe that the Audi A6’s interior is a six-year-old design because it still oozes sophistication and is extremely easy to use. The standard leather interior helps here – it’s real unlike the man-made material fitted to a Mercedes E-Class – and you also get quad-zone climate control that gives all four passengers their own ventilation controls.

 

Style

The standard leather upholstery gives the car a real sense of quality

There’s a sense of inner quality that newer rivals can’t match – be it the solid thunk of the doors closing, the quality feel of the leather-bound steering wheel or the metal trim pieces that are cold to the touch – you get the impression that the A6 will be rattle free 150,000 miles and many years down the line.

And huge distances present few issues – truth be told, the A6 positively relishes long motorway jaunts. The seats are extremely comfortable and the cabin quiet enough to allow for hours of high-speed cruising. That’s true whether you’re on a UK motorway or a delimited German Autobahn.

 

The A6's interior has stood the test of time – it feels very upmarket

Infotainment

Audi A6 infotainment and interior video review

The only slip up comes in the form of the MMI infotainment system. Its screen is much smaller than the latest infotainment displays and the graphics fall behind in terms of clarity – a Mercedes E-Class’ system looks almost space age by comparison but, unlike in the Merc, you don’t need a degree in computer programming to master the Audi’s sat-nav.
