What we like

The Audi A6 is a comfortable, refined motorway cruiser – especially when riding on air suspension. The MHEV Plus diesel model is just about powerful enough for its weight and its very efficient. I also like how agile Audi’s all-wheel steering makes this five-metre-long land yacht feel. It’s surprisingly nimble for such a large vehicle. This is a true jack of all trades.

What we don’t like

Audi’s latest infotainment system is a little too complicated. The climate control icons are small and the menu on the top right of the screen is obscured by the wheel. Boot space could be better, too. It’s smaller than the 5 Series and the E-Class saloons – and the MHEV Plus system robs 40 litres of space over the petrol car. Still, it’s big enough for most families.
