2016 Audi A6 – TheCarConnection

The 2016 Audi A6 takes the brand’s theory of incremental improvement and refinement and applies it yet again. The result is a car that’s simply better in most of the ways that matter—and the Audi A6 was already a very good car. Small visual updates give cues to the mechanical and technological updates found elsewhere. And the front and rear ends, slight changes in the shape of the Singleframe grille and details of the bumpers and trim mark the A6 and S6 as well as S line vehicles; a new LED headlight design is also visible at the nose. At the rear, new trapezoidal tailpipes are found on A6 models. New interior colors like Flint gray and Cedar brown are available, while the S6 gets optional Arras red leather and carbon fiber inserts with red thread accents.

2016 Audi A6 Review: Audi A6 surprises with high-speed handling, 4G data – CNET

By: Wayne Cunningham – Reviewed: September 21, 2015

The Good – With its Quattro all-wheel-drive, well-tuned suspension and supercharged 3-liter engine, the 2016 Audi A6 handles well and accelerates quickly. A 4G data connection supports integrated online destination search and Google Earth imagery, and Audi finally implements USB ports for audio device connectivity.

The Bad – Minor criticisms only, but the head-up display could show more explicit turn information and the infotainment system would benefit from well-known third-party apps.

The Bottom Line – The 2016 Audi A6 is an extraordinarily well-mannered car, comfortable for the everyday commute and capable on country roads, with a full course of connected cabin technology putting useful driving and location information at your fingertips.
