This, even BMW and Mercedes would reluctantly have to admit, is a beautiful piece of engineering. It always has been. The A6 Avant was, after all, the first cars in its class to offer things like bonded-in flush glazing, a galvanised bodyshell, V6 TDI power, four wheel drive and advanced twin-clutch automatic gearboxes. And in this improved smart-suited sixth generation C9-series guise, the cleverness continues, an extra dose of visual charisma blended with high technology and premium quality unsurpassed in this sector.
This car's drawbacks, such as they are, don't appear to bother many potential buyers. No it's still not the most spacious large executive estate in its class - but these days, it's large enough for that not to matter. Yes, the extras can be expensive, but then that's the case with any premium executive car. And it's true that the handling still isn't especially aimed at driving enthusiasts, though you can go a long way towards sharpening it by ticking the right options boxes. This then, is a very complete product, perhaps a fitting sign-off for the combustion A6 Avant model line, if that's what this C9-era design is. A thorough case, if ever there was one, of vorsprung durch technic.
