Audi A6 (1997-2001) Review

Category: Executive 3 out of 5

Summary of the Audi A6 (1997-2001)

Price Range: £24,900 to £39,370

Assets

Distinctive, ultra-modern styling, build quality and refinement. Diesel TDi extremely thrifty, 2.5 TDi sportily brisk. One of the best interiors you'll find anywhere.

Drawbacks

Not the most satisfying car in its class to drive.

Verdict

A good all-rounder - for temperate drivers.

Audi A6 Avant Review

Overview3 out of 5

Hot or not?

This very modern looking saloon is seen as very handsome by many, but not all, executive car buyers, who don't like the rear end styling. The more conventional Avant estate is less controversial.There are 28 versions, ranging from a 1.8 Turbo petrol to the high performance S6. See our separate road test for the Allroad. This model was replaced by a revised version in 2001, and an all-new A6 in 2004.
