Editor's Overview
Perhaps one of Audi's most underappreciated vehicles, the 2017 Audi A6 luxury performance sedan is really one of the better choices in the German giant's lineup. Although the diesel engine is now off the menu, a new Competition trim adds a sportier feel, while the V8-powered S6 remains a thorn in the side of BMW's M5 and Mercedes-Benz's E63 AMG.
