2019 Audi A6 C8 (ENG) - Test Drive and Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2024
- 2019 Audi A6 or C8 is the 8th generation of Audi's executive model. Although at first glance it doesn't look much different from the C7, it now features plenty new driver aids and safety systems, as well as the new MMI infotainment system with two displays mounted on the centre console. Audi also stopped communicating engine displacement focusing on the power output range. This Audi A6 is a 55 TFSI quattro, a 340 hp turbocharged petrol engine with AWD. At around 110 thousand euro new 2019 Audi A6 is also quite expensive. Is it worth the money?

Pierwszy raz trafiam na twoje recenzje. Szacunek. Kawał dobrej roboty.
Great review, well produced, informative and humorous. Your vocabulary is great for a non native English speaker.
Great video. I've watched quite a few reviews and this is the best!
Szacun za angielski :) chyba jedyny polski tester", który dobrze nawija po angielsku :) dobry test. Pozdrawiam.
A+ quality review! Congrats!
Best format best English best speaker best review ! Bravo from France
You're probably one of the best automotive journalist ! thanks
l ...with sharpest humor for sure!..Marek is a star in this category (imho))))
totally agree with u regarding the fake exhausts!! i just booked an A6, the only peeve is the fake exhausts! cldnt they just extend the 2 real exhauts out abit....for the price they are asking!!!
Bardzo fajny pomysł z tym Angielskim (na świetnym poziomie zresztą). Powodzenia
Good review Marek1
Great work! Thanks.
Great video! like!
That numbered power output thing is confusing.
The A6 is a great car to buy 2-5 years old, new or used. They're very reliable while also being the cheapest for all the latest tech and have quite a good engine. Same price as a brand new car from Ford or Toyota but you get much more out of the deal. Just gotta make sure to get the warranties with the car and it won't cost you more than a Toyota to repair anything at the dealership.
Keep mine for 20000km!
Thats great!! I think I’ll get one tomorrow.
I'm only 22 and I want this over the others to be honest. 🤷🏾♂️
me 2 my broda
AWIMusic i am 24 and my dream is audi s3 for many many years !!
dude i'm 19 almost 20 and i only want this
He was joking about the first part
i still have audi a4 from 2008, i never felt like upgrading it with the newer a4's og the a6's(they just didnt feel luxurious enough) but finally the A6 2019 looks like a worthy upgrade.
I have 2010 A4 - wish one day get that nice expensive A6 - A4 is so fasinating- good luck guys- 😎
Najwspanialszy Samochód na Świecie wręcz Idealny ;)
Dzięki Audi ;)
Brawo za kanał wersji angielskiej :D
"Blue" pils r great! I still inspired blue-white logo of my bmw :)
Impressed!! I currently own a '13 S6 and I really like the upgrades. The dual touch screen I'd have to get used to, I still like the old interior better. Just sucks a loaded A6 costs almost as much as a comperable '18 S6.
You're one of the few with an understandable level of speaking english for a Polish origin.
Chenquieh, jagshemash?
whats that? Now you're scaring me. You just talked so well and fluently english
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borat
Hahah Borat you funny guy
perfect intro haha
Waiting estate/avant..... Thanks Marek....
I like how Audi at least made the driver assistant technologies in the grille symmetrical and didn’t have a big glossy black square on one side of the grill
Great vídeo as usual. Superb images, pace, tone, voice and humor. Regarding the model, this A6 shares many things with the new Q5 2018 (a pity you have not reviewed that one) like MMI, fake exhaust, lane assist, etc etc
fofocho71 It shares everything with the A8! Q5 has older systems.
kraenk12 I know, but I have a Q5 unreviewed! So I do not know if my car is good or bad
As a car guy, I'm seriously having hard time telling all these a4 a6 a7 a8 apart. I hate where the industry is heading...just more and more cost saving compromises.
very good
That intro sums up the 3 brands history, present and future no matter what these brands try to do.
Bmw: young and reckless
Audi: at the prime, hustler
Mercedes: becoming a respected elder grandad has never felt more satisfying
Just wow no words no comments
Excellent review; and, command of English on part of the reviewer. Am currently a C6 (A6 3.2 TFSI) owner. Not sure if this car is compelling enough anymore. Will explore cars with a better value proposition. Oh, and the 'fake' exhausts; c'mon Audi, you can do much better!!
A6 C6 3L TFSI. Beautiful analog car. I don't find it front heavy and incredibly nimble for a 2000kg beast. Best economy i can get is 7.5L/100km highway cruising and 10.5L/100km city driving like Miss Daisy. The c6 3T (supercharger) is a superb donk and has proven to be very reliable, but I'd worry about twin turbo tech with all those extra ECU's and scores of sensors as the car ages. To me the extra complexity to convey refinement is a reliability trap - they are begging electric drivetrains to replace it. I'm confused by the C8 body styling, I thought the C7 looked very "audi chic", the C8 has gone back to a more conservative rounded look. I don't think that exterior styling will pull buyers very well :( - but the interior is a success i will grant them that.
Audi the best one for me ❤👌👌👌
Good...👍
exhaust is subjected to legislated design rules - easier to build to one design that meets the most popular law and have it look the way it looks
But they will put a proper one in the RS anyway.
All I can find is noise regulations.
You can setup the Adaptive Cruise Control to ignore speed limit signs. The are 3 settings - keep the speed limits, sometimes keep the speed limits and ignore the speed limits.
The beginning was soo amazing😂😂😂😂
I just got my A7 with the same engine. Fantastic car, heavy on fuel so far but only done 300 miles. Don't opt for sign recognition or autonomous driving in the tour pack, its horrible. Fab car specced right. Mine has silver and chrome trim which i hate and am getting it wrapped black. This looks great
''It attracts a lot of attention...from men'' lmaoo he made my day
perfect i think is end of line Dears maximum technologi
I love how many people are bitching about fake exhaust, when it’s not even noticeable day to day to the owners or others.
Kann der auch Fliegen 🛩?Wow ein Auto, sensationell und mit Licht sogar ! 👍🙄
Lighting in interior shots is very unfortunate...other than that great review!
Still working on it. I need to soften the lights and buy a brighter lens. Help me on patreon or paypal. Links below. All I need is about 1200 euro for the lens.
Ohh my love 😍
Beautiful lovely
I look forward to when somebody tries to change the temperature of the ac without taking his eyes off the road, or stuffing it into a motorway barrier. And I wonder what the price to replace those screens will be when the car is out of warranty and they've gone bad.
You're very good in English 😊
Audi needs to know the limits of the front wheel base.
if fuel saving (and emissions) was serious, VAG would rip out 200kg
Those fake exhausts are a mega fail!
Reinulf they don’t matter at all.
kraenk12 Everyone should decide for themselves if it matters. If I pay my money for it then it matters to me.
Reinulf agreed. I can't understand why Audi uses the fake exhausts in so many models.
Everyone is doing fake exhaust. So no shit is given.
Intel & Nvidia SUXXZZZ!!! You come across as a teenager trying to sound cool. What's next? Going to the Fuck Field to try and find a fuck to give? Sigh.
Anyway people with discerning taste may prefer not to have fake exhaust tips.
it's not fake exhaust, it's caps! ready for the sports exhausts ,The RS monster that's coming.
I think it is heavier because of that rear wheel steering.
Anyway, BMW still have common sence and do not rely just on touchscreen.
What's with the useless flat space across most of the front panel? You cannot leave anything there and it only obstructs the airflow from the AC exhausts.
Marek, another great review as always, but for some reason, in this video you were missing a whole load of definite and indefinite articles! Eg. *The* A6 and 5 Series... Anyway, don't let my OCD Grammar Nazi side get you down, it was still a great review :)
I like 'business limousines', and I love the A6, but I think they've gone to far with this particular reincarnation, too many driver aids, like slowing the car down when approaching a speed limit. My A4 keeps giving me 'tips', and I wish I could just turn them off completely. And the three screens....it's just too much. The satnav would have been better as a motorised pop-up screen like on previous versions. Just my personal opinion of course.
I think tips in A4 appear only in eco mode. Try driving in normal or custom.
I only ever use Comfort and Sport modes, so I guess on my particular variant it probably does it in all modes.
The reasons it weighs more than BMW 5 series is the fake exhaust and other unnecessary things like too many screens, it looks beautiful but the driver assistance hopefully can be turned off.
If I had 110k EUR to spend, I would buy a Jag I-Pace and have some left for an Alfa Giulia. Audi has become too damn proud of itself...
Świetny angielski.
Looks like Skoda Superb. Change my mind
How about maintenance cost compared with Lexus?
Jak się jeździ po polskich drogach na felgach 21 cali?
Well this might sound odd to some of you - but I like the fact that it's heavier. I mean how often are you gonna go 0-60mph with the pedal on the metal? I would probably never. and apparently the gas mileage isn't affected by it at all so have at it.. make it a two ton
Extra weight is a disadvantage, when it comes to handling. Because physics. And if handling isn't an issue, because who's going to drive a limousine fast, then extra weight also means more strain on the suspension and brakes. Everyone brakes.
What kind of sunroof options are available with this car? it seems big enough to have the panoramic type of sunroof?
There is a panoramic roof option. It goes just beyond the B-pillars.
Fake exhaust...a tragedy for automotive :(
Andrea Caucino You realise soon cars won’t have any exhaust tips anymore?
BMW still have...now, Mercedes, some Audi's, PSA model's..not so many..
Yes. This needs to die. Yesterday. Wth are they thinking? Every reviewer, car guy and their dogs are has been on about this for a good while now.
Just the tip.
Lol.. but yea just the tip fake, not the exhaust.
In September 2018 Audi sold only 95 A6's in the US. No one is buying this car. Unless this car comes with a PHEV powertrain Audi should really stop selling it in the US market.
What color is the tested model? Is it Sohobraun?
I used to love the A6...However the addition of the D.C. 7speed transmission has reduced it's overall durability/drivability @ least in the states. Not a fan obviously of the idea of additional trip to the dealership (additional costs) for the transmission.
00:35 "everything has purpose..." then on 01:06 I can see fake exhaust cover/opening/black color finished frame. I am not shure what is purpose of that.
Probably 60K the outside is plain inside looks great lots of bells and whistles
That thing about company lease was a jaw drop moment for me. What kind of company leases such an expensive car? All the company cars I see on the road are fiat panda, fiat punto, opel corsa, toyota Yaris etc. And all of them are the cheapest trim with a diesel engine. The lease of the a6 would be more than a wage of an employee for most companies.
I assume companies don't lease base Pandas for their top-level management :)
Yeah.. Didn't think of it too much... I just thought average salesman with ~800€ wage. I guess when you have a 6 digit annual income + whatever, you get to have something better than a fiat...
Company will lease this car for you if you own the company ;) or if you are a CEO or something like that.
I suppose not for the normal employee. I think you see them more ofter on the road cause uk/germany etc are bigger countries, and thus more of these cars are on the road.
Here in Liverpool, high position managers get benz e class
It's really nice, but since I'm still young enough I would go with the BMW 5-Series. (If i had the money.)
The C7 is the best design Audi has ever made. New designs do not reflect audi
I don't like the wing mirror placement and the center dash choice of the new generation A6, A7, and A8
3:02 - I also have this model with the Driver Assist Package but when I use the Adaptive Cruise Control, and signal a lane change, it doesn’t change lanes for me. 🤔
This function is inactive in all (or most) markets for legal reasons.
Marek Drives - oh ok. I’m in the US and I figured it was probably disabled since the US NTSA is always blocking some new technology. Thanks for info.
Marek Drives - Although it is interest how they block a lot of foreign imports, but allow Tesla to get away with things like self drive and self park.
Audi is a part of a much greater company, and cannot afford to make a mistake. If an Audi crashed in autonomous mode, big money would be lost, trust in the brand would plummet, etc.
Tesla, with all due respect, is a tech startup, and nobody expects it to get everything right first time round. Even if it costs lives.
I spoke with a Mercedes autonomous driving expert a couple of years ago, and he said the idea is to gradually introduce new solutions. 1. it won't scare off older customers (which Tesla doesn't have), 2. (between the lines) there's always something new to sell, when time comes for a facelift or new generation :)
Marek Drives - yeah makes sense. Tesla is a bit more radical in the decision making and takes a lot more risks as well.
Audi is killing this year with its models
I've just bought a 2018 S6 - and I have to say I'd be disappointed with the 2019 interior - not keen on the dash at all. The fuel gauge looks like something from my 1984 Ford Escort, or a late 70s toy. Might just be me - I'm a major Audi fan - on my 6th one. Touch screen heater controls are a big no no for me. I want to be able to turn up the heating without taking my eyes off the road.
The only mistake done to this car is the fake exhaust
Patryk Stępień this is the base model just wait til the S6 comes next year
Fake Tail pipes are a no no....might as well do away with them and cover the real exhaust fully.!
Adding a reminder to take your phone when leaving the car would be useful!!!
Cheers,
David
This audi example cost $110,000 euros!!! Wow..it’s going sell in states starting 62,000 give or take.. got mine 2016 S6 for 85,000
I'm scrolling through Audi videos to see if they pronounce it right, you passed
So, when is this interior coming to the RS3? ;)
Don't hold your breath ;) Audi has just released new Q3 pics, and lower part of the centre console features physical climate control buttons and knobs.
What about the 4-wheel steering? Not a word.
Not available in the US.
Why anyone would take a BMW with the most boring interior ever that's not changed much for well over 10 years and is basically the same from the 1 series to the 7 series I have no idea and before you get mad I own a BMW lol
Are u buying a car so you can have like 3 displays, massage seats and all other crap that you don't even need, or are u buying a car for driving performance? The less buttons in the car, the better. Cars nowadays, like this one, look more like a spaceship inside then like a car. BMW still keeps a tradition in their interiors and that's what BMW's fans like. #stillbetterthanfakepipes
im guessing... 110k E?
احن 2018💔😂😂.. بقي شوي نخلص السنة نصير 2019
not enough screen on the dashboard
The fake exhaust It’s just for elegant purposes...
If you want more exhaust system can just go ahead to buy sports spec (RS)

no buttons and knobs, is a bad move for serious drivers. All screens, all the time - sux. My 2018 S5, thankfully still has some nice knobs and switch-gear done in nice alloy's.
Than you should know the modern world better cause soon your car will not be for sale
work on your English perhaps - makes no sense

During test drive check engine light came on
I'm shooting in a studio. Ignition is on, but engine is off, hence the light.
They are all stuck in the same old. Last new car I've seen from an EU manufacturer was the i8, and before that probably x6. I think Mission E will be the next cool thing.
So they fitted fake exhausts. Hmm.. does it come with fake emissions as standard too?
I really like sleeper cars manufacturers such as Buick or Audi, but what exactly is the difference between an Audi A&, A7 and A8?
Before you start hating, I'm the biggest Audi fan there is, but I just hate that their mistakes are the worst types of mistakes ever made on a car. Still better than M-B or BMW. Definitely better than Opel...
News flash Mercedes has been using the same exact fake exhaust for a while...
To do with emission regulations I believe. VAG and MB have been through the mill with the regulators so have adapted to new 2021 std early. BMW and other brands have the surrounds ready. At present for some brands you can still see the actual exhauts but this shall change in a year or so and will be blanked out like VAG vehicles and Merc. It looks rubbish granted. Did grieve me trading in a genuine quad exhaust car for this. The 55 TFSI is lovely though - albeit with the fake exhaust thing periodically springing to mind :/
This car is beyond sexy!! Def the best of the big three
I like the car because I like it?
Jesus christ that back is SO FUCKING SICK!!!!!!!!
Michael Scott? Is that you?
genius start line (bmw , mercedes and audi) 😂😂😂

55000Euro?
Great review, as always. Damn handsome (sexy?) car, no doubt. But why does Audi "mail it in" regarding integrating all the sensors into the front fascia. Everyone else (including even Hyundai, Honda and Toyota) manage to integrate and hide all the sensors without compromising the design. Audi has just tacked them under the grill, here and there, with seemingly no engineering aforethought.
I think there are more of them here, so hiding them for example under the logo is not an option.
They did this on purpose to show off it’s capabilities (or so it said on the press release). I do however think they should’ve hidden them too. Just makes the car look less good in my eyes.
