Bought one off this review... thank you 😊

Is she new? She’s quite good. Not trying to be overly thorough like the usual lot who all end up saying the same thing.

This PHEV is AWD only. The BMW 530e has a choice of RWD or AWD, and the Mercedes E300e/E300de has RWD and AWD as well.

Pretty disappointing review .. a lot of people coming here to watch would be interested in a real world MPG scenario which you barely touched upon on .. otherwise its the same 10 minute blurb you can get on Carwow.

If you're buying an A6 you'd probably be a stickler for a smooth ride.

What’s the difference between the PHEV and the Mild Hybrid?

Good vid because if I had had had money I'd want to buy it

7kw maximum charging power is not even close to "real electric vehicles" aka BEVs. Fastest AC public chargers could charge with up to 40kw. Hopefully those phevs won't block the 22kw and 40kw public chargers for 2hours just to save some fuel cost, while someone with BEV could really need the charger.

The range thatpurely electric vehicles will go now has made me change my mind about plug in hybrids, would sooner go pure electric

[peternatens]

Peugeot 508 gt ❤225hp plug in hybride is much better

No no don’t buy this Audi 6 after 18 plate with new staff .
I m Audi lover . But bought this models is big mistake in my life .
Start with main problem lane alignment in Uk no one can do your lane alignment I tried all tyre company then last I have to go back in main dealer and they cost 150 pound for check and 190 pound to do lane alignment and wheel blanching.

2 - big is sensors your wheels pressure every week come that low pressure

3rd light and fog light sensor any time or and off .

4th doors are not soft closing every plenty of time I have to come out and close .

I had a4 a5 before never have any problems. So in Uk plz make sure u check this things before you buying Audi a6 2019 2022 plate . Thanks

What’s the point 40 mpg just get a diesel. It’s cheaper and better

[anjadhussain]

Yabba dabba doo is the only way forward.

[mikeyonwin]

Thumbs Down.
Sorry, not the presentation.
I just do not understand the concept of an ICE with a BE - one or the other!
