Product Overview

Audi S6 Avant C8 (Type 4K) is an executive station wagon in production from 2019. It is available with a couple of V6 engines. Naturally, AWD is standard.
In Europe, the car is a 3.0L "TDI" diesel model. For the rest of the world, a 2.9L petrol is used.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Audi S6 Avant C8 comes with multi-link suspensions at all four corners. This provides the best cornering performance and tunability, at the expense of cost and a little bit of durability.

autocar[1]

Reviewer score 58%
Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The S6 is fast, for starters. The oomph of 344bhp and a whopping 516lb ft of torque is more than adequate once you squeeze north of 2000rpm. On motorway commutes, the ride experience hits all the usual adjectives for an Audi: quiet, refined, perhaps a little aloof. There’s little reason to leave your cocoon of comfort for a wet and windy forecourt too often.

Pros
  • Impressive range and economy
  • Quattro four-wheel drive
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Audi’s infotainment system isn’t the best

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The new Audi S6 Avant is an incredible all-rounder. Almost perfectly fulfils its brief as a fast, fun family wagon. Diesel power suits it well and the driving experience hasn't suffered. We just wish the standard version was available with the air suspension fitted to our test car.

Pros
  • Powerful engine

  • Not as fun as a BMW 5 Series Touring
