About the Audi A6 C8
The C8-generation Audi A6, introduced in 2018, brought the brand's flagship 'Virtual Cockpit' and dual-touchscreen MMI interface to the executive class. The 40 TDI variant features a 2.0-litre diesel engine equipped with a 12V mild-hybrid system to improve stop-start smoothness and fuel efficiency. In S line trim, the car receives 19-inch alloy wheels, lowered sports suspension, and more aggressive body styling. It is widely regarded for its class-leading cabin refinement and high-speed stability, though it prioritises comfort and technology over the driver engagement of its BMW 5 Series rival.
