Audi S6 review 2020: An electric compressor + turbo V6 makes this an awesome GT cruiser!

  • There are two versions of the 2020/2021 Audi S6 - a turbocharged petrol and a turbocharged diesel. Thankfully in Australia we don't get the soot blower and instead we get the perky turbocharged V6 petrol that comes with a 48V electric compressor to pre-charge the turbocharging system!
    It's a cool system and makes the Audi S6 very responsive, but is the S6 a little too soft around the edges compared to the BMW M5 Competition and Mercedes-AMG E63 S? Watch and find out!

    Great review guys
    I'm getting around 10L/100kms combined; down to 8 on highway.
    Piano black is fine ....if you touch it you will leave greasy prints; so I don't touch it. Easy
    There is a fair bit of glare from the centre console in the middle of a sunny day; too much IMHO but I can live with it
    Exhaust note is not something you would buy this car for; great engine that works well to move the weight of the S6.
    It is not an RS5 but not that far off in sporting ability. They share many aspects of their drivetrains.
    Compared to an RS5, it differs in that the S6 is extremely comfortable, passenger friendly and rides on air suspension.
    Great car to cruise in and out of the city every day. And you can make it go fast when you want to.

    Paul, would it be fair to say piano black could be polished back if scratched? Would that be why almost all manufactures use it? Not tried it myself but it seems like a surface that could be corrected if lightly scratched.

    Not a fan of the way Audi have positioned the sensors on the new models. There doesn’t seem to be many groundbreaking features that require the new sensors as the old ones were tucked away nicely and appear to offer similar safety features on many of the 2019 models.

    Remember the old days when black surrounds were base model material and you had to pay extra for colour coded? 😂 It’s a good looking car. Agreed that the alloys aren’t the best design. Interior looks good (is there options to the piano black?) but I still prefer physical buttons for climate etc so you’re not distracted while driving. You mentioned the car has a SIM card and there’s a port for ken, does that mean there’s two? One for personal data and one for car/emergency functions?

    • @pratapp

    You've got to get past the existence of SUV's - I'm probably going to end up with one for my next car because they don't make utes anymore. Before you say 'But.....the Ranger et al' - their trays are too short. If I could buy a two seater version with a covered seven foot tray, like my 2015 Holden ute, I would. But I can't.
    As I don't make a million bucks a year, I can't buy an RS6 Avant, so it is looking like a RAV4 (if they bring the PHEV to Australia) or the VW id.4 if it is long enough with the seats down. I have a few years for this to happen, so we'll see.

    Diesel V6 eats this petrol in torque for breakfast likewise it also does with fuel economy which is massively better than what this petrol v6 does 14l/100 km is just stupid. Also, the diesel is also fast. Say what you want about the diesel V6 but I'd take the diesel over this petrol. 14l/100k is a total joke. If those kind of fuel numbers wouldn't bother me it means I have money to spare and in that case I'd buy the RS6.
