Exploring the Interior of the A6
When you enter the A6, your attention is immediately drawn to the curved, high-set screen that extends across the top of the dash, providing a sleek and modern look. This innovative system, first seen in the Q6 E-tron, features a large 14.5-inch OLED touchscreen with incredibly crisp graphics.
The MMI interface is user-friendly, with easily accessible icons and permanent shortcut buttons for seamless navigation between screens. However, some users may find it challenging to control the ADAS system and locate certain functions like screen dimming. The haptic touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel can also be a bit bothersome.
Despite these minor drawbacks, the interior of the A6 is undeniably luxurious. The optional panoramic roof adds to the overall ambiance, allowing you to customize the shading in various sections and patterns. While the interior lacks the same level of sophistication as the i5, it still exudes classiness.
One area of concern is the tactile quality of the plastics used in certain areas of the cabin and door cards. While the overall design is aesthetically pleasing, some may find the materials to be lacking in premium feel for a vehicle of this caliber.
On the plus side, the A6 offers ample leg and headroom in the rear seats, making it comfortable for passengers. However, individuals with long legs may find themselves slightly cramped due to the high floor. Families will appreciate the three sets of Isofix seat anchorages and practical plastic backings on the front seats for easy cleaning.
In terms of storage, the A6 features a compact ‘frunk’ in addition to a 502-litre boot space in the Avant model. While the boot is deep and wide, the sloping rear windowline limits overall cargo capacity. Compared to its competitors like the i5 Touring, ID 7 Touring, and Macan Electric, the A6 falls slightly short in terms of storage space.
