• Infotainment: standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with the latest MMI infotainment system, plus a standard 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and 14.5-inch touchscreen.
• Fuel efficiency: The A6’s EPA-rated 23 mpg combined (20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway) isn’t bad for a generously-proportioned sedan with a V6 and AWD.
