The seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is short on refinement at low speeds, and the car hesitates before launch or from a rolling stop. In our tests, the four-cylinder returned a commendable 26 mpg overall. Agile handling makes the A6 feel sporty. The ride is taut, with underlying firmness, but still comfortable. The quiet cabin is a delight in terms of fit and finish; the seats are extremely comfortable and supportive. The dual-screen infotainment system is daunting at first, but we found it to be ultimately logical. Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking are standard. A wagon and a performance S6 version are new for 2020.
