The 2021 Audi S6 does a lot of things well and a few things great. In terms of performance and driving dynamics, it's right there with the class leaders. The interior is roomy and has excellent in-car tech. If you want a large, comfortable and somewhat subtle luxury car with a surprising amount of performance, it doesn't get much better than the S6.

2020 Audi S6 Premium Plus 4dr Sedan AWD (2.9L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
Just got my S6 2 days ago. I've had a lot of cars, but this is my first Audi. This car is a blast to drive. Very fast, sharp handling, but comfortable ride. Quality seems impeccable. Electronic interface is superb, interior is gorgeous, and exterior is also beautiful. Perfect car for me.

2021 Audi S6 Prestige 4dr Sedan AWD (2.9L 6cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
I been enjoying my 2021 S6 for 7 months now. I am expressed with the ride, the comfort and performance. It drive effortlessly, with ease it can respond to my decision and make the move. The only cons I have is the auto/stop. I wish I could turn it off and it stay off on the next key cycle, until I wanted it on. I wish it also had remote start. I love this car though. It's a pleasure to … drive.
Audi!!
