2020 Audi A6 vs. 2020 Cadillac CT6
The 2020 Audi A6 nicely levels the void between full-size and compact luxury sedans. To be honest, this mid-size vehicle is a better choice since it delivers the same luxurious features of a full-size sedan and yet managed to keep everything in a neat, ample-sized package.
The demand for luxury sedans may have dwindled but the competition is fierce than it was before. This is probably the reason why Cadillac cut short the lifecycle of the CT6. The 2020 Cadillac CT6 is on its final model year and it is quite a shame that it is seems to have leveled up its game just now.
Design & Style
The A6 has an understated styling that only made its luxury appeal more pronounced. The sophistication is more subtle with its large octagon grille, LED headlights and sharp taillight. The simplicity also made the interior shine as it is made with obviously high-quality materials. The dashboard design works cohesively with the multiple touch screens and digital implements. Here is also enough visual flair from the contrast stitching and classy wood accents.
The previous CT6 models had a relatively calm styling compared to most Cadillacs. The subtle design details were traded off for a sharper and more angular look. It is more expressive but still a bit softer compared to the superior stance of the A6.
Technology & Safety
Tech-savvy users will be delighted on the dual- screen infotainment system of the A6. It serves as a preview to the exciting tech features of its Virtual Cockpit. Aside from the futuristic appeal, everything works like a charm and is genuinely useful. Its set of safety features is also a top pick for both the standard and optional features.
The CT6 also has remarkable infotainment although it is not as advanced as that of the A6. One of its weak points is the voice-control feature that is frustrating to use at times.
Performance
The A6 is powered either by a 248-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged engine or the more powerful, electrically-assisted V-6 at 335 hp. The rapid acceleration and precise steering are just some of the major hallmarks of the A6. It is one of the quickest cars in its segment and can cope well with quick direction changes.
The CT6 offers either a V-6 or a V-8 engine that are equally powerful. It does, however, feels numb to steer and is not quite as athletic as you would expect from its engine.
The Bottom Line
The 2020 Cadillac CT6 looks convincing but it could have done better to match the well-rounded personality of the 2020 Audi A6. TheA6 is consistent at offering the best features that any luxury buyer wants to see while the CT6 sometimes fall short thus looking like a poor second.
