2021 Audi A6 vs. 2021 BMW 5-Series
What can car buyers in Eastchester New York expect from the 2021 Audi A6? First, it has an elegantly designed interior. Second, it promises refined ride and handling. The comfortable seats in the cabin is one thing to look forward to.
Fitted with a 12.3-inch touch screen for its infotainment system, the 2021 BMW 5-Series is promising as well. It has monstrous engines to watch out for. This roomy ride has an excellent safety score too.
Design & Style
All models from the 2021 Audi A6 can seat up to five people in its well-padded seating configurations. It comes standard with leather upholstery, with eight-way power-adjustable heated seats up front. Both rows have plenty of legroom and headroom, and since seats have been cushioned for one's comfort, longer drives are never a problem. Adding style and modernity to this cabin is its soft leather surfaces, and premium cabin materials.
When it comes to the 2021 BMW 5-Series, expect synthetic leather upholstery inside. This one has 16-way power adjustments too. While that seems impressive, expect that the driver and his co-pilot will have a hard time finding the seating configuration that fits both. The overall design is dull when compared to its rivals, including that of the A6.
Technology & Safety
The 2021 Audi A6 is gifted with the MMI infotainment system that has two touch screen displays. One is an 8.8-inch upper display, and the other is an 8.6-inch lower one. This supports functionalities flawlessly, among them are Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Amazon Alexa, 10 speakers, USB ports, HD and satellite radios, Bluetooth, and navigation system. Safety equipment for the ride includes the Audi Pre Sense Front which covers functions such as forward collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking, and Audi Pre Sense Basic for imminent collision. It is also gifted with front and rear parking sensors, lane departure warning, and rearview camera.
The 2021 5-Series, on the other hand, has the iDrive infotainment system with a 12.3-inch touch screen, and a 12.3-inch digital driver display. It also supports smartphone integration for Android and Apple. It has 12 speakers, two USB ports, a satellite radio, and HD radio. It is confusing to use the setup because of the rotary dial added to the system. While it has been rated excellent in terms of safety, there are only a few things to enjoy in this department. Some of them are forward collision warning, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning.
Performance
There are four engine choices for the Audi A6. One is the four-cylinder, turbocharged engine that aspirates up to 248 horsepower. A turbo-V6 is also available and this one yields up to 335 horsepower. The twin-turbo V6, meanwhile, can result in 443 horsepower. The last variant, a twin-turbo V8 naturally yields 591 horsepower.
Meanwhile, the base engine for the BMW 5-Series is a turbocharged, four-cylinder, 2.0-liter version. This can aspirate up to 248 horsepower.
The Bottom Line
The 2021 Audi A6 combines all the good elements that you are looking for in a luxury ride. It balances all of them as well. This makes the BMW 5-Series lag behind it.
