2022 Audi A6 vs. 2022 BMW 5 Series
The 2022 Audi A6 is an automobile with superb powertrains, an outstanding safety record and wonderful design. How does it compare to the 2022 BMW 5 Series, a car with a spacious cabin, large touchscreens and a high performance engine?
Design & Style
The BMW 5 Series is moderately sized and sold in four different powertrains. Both the bumpers and illumination have been revised in the newest edition and it now has a bigger kidney grille with a frontal fascia that has been enlarged and swept around corners. Within the cabin, the wooden and chrome trim extend along the dash board and its synthetic leather is especially attractive when combined with coffeehouse colored hues.
The Audi A8 can be purchased in the wagon or sedan variant and it has four doors with the choice of a dual turbo V6 or turbo 4 engine. Adventurous outdoorsmen also have the option of an A6 Allroad which uses an elevated riding structure making it ideal for off-road operation. The cabin is roomy with advanced tech such as digital displays and touchscreens in multiple locations, and the seats provide excellent support for the back.
Technology & Safety
The 2022 Audi A6 has garnered a 5 star rating courtesy of the NHTSA as well as the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award. It comes with cruise control that is adaptive and lane control that is active, as well as emergency automated brakes and multiple airbags. Luxuries within the cabin include an audio system from Bang & Olufsen, 9 inch touch display, the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and digitized instrument cluster.
The BMW 5 Series has yet to be tested by the NHTSA though the IIHS also gave it the Top Safety Pick+. It has many of the countermeasures found in the Audi A6, including LED headlights which are adaptive, emergency automated brakes, the ability to detect pedestrians and driver assistance. Luxuries within its cabin include heated/cooled seats, a camera with surround view, sunroof, keyless start and ambient lighting.
Performance
Those that purchase the BMW 550i will get a V8, dual turbo engine that is 4.4 liter and capable of generating 523 horsepower with 553 pounds of torque that allows it to blast from zero to sixty in around 3.6 seconds. Those that purchase the Audi RS Avant will also get a dual turbo V8 engine that can generate 591 horsepower and accelerate from zero to sixty in around 3.5 seconds.
The Bottom Line
The BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 are closely tied when it comes performance and interior amenities. However, the BMW charges extra just for leather and it hasn’t been tested by the NHTSA while the Audi A6 has, making it the winner.
