2022 Audi A6 vs. 2022 Lexus IS
The 2022 Lexus IS has a fabulous presence with improved infotainment, optimal safety features and sporty handling and steering. But how does it fair against the 2022 Audi A6, a sexy car which offers a broad performance range, excellent gadgetry and an outstanding safety record?
Design & Style
The Audi A6 is free of a sloping roof which is found in the A7. Instead, the designers chose a classical sedan shape and as a consequence the passengers get superior outward vision. However, it still maintains many of the brand’s traditional design cues, such as the large, octagonal grille which is framed with LED headlights. The side profile is mostly flat, but is blistered near the wells of the wheels to amplify its appearance. The cabin features multiple touchscreens with a prominent instrument cluster that is fully integrated inside the dash. The Lexus IS uses numerous angles and cuts in its exterior design. Its frame is long and wide, with a mesh hourglass style grille. The LED lights are placed on top rather than the bottom which is the case for other cars. Within the cabin, a revised touchscreen dominates the horizontal dash which accentuates the wide profile using vents which are stylish and circular.
Technology & Safety
The Lexus IS has a number of safety features designed to prevent accidents before they occur, but if an impact still happens its outer shell will do great job of shielding the occupants. As a result it has won the prestigious Top Safety Pick Award. Some of the countermeasures offered include pedestrian detection, emergency automatic brakes, driver assistance and blind area monitoring. Cabin perks include voice commands, Amazon Alexa, ten inch touchscreens, and Android Auto. The Audi A6 has received a perfect five star safety rating from the NHTSA as well as the Top Safety Pick Award, and this is due to its many luxury features which match the Lexus IS. Luxuries within the A6 cabin include leather upholstery, eight inch touchscreens, panoramic sunroof, heated seats and Apple CarPlay.
Performance
The Audi A6 is outfitted with a 3 liter, twin turbo V6 engine that can generate 335 horsepower. The Lexus IS has a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 241 horsepower with 258 pounds of torque, enabling it to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 6.9 seconds.
The Bottom Line
While both of these cars are powerful and similarly equipped when it comes to safety and luxury features, the Audi has a performance edge and the rear seats within the Lexus are cramped and the powered trains have been recycled, which is unacceptable given its price and stature, so the Audi A6 is the winner.
