2022 Audi A6 vs. 2022 Mercedes-Benz C Class
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz C Class is an impressive car with sensational looks, high resolution displays and a moderate hybrid boost during lower speeds. But is all this enough to beat the 2022 Audi A6, a vehicle highly regarded for its extensive lineup, excellent powertrains, and stellar safety record?
Design & Style
The A6 can be obtained in the form of a wagon or sedan, both of which look fabulous. 4 door variants usually come with a dual turbo V6 or turbo 4 engines, and those that purchase the Allroad edition will enjoy a higher riding stance which makes the vehicle well suited for off-roading. Its cabin is extremely high tech and comes complete with digitized displays and touchscreens with minimal conventional buttons.
The Mercedes-Benz C Class also has 4 doors with a cabin that revised and enhanced. The exterior has an extended nose with a trunk lid that has been shortened and lower stance, giving it a sophisticated appearance. The taillights are also faceted while a mesh grille can be seen in front. Passengers within the cabin will get their infotainment via twelve inch touch displays and the dashboard is covered in textured or black trim.
Technology & Safety
Though the Mercedes-Benz C Class doesn’t yet have official crash test scores, it is equipped with an array of modern countermeasures, such as blind area monitoring, adapted LEDs, emergency automated brakes, and activated lane control. Luxuries inside its interior included heated or cooled seats, the option of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, ambient illumination and Burmester audio system.
The Audi A6 has captured the automotive industry’s highest safety awards, which are the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and a NHTSA five star review. It comes with everything the Mercedes-Benz has, including emergency automated brakes, adapted cruise control, airbags, and activated lane control. Luxuries inside its interior include leather upholstery, an audio system from Bang & Olufsen, climate control and digitized instrument cluster.
Performance
The Audi A6 is formidable, especially when purchased as the RS 6 Avant. This variant includes a dual turbo V8 that can generate an impressive 591 horsepower with the ability to blast from zero to sixty in around 3.5 seconds. The Mercedes-Benz C Class is equipped with a turbo 4, 2 liter engine that can generate 255 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in just 6 seconds.
The Bottom Line
The Audi A6 has an overwhelming performance advantage over the Mercedes-Benz. And when you consider the fact that the C Class hasn’t yet introduced a cabriolet or convertible variant and its augmented reality feature is known to lag, this definitely makes the Audi A6 the winner.
