2022 Audi A6 vs. 2022 Porsche 718
The 2022 Porsche 718 is a world famous coupe that dazzles with its exotic appearance, superb build quality and spectacular performance. But is it good enough to best the 2022 Audi A6, a sedan which has earned acclaim for its fabulous finish, pristine safety record and formidable powertrain?
Design & Style
The Audi A6 comes in two body styles, which are wagon and sedan. There is also an off-road variant called A6 Allroad which uses a much higher riding stance than the standard model. It has excellent fuel economy and an exterior which is classy and conservative, with an extended hood and pronounced fender flares in the Allroad version. It can carry up to five passengers.
The Porsche 718 can be acquired in the form of a roadster named Boxster or a coupe named Cayman. Both seat only two passengers as it is designed primarily for speed and maneuverability, which is why it also incorporates rear wheeled drive with a turbocharged engine. It has a lovely exterior that will grab attention everywhere it goes, with curves as smooth as silk.
Technology & Safety
The Porsche 718 has yet to be crash tested by either the IIHS or NHTSA, so it is difficult to gauge its safety rating. However, it is equipped with a number of countermeasures that include adapted cruise control, airbags, parking sensors for the front and back, blind area monitoring and emergency automated brakes. Comforts within its interior consist of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, seven inch touch display, leather wrapped seats that can be heated and climate control.
The Audi A6 has well documented safety credentials, and all of them are good. Not only did it capture a perfect five star review from the NHTSA, but the IIHS also bestowed its most exclusive award, the Top Safety Pick+. This is because the A6 has everything the Porsche 718 has and more, including night vision and ceramic brakes. Its interior comforts are also extensive, consisting of a Bang & Olufsen sound system, the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, multizone climate control and a digitized instrument cluster.
Performance
Those that want the absolute best Audi A6 will purchase RS 6 Avant, which comes with a V8, dual turbo engine that is four liter and capable of generating 591 horsepower with the ability to cruise from zero to sixty in only 3.5 seconds. The most powerful Porsche 718 is the GT4, which comes with a flat six engine that is four liter and capable of generating 414 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 4.1 seconds.
The Bottom Line
The Audi A6 seats twice as many passengers as the Porsche 718 yet still crushes it in performance. And this combined with the Porsche’s nonexistent safety reviews makes Audi the winner.
