Used 2014 Audi S6 Sedan Review & Ratings

Performance

With a comfortable ride, sharp handling, and exhilarating V8 engine, you will know exactly where your money went the first time you can't help but take the long way home. The 2014 Audi S6 Sedan is motivated by a fierce 4.0-liter V8 and seven-speed automated manual to crank out 420 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It can sprint to 60 mph in only 4.5 seconds, but manages to return 17 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. These numbers may not look impressive, but for an all-wheel drive with this much power, they certainly are. Audi quattro® was the first permanent all-wheel drive system created for passenger vehicles more than 30 years ago. When you put it to the test you will immediately recognize its confidence-inspiring grip. It is as ideal for inclement weather as it is for twisting mountain roads. With its precise steering, standard air suspension, and exciting acceleration, it is easy to see why few can compete with the 2014 S6 in the luxury sedan segment.

Appearance

Subtle details have managed to transform the showy cruiser into one that you just cannot take your eyes off of. Sweeping lines make it appear as though it is in constant motion. It boasts brilliant aerodynamics, the Audi Singleframe® grille, quad exhaust outlets, unique wheels, and iconic LED headlights that slice through the darkness.

Comfort

The cabin of the 2014 A6 echoes of sophistication. As always, it is one of the nicest in the segment. Drenched with leather and given a generous quantity of soft touch surfaces, this is an interior you will find hard to leave, but thrilled to return to. The seats are comfortable and supportive, and even tall adults will enjoy riding in the backseat. The handsome dash is designed with the driver in mind. The Multi Media Interface system is controlled through a dash-mounted pop-up screen. It is user-friendly, and boasts crisp graphics and straightforward menus.

Cargo

Just when you think that the sedan is flawless you open the trunk. Although 14.1 cubic feet is adequate for most, it does not measure up to the competition.
