2013 Audi S6 Luxury Sports Sedan Review

Autobytel’s Chris Wardlaw provides an overview and impressions of the 2013 Audi S6 sports sedan in this video. The 2013 Audi S6 fits in both the sports car and luxury car categories, thanks to its performance capabilities and high end comfort features. Though the Audi A6 is, on its own, a capable performer, the higher-performance S6 provides an extra punch without drawing too much attention to itself, since there are only subtle visual differences between the A6 and the S6. As Chris notes, preferences may vary, as some luxury segment buyers might prefer a more showy exterior. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4-liter V8 engine, this Audi can hold its own on the road or the track. Audi’s permanent all-wheel-drive Quattro system comes standard on the 2013 Audi S6, which gives this car excellent handling and drivability characteristics. A 7-speed S-tronic automated manual transmission competently handles the engine’s 420 horsepower yield, yet allows the driver to exert a little bit of control. Features such as individual climate control and high bolstered diamond-quilted sport seats add plenty of class and comfort to the cabin. Autobytel’s test model rang up at about $79,000, which is a considerable premium over the standard Audi A6. This Autobytel video can help potential buyers decide if the extra performance and features of the 2013 Audi S6 make it worth the cost to trade up.
