Summary
The new 2026 Audi A6 TFSI proves the traditional luxury sedan isn't dead yet. Built on Audi's new Premium Platform Combustion architecture, this ninth-generation A6 sticks with Audi's proven formula- a turbocharged 3 -liter V6, quattro all-wheel drive, and a classic four-door layout. Gen 9 but layers in more performance, a quieter, more refined ride and modern tech. In this first-drive review from Newport Beach, CA, I cover pricing, trims, driving dynamics, interior tech, cargo space, and how the A6 stacks up against rivals like the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and Genesis G80. Shopping for a luxury midsize sedan? I've got your real-world impressions without the fluff. Let's go! Tom attended an Audi sponsored event to produce this video. Opinions remain his and his alone.
