      @H.K_R yes, dull but they had amazing quality and ergonomics. Now they are cheap and awful to use.

      ​@H.K_Rnot always, the A4 B9 has an incredible interior, perfect mix of modern tech like virtual cockpit, but physical buttons everywhere. Just perfect.

    Nice video but that back end is fussy and ugly. Front is just the same as the new A5. I’ve owned A6 for the last 10yrs but not sure I’ll be getting this latest one. Small boot…Sorry Audi.

    Cost cutting crap yet a bigger price. Terrible update, hopefully not many will be sold so they’re not clogging up the secondary market for years. Separate climate controls is a requirement, real buttons on steering wheels is the only acceptable way, and I don’t care if VW group was caught acting illegally with diesel and is now desperate for money – they can’t keep cutting quality and charging more. At this point, they are worse than American or Chinese vehicles and that’s shocking.

    Why don’t AUDI just stick with odd numbers for estates and even numbers for saloons? Then for EV’s just stick an “E” in front of the “A”?
    So an A6 is a saloon. An EA6 is an EV saloon.
    An A7 is an estate. An EA7 is an EV estate.
    _But then car manufacturers don’t think logically, sometimes!_

      To me, having a single model number for cars of the same size and calling them avant or whatever makes more sense. Mercedes’ naming scheme is also logical.

      @disarchitected

      TBF, I think Polestars is the most confusing. Just totally random depending in when the car was launched.

    Exterior looks like Hyundai (especially front). It seems like several German cars are losing their identities recently in terms of design.

    1. @disarchitected Avatar
      @disarchitected

      Hyundai took German engineers and stylists. So really Hyundai look like the German cars.

    I really don’t get why some manufacturers won’t listen to their customers. Literally no-one has ever looked at shiny black plastic and thought wow, this is classy and practical, more of it please. Ten seconds after leaving the showroom, it will be covered in finger prints as you grope in vain for a knob to turn the bloody volume down and a month later scratched to all hell by anything its come into the lightest contact with. So, while some companies give people physical controls, nice looking surfaces and decent equipment levels (and watch their market share increase), Audi drop the quality and empty your wallet if you would like a sunroof in your car. As a final two fingers up at their UK fans, lowered suspension will shake the fillings out of your teeth on crumbling roads and require a visit the dentist that incidentally no longer exists. If I wanted an uncomfortable way to travel surrounded by low quality plastics, I don’t need to spend 60K for the privilege, the Isle of Wight ferry will do the job for a tenner. Would have thought they had learned from the ID3 debacle, seems not. I’ll pass thank you. Great review though 😁

    I still prefer Diesel and petrol engine because they are simply better in every way

    1. @123silentassassin Avatar
      @123silentassassin

      But they aren’t, EVs are smoother, in general more powerful, more fuel efficient, quieter etc…

      The only places where petrol and diesel are better than EVs is range and driving engagement and the range issue is quickly becoming a none issue

    Worrying times for the German manufacturers. Even the incoming Chancellor is saying Germany must diversify it’s economy.

    I repeat myself: Compare this interior with its previous generation… sorry but this is clear step back. I like a lot the previous one, but really I don’t like this one, and I don’t think the majority of buyers in this segment are looking to have everything covered with screens, rather good materials and and high-quality dashboard.

    I genuinely don’t understand why they’ve made this massive car with a boot smaller than the A5… what’s the point of this?

      I wonder the same, I thought the main purpose of estate cars is to be able to carry alot of things ?

    The old a6 is way better the current design language works better on the a4 because of proportions and on the q5 .

    Man, this S trim has become code for ‘destroy the design’ it makes the grill look constructed entirely of cheap black plastic.
