Reviews Summary

The redesigned 2026 Audi A6 marks the ninth generation of midsize luxury sedans from Ingolstadt, Germany. While it shares a name and some tech features with the Audi A6 e-tron introduced for the 2025 model year, the gasoline A6 is an otherwise different vehicle based on the same Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) as the A5 sedan and Q5 crossover. A redesign was certainly needed as most other midsize luxury sedans—specifically the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class—were renewed more recently, and we haven’t had a genuinely new A6 since the 2020 model year.

Verdict: On paper, the A6 looks like more of a premium product than before. But it doesn’t feel that way from behind the wheel, and the tech is a work in progress.

Reviews Summary

What’s the recipe for taking on the German standards in the luxury sport coupe segment? Infiniti thinks it’s technology plus value and a bit of theatre, and it may be right. With a fully redesigned Q60, Infiniti doubles down on the promise it made way back when with the G35 and G37, adding a new GT-R-related twin-turbo V6, a retuned 7-speed transmission, and a fully drive-by-wire setup that promises to be better than you in every regard. But better doesn’t mean fun. After all, a dual-clutch automatic is faster and more efficient than a traditional, 3-pedal manual, but it’s nowhere near as engaging. Regardless, the Q60 doesn’t offer either. What it does offer is striking styling, impressive handling, and more tech than a closeout sale at Radio Shack.
