The Audi A6 is most often compared to the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5-Series.
The E-Class is also available as an off-roady wagon for interested buyers, but the sedan is more popular and comfortable.
The 5-Series is relatively old, compared to the bunch, but offers high-performance variants and a plug-in hybrid.
The Cadillac CT5 is a step smaller, but more affordable.
We expect more performance variants to come.
The Jaguar XF is handsome and available as a wagon but compromised in its interior.
The Tesla Model S is the all-electric option and it looks good, but won’t appeal to all buyers.

The 2021 Audi A6 mid-size luxury sedan or wagon is reserved but flexible in its powertrain offerings and body styles. |
Made as a sedan, wagon, coupe, and convertible with four different powertrains, the 2021 Mercedes E-Class has wide appeal. |
The 2020 BMW 5-Series is the goldilocks mid-sizer with a roundel on the hood: comfortable, powerful, and luxurious. |
The 2020 Cadillac CT5 improves upon the agile CTS and at a substantially lower price. |
Especially in wagon form, the 2020 Jaguar XF is an appealing luxury car for those of us not totally sold on SUVs. |
Growing old though it is, the Tesla Model S still looks and feels as fresh as when it first debuted eight years ago. |
