The hybrid version of the A6 makes for one interesting luxury sedan—it is perhaps what a young, successful business executive with a keen interest in environmental issues would drive. Audi markets this car as a mid-powered sedan with a sweet spot for efficiency, although that doesn’t mean that it has lost any of the driving thrills that make it an Audi.
While some reviewers note that it is somewhat less satisfying to drive as compared to its gasoline counterpart (the standard A6), others note that it still feels like a true Audi—cool and composed when cruising but still hell-bent on eating up the kilometres when you put the pedal to the metal. The A6 Hybrid’s [TC3] 2.0 litre 211 horsepower engine also seems to beat out the competition in its class in terms of torque, making for a refined driving experience.
Despite being a luxury cruiser, every car does have its flaws. Some of the minor downfalls to this hybrid lie in its clunky regenerative braking system and its small trunk. Besides the minor flaws, this hybrid really is one cool, eco-friendly cat. The A6 Hybrid goes for RM280,000 (without additional options), which is RM235,000 less than the flagship model. We have the current tax exemption and the A6 hybrid’s smaller but powerful engine to thank for this huge difference in price.
