We Recommend 

The 2013 Audi S6 Sedan is a well-recommended luxury sports sedan in the segment. Attractive, comfortable, tech-rich, and powerful, the Audi S6 checks all the right boxes. With 21-inch wheels and the Black Optic package, the S6 is quite fetching. If one has more than enough money, the Cold weather package with a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats would be a package for getting extra comfort inside.

The 2013 Audi S6 is powered by a 4-liter, eight-cylinder engine that is force-fed air by a turbocharger and sips gasoline via a stratified fuel injection system. Power at the crank is estimated at a maximum of 420 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. With the engine mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission which delivers power to all four wheels, the quick acceleration of the S6 bursts the car from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. 

The Audi S6 has three suspension modes: Comfort, Auto, and Dynamic. While the top speed of the S6 is limited at 155mph, the Cadillac CTS-V has a top speed limit of 186mph. The Cadillac CTS-V with its bigger engine delivering a bigger power to its rear wheels accelerates quicker than the S6 of the same segment. You can have fun in the S6 without worrying about triple-digit speeds. When comparing the quarter-mile numbers, Audi is the fastest at 12.1 seconds.

Despite that blistering performance, the 2013 S6 returns better fuel economy than the 2011 model, thanks to a refined cylinder-deactivation system supplemented by variable valve timing. The EPA estimates stand at 17 mpg city/27 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined. Cylinder deactivation helps bump gas mileage and is undetectable through the use of sound-canceling and self-adjusting engine mounts that hide vibrations.

The 2013 Audi S6 Quattro has a standard fuel tank capacity of 19.8 gallons that provides the S6 with a range of 535 miles on highways to a lower range of 337 miles on city traffic conditions. Even though the Mercedes-Benz E550 Sport 4Matic provides a better range with a bigger tank capacity, S6 stands not much far on fuel efficiency aspects. It is recommended to use premium gasoline on the S6 for better performance and engine health.

The S6 isn’t a hard-core track car as it embraces its street ability with a soft ride in Comfort mode and a quiet interior on the highway, where most performance versions of cars sacrifice comfort or interior noise and vibration characteristics to achieve heightened performance goals. The S6 also features in-car Wi-Fi, which uses a 3G connection and adds Google Earth data to the navigation system while also providing simplified Google search for points of interest.

Additionally, there are no real buttons for selecting among the multiple driving modes. Any change in Comfort, Dynamic, or Auto modes is done through the clunky screen and knob system. You should be able to switch easily between different modes on the fly, whereas the BMW M550i has it right with its programmable steering wheel controls for drive modes. Whether you stay with the standard sport seats or opt for the comfort seats, we're fairly confident you'll find them supportive during spirited back roads driving and comfortable on long trips. Also, the rear row provides more real-world legroom than most rivals. Major interior features include-

• Diamond-stitched leather upholstery
• Real ash wood accents
• 12-way power heated front sport seats
• Four-zone automatic climate control
• Power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel

Infotainment 

Drivers view the infotainment system via a motorized 7-inch touch screen that slides and rotates out of the dashboard and interacts with that system with a variety of physical controls on the center console. A large control knob is surrounded by 11 large buttons with shortcuts to the various sections of the infotainment system, including navigation, telephone, radio, media, car options, and the main menu screens. Even though the S6 showcases an excellent infotainment system, in competition, it could be made better for the segment. Major infotainment features include-

• A head-up display
• Parking System Plus
• AM/FM radio with HD Radio decoding
• Integrated 2DIN Audio
• USB & Auxiliary input
• Bluetooth Connectivity
• Touch Screen
