The 2021 Audi A6 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Audi A6 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page puts the 2021 Audi A6 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
There are 12 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 27 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, forward collision avoidance and engine. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the figures tell you
Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through a 7-speed automatic. It is a hybrid: the battery charges itself as you drive and brake, so there is nothing to plug in. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
The EPA rates it at 9.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 27 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $141.10. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA measures its luggage space at 396 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the A6 answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the A6 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $141.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.11 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2021 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Ready to ask?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2021 Audi A6 from us first.
