The 2020 Audi S6: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2020 Audi S6 before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 2020 Audi S6 before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 2 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and power train; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The figures, translated
The powertrain to know here is the 2.9L 6-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
A combined rating of 10.9 L/100 km works out to about 33 litres per 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $50.70 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. With a length of 4.95 m, it counts as on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Luggage space is rated at 453 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the S6 suits
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent first, buy later: a week with the S6 answers the big questions.
The cost of driving it
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $169 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
