On the other hand, the Aud A6 can be fitted with two separate engines. While they’re both packed with power and might, you’ll have the power of choice with the BMW.
Inside the BMW 5 Series and the Audi A6, you’ll have a cockpit designed for you. Either luxury sedan fills its cabin with large display screens and premium technology that puts you directly in control of your ride and your on-road me-time.
Inside the 2023 Audi A6 and the 2023 BMW 5 Series, you'll discover an impressive lineup of technologies, too. One such feature is an available?16-speaker premium audio system?in either model that effortlessly envelops everyone on board in crystal-clear sound.
Along with that, you'll find?Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™?in each sedan, which enables you to access your mobile apps through the enlarged icons on the center displays.
Sitting at the wheel of either sedan, you’ll notice fully digital displays ready to connect you to the outside world and to your luxury car. The BMW’s Live Cockpit Professional and the Audi’s Virtual Cockpit Plus include expanded instrument clusters and central information displays that present your infotainment and navigation in stunning quality.
While their infotainment systems are controlled by touch, the BMW’s can also be controlled by the iDrive Controller. This convenient feature lets you dial in to your entertainment. Plus, its ergonomic placement means you can comfortably browse your infotainment without overextending yourself as you drive.
Cars this advanced need to go the extra mile to help keep you safe. That’s the bottom line. Fortunately, the 5 Series and the A6 make your security a top priority with their fully integrated safety suites.
The 5 Series and the A6 offer driver-assisting safety features to monitor and respond to road hazards for you. Frontal Collision Warning, automatic high beams, and Lane Departure Warning are just a few of the driver-assisting features available.
Active Blind Spot Detection also comes standard on the BMW. This feature keeps an eye on your blind side to make you feel more confident when merging on the highway or when navigating busy streets. Audi offers a comparable feature that’s available with an upgrade.
While the smart safety features are quite similar between these cars, the BMW 5 Series provides a nice bonus. Fatigue and Focus Alert keeps watch on how you’re feeling by monitoring your driving patterns. This highly personalized feature is just one of the ways in which BMW goes the extra mile to help protect you.
If you’re chasing that “very important” feeling, you’ll find just what you need in the BMW 5 Series. While the Audi A6 comes close to achieving this experience, it repeatedly falls short.
