CT: The Audi A6 has an impressive array of cabin tech which you can already take advantage of by purchasing just the base model. Some of the must-have features are the Bang & Olufsen sound system, Audi MMI Touch, navigation system, adaptive cruise control, and full park assist system.
All seats are comfortable and supportive, especially when they are available with heating and cooling functions. But reviewers have mixed opinions about the rear seat. Some say it has more legroom than other vehicles in the class. Others think that the cushions are too low, making them slightly less comfortable for taller passengers. Meanwhile, the 14.1-cubic-foot trunk is average for the segment.

2. Audi offers a variety of automatic parking systems for its entire model line-up. They operate by means of either ultrasound or cameras, which display images via the on-board monitor.
One particularly convenient solution is park assist. When backing into a parking space, it performs all the necessary steering movements; it can handle both parallel parking and parking perpendicular to the street. The system finds a parking space with side-mounted ultrasound sensors that scan the parking spaces at the side of the road in two dimensions while driving at moderate speed. The system notifies the driver via a message in the display once the sensors have found a space which is large enough.
