Looking for a great used luxury sedan? We invite you to compare the Audi A6 vs. BMW 5 Series as you shop for a reliable used vehicle for your Blue Springs drives. Both sedans offer awesome performance, high-tech features, and beautiful interiors.

Take a look at our guide to the Audi A6 vs. the BMW 5 Series. We think the BMW sedan and the Audi model are worthy additions to your Independence garage.

Audi A6 vs. BMW 5 Series: Prices

The BMW sedan price starts at $54,200 MSRP, while the Audi A6 sedan starts at $54,900 MSRP. As you can see, the BMW sedan’s price is a little more expensive, but both of these vehicles offer fantastic performance and luxury accouterments. 

See some of the items you get with the BMW sedan and Audi A6.

  • The BMW sedan comes in four trims, and all except one can be paired with either AWD or RWD. There’s even a plug-in hybrid option, and this means you’ll have seven options in total.
  • The A6 has three trims, and each is offered with two engines, making a total of six options. But you won’t have a hybrid version. 

In the BMW vs. Audi debate, the BMW has a slight edge in the trims and the BMW sedan’s price.

Audi A6 vs. BMW 5 Series: Performance

The BMW sedan gives you four distinct powertrains, with additional options for powertrains with either RWD or xDrive Intelligent AWD. The A6 offers just two engines, and AWD is the only drivetrain available.

If you’re comparing the Audi A6 vs. BMW 5 Series on performance, they are fairly even matched when you want to satiate your need for speed. Even with a great engine, the 5 Series gets up to 33 mpg on the highway near Kansas City, and the A6 only tops out at 31 mpg.

They also offer comparable 3.0L upgrades for both sedans. However, in this Audi vs. BMW debate, the Audi can’t match the higher engine or plug-in hybrid powertrain of the BMW Sedan.

Audi A6 vs. BMW 5 Series: Interior Dimensions & Features

If you want a bigger interior, go with the BMW. It’s got a larger trunk and more passenger space.

  • Trunk Volume: The Audi A6 has 13.7 cubic feet of trunk space, compared to 14.0 cubic feet in the BMW 5 Series.
