If you are in the market for a beautiful vehicle
that offers a thrilling driving personality, an array of state-of-the-art
technology, and the absolute highest levels of premium automotive luxury, two
names you are probably already familiar with surely would be both Audi and BMW.
These two German automakers are leaders in regards to luxurious and
performance-oriented cars, as the striking new Audi A6 and BMW 5 Series are
true standouts within their segment.
It's true that both the 2018 Audi A6 and the 2018
BMW 5 Series mid-size sedan models are exceptional in similar ways, however
there are some noteworthy differences between the two that you may have missed
upon first glance. Allow us at Maple Hills Auto to show you some of them, so
you can make the best vehicle-purchasing decision possible.

Brilliance Takes On Many Forms for the 2018 Audi
A6
- MSRP for the 2018 Audi A6 starts at a competitive
$49,700, while the 2018 BMW 5 Series has a price tag starting at a more
expensive $52,400. And when you move up trim levels, it remains pricier for
BMW.
- Both models are covered by a generous
4-year/50,000-mile warranty for your peace-of-mind.
- Audi's state-of-the-art quattro® All-Wheel Drive
System is largely considered more comprehensive and more reliable than BMW's
xDrive AWD system.
- The interior cabin of the base trim for the new
A6 offers luxurious leather seating, while the base trim for the new 5 Series
comes equipped with synthetic leather that doesn't quite feel the same.
- The MMI® Infotainment System of the Audi A6
offers seamless connectivity to your smartphone as well as your favorite
applications. BMW's iDrive System can do this as well, but the controls feel
slightly less intuitive and less user-friendly in comparison.
- The 2018 BMW 5 Series has yet to be rated by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), however the 2017 model
with similar safety features earned 4 out of 5 stars for frontal crash testing.
The 2018 Audi A6 earns 5 out of 5 stars overall!
- Both possess very similar levels of ferocious
horsepower and heart-racing torque, making it too close to call for a winner
between these two prestigious and exhilarating sedans.
- While BMW may hold the edge in brand recognition
within the midsize-sedan class, Audi is unparalleled in driving refinement and
enjoyability.
