Which one to choose between the A6 and Touareg? Please, experts, explain.

Preferred choice for Touareg 3.0

Go for the Audi A6. That Volkswagen doesn't have any prestige.

I'm also torn between the Touareg and the A6 Allroad.

I previously switched from an A6 to a Touareg. Apart from the agility in handling, the A6 doesn't compare to the Touareg. The fuel economy is better, and when the transmission is set to comfort mode, the DL382 7-speed dual-clutch is smoother and more responsive than the Touareg's ZF 8AT. The chassis, especially the vibration filtering and air suspension comfort, as well as sound insulation (including tire noise), can't match the Touareg. The A6's suede and leather seats easily crack. I'm not sure if there have been improvements in the current A6, but the initial C8 model had rear seats that were uncomfortable, almost unusable due to their concave shape. During the two years I had the C8, I claimed the clutch assembly twice. I've driven the Touareg for 100,000 kilometers and have claimed for the center differential. The low-speed turning vibration is significant, which is a common issue with the Torsen C. Ultimately, choosing between a sedan and an SUV depends on your needs.

Choose the 55 version of the A6.

What's the point of comparing sedans with SUVs?

Touareg, fully imported.

The Touareg is much better than the A6. My friend has an A6, 55, and I have the Black Edition.

I was initially considering between the A6 Avant and the Touareg, and I eventually chose the Touareg. Firstly, I'm not that concerned about the brand. Secondly, the SUV meets my driving environment needs better. Lastly, the Touareg's configuration is almost fully loaded, while for the A6, you need to add options which cost a lot, and you have to wait for the car. Of course, if you like the Audi badge and don't care much about the configuration, the price is relatively cheaper, and it's also a good buy. The A6 Avant indeed has great looks.

Both the Allroad and the Touareg ultimately opted for the 8AT.
