2 Answers
A6 is larger in size compared to A5. The dimensions of A5 are 4705mm, 1846mm, 1341mm; while the dimensions of A6 are 4886mm, 1810mm, 1475mm. Taking the Audi A5 2021 Coupe 40TFSI Fashion Dynamic model as an example: this car has a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, a 2-door 4-seater hardtop coupe body type, and a top speed of 243 km/h. Taking the Audi A6 2004 1.8T manual basic model as an example: this car is manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen Audi, classified as a mid-to-large-sized car, with a gasoline energy type, a 5-speed manual transmission, a 4-door 5-seater sedan body type, and a top speed of 208 km/h.
As an owner who has driven both the A5 and A6, I find the A6 noticeably larger in daily use. The A5 is my commuter car for work—compact and easy to park in tight spaces. In contrast, the A6 serves as our family workhorse, stretching over 4.9 meters in length with a wider body and a wheelbase about 30 cm longer. This directly translates to a super-spacious rear seat, comfortably accommodating kids or three adults without feeling cramped. Beyond its larger exterior, the interior is significantly roomier, and the trunk offers much greater capacity for luggage or shopping bags. The A5 is more compact overall, ideal for city driving, while the A6 feels steadier on highways with less wind noise. Size also impacts fuel efficiency: the A6 consumes slightly more, but the comfort justifies it. If you frequently carry passengers or take long trips, the A6’s size advantage is clear. However, the A5 delivers more driving fun with agile handling. Overall, the A6 is the larger option, better suited for those prioritizing space.
