2018 Audi A6

Despite being a bit long in the tooth,  the Audi A6  continues to be one of the easiest recommendations we make to family and friends searching for a nice, competent luxury sedan. It’s set to be replaced by an all-new 2019 model soon, but that didn’t stop us from including the current model on  our Editors’ Choice list  for 2018. Its agile handling, snazzy looks, comfortable cabin, and long list of features amount to a well-rounded package that’s undeniably appealing. The standard turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder provides plenty of gumption, but the optional supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 really gives the A6 its legs. Front-wheel drive is standard, but we’d recommend the all-wheel-drive model, which features Audi’s legendary Quattro brand name and all-season stability. It’s rare that a car at the tail end of its product cycle remains this competitive. Simply put,  the next-generation A6  has big shoes to fill. HIGHS Confident handling, zesty V...

Audi A5 Sportback g-tron: first drive of natural-gas luxury sport sedan

Audi’s vision of future mobility primarily centers around an array of long-range electric cars scheduled to debut in the coming years under the "e-tron" badge. These are intended to be Tesla killers, as they’re often called in Germany. But there’s another kind of tron with a “made in Germany” label as well, and it’s not a robot from a 1990s science fiction movie: Audi’s g-tron cars run on compressed natural gas (CNG) as well as gasoline; running on natural gas emits less carbon dioxide per mile. DON'T MISS: Audi A5 is third model to run on natural gas, for Europe only The second-generation A5 Sportback recently joined the A4 Avant wagon and the A3 in Audi’s CNG-powered family. It’s not coming to the United States, but we couldn’t resist the opportunity to take one for a quick spin in Germany. Different kind of hybrid The A5 g-tron has a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine modified to run on CNG, with engine-management software from Bosch. It's tun...

Audi diesel: another shoe drops as top VW Group execs implicated

It has been nearly two years since Volkswagen came clean and admitted its "clean diesel" engines were actually quite dirty. In 2015, a VW engineer admitted the TDI diesel cars sold in the U.S. since 2009 were outfitted with "defeat device" software that let them pass emission tests, only to emit far more nitrogen oxides in real-world use. Two years is a long time to implement damage control, which has cost VW Group $25 billion to date—but the story is continuing to unfold. DON'T MISS: Lasting legacy of VW diesel scandal: EU gets serious about testing A former Audi engineer has now stepped forward and implicated various VW Group executives in the scandal. Zaccheo Giovanni Pamio, former head of thermodynamics in Audi’s engine development department, has suggested the knowledge of VW's wrongdoings goes further up the executive ladder than the company has previously admitted, according to  The New York Times . Pamio has been held in jail in Mun...
