For a long time, the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class have been the executive sedans of choice in Singapore. But now, the Audi A6 has taken the throne.

Its bold and athletic sheet metal hides a cabin that is the best in the business. The intricate mix of aluminium and leather exudes high quality, and is thoughtfully put together. Nestled in this mix are two touch-sensitive display screens, controlling infotainment and vehicle functions.

And perhaps its most winning formula is how it drives. With a stiffened chassis, combined with the standard adaptive dampers, the A6 takes on pockmarked roads with relative ease, offering a cushy and premium ride once only offered by Mercedes.

Driver assistance features such as active cruise control and lane keep assist work even at low speeds and in traffic. That helps in making the driving routine a little more relaxing.

As far as executive sedans go, the A6 excels in ways that really matter. It is comfortable, premium and very well put together.
