US News Best luxury cars 2014

In the latest rankings by U.S. News and World Report in the ultra-competitive large luxury car segment, the 2014 Audi A6 has ascended to the top of the heap. Based on test drives, published reviews and safety/reliability data, the new A6 has bested the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5-Series and Lexus GS.

The 2014 Audi A6 is blessed with an exquisite interior while offering an amazing driving experience especially with some of the more powerful engine options which has led to the recent accolades from reviewers. The responsive handling of the new A6 has led many to believe it possesses the best driving experience in its class. Many reviewers have noted the new A6 blends the best of both the comfort-driven Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the sporty handling of the BMW 5-series including Kelley Blue Book which said:

“While the BMW 5 Series has long been the obvious choice for enthusiasts, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the preferred ride for those seeking more traditional luxury, Audi’s A6 strikes a unique balance: technology and design, performance and efficiency.”

Adding to its value is the EPA-estimated mpg of 25/33 for city/highway in its base model which is great for a large luxury car while its diesel A6 TDI boasts an impressive 24/38 mpg making it easy to see why Audi has achieved its 37th consecutive monthly sales record in January of 2014. The commitment to a luxurious ride inside and out is what has led to Audi’s continued record growth over the years.
