The 2022 Audi A6’s interior is one of the best in the class, period. For starters, the sedan gets premium leather upholstery right from the base trim onwards along with several creature comforts such as tri-zone automatic climate control, and heating for the front seats. Some of the optional features that can be added through the available packages include a heated steering wheel, quad-zone automatic climate control, heating for the rear seats, ambient interior lighting with multi-color LEDs, and massaging function for the front seats among several other features. Coming to the space, there is no dearth of headroom, legroom, and shoulder room for both the front and rear seats, and the rear seats offer one of the softest cushioning in the class as well. The dashboard gets an advanced design with a multi-screen layout. The driver gets a fully digital instrument cluster display while there are two screens in the middle, one for the infotainment display, and another for replacing the physical controls on the center stack. The trunk space is small-ish for a luxury sedan with only 13.7 cu-ft of space on offer.

The Mercedes-Benz E Class’s cabin takes a lot of inspiration from the pricier S Class, especially that screen-heavy dashboard and retro-modern steering wheel design. In terms of design, the E Class’s cabin looks slightly more pleasing than the A6’s interior aesthetically but has similar space on offer for both the front and rear occupants. The BMW 5 Series has a simpler cabin as compared to the interiors of both the A6 and the E Class but gets a more driver-oriented layout. In terms of luxury appointments and features, it is similar to the rivals here and offers plenty of space for all the occupants as well. The Volvo S90 exudes a distinct Swedish elegance and takes a lot of design cues from the XC90 SUV. Moreover, the S90 has the biggest trunk here too.
