Audi A6, Audi A8: Executive cars of the year

The Audi A8 has been voted as "Executive car of the year" again, for the third time in a row. Now the Audi A6 also claims that title.

n the executive rankings of German business magazine Impulse, Audi is once again the most successful brand. The Audi A8 in the luxury class and the Audi A6 in the upper mid-size class received most votes from Germany’s senior executives in their respective categories.

The Audi A8 topped the survey for the third time in a row. With its outstanding comfort, superior quality and handling characteristics it convincingly beat off the competition. But just being good is not good enough for Audi. The luxury saloon has just been substantially updated and now offers further enhanced running smoothness and ride comfort, for example.

Impulse readers also voted the Audi A6 their favourite in the “upper mid-size” class. Both the saloon and the Avant are very popular among senior executives. In the other two categories, Audi models were among the leaders, too. In the “sports car” section the Audi R8 took second place at its first attempt, despite being on the market for only a few months. Also in second place was the Audi Q7 in the “SUV” class.
