The Audi A5 Avant is the stylish, nimble estate that turns everyday runs into a bit of a pleasure drive, whereas the Audi A6 Avant trades some of that sporting charm for a roomier cabin, extra tech and a composed motorway demeanour. Choose the A5 if you crave sharper looks and livelier handling, but pick the A6 when genuine loadspace, rear-seat comfort and a touch more executive gravitas matter — even if it asks for a slightly bulkier wallet.
