Trunk dimensions Audi A6 Sedan

The trunk of the Audi A6 Sedan 2013 offers a volume of about 18.7 cu ft, which increases to around 59.3 cu ft when the rear seats are folded down.

The rear bench is split in a 40:20:40 ratio, allowing flexibility when transporting luggage. The interior design is high-quality, with a practical loading edge and an easily accessible opening.

The trunk dimensions vary slightly within the model range but generally remain compact and functional. Typical features include the elegant shape and thoughtful arrangement that promote easy loading. The trunk is also equipped with various storage compartments that increase practicality.

Model Information

The latest series Audi A6 is a sedan known for its combination of elegance, technology, and performance. The current generation offers a variety of modern features, including an advanced infotainment system, sophisticated driver assistance systems, and a selection of efficient engines.

The sedan combines sporty design with a comfortable interior that appeals to both drivers and passengers.

Variants of the Same Series

Within the Audi A6 lineup, there are different variants that differ in body style. Besides the sedan, the Audi A6 is also available as an Avant (wagon), which offers more cargo space and flexibility.

Another variant is the Audi A6 Allroad, characterized by increased ground clearance and all-wheel drive. These models should not be confused with the sedan, as they have different features and use cases.

Yearly Differences

Model changes affecting body and trunk dimensions mainly occurred in 2011 (C7) and 2018 (C8). The C7 generation brought an increase in dimensions and thus trunk space compared to the previous generation. The C8 generation continued this trend by further optimizing dimensions while maintaining trunk volume.

Direct Competitors

In the same price range and size, the Audi A6 competes with models like the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

The BMW 5 Series offers a trunk volume of about 18.7 cu ft, comparable to the A6. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class, on the other hand, has a slightly larger trunk volume of around 19.1 cu ft. These differences are minor but can be decisive for buyers who need to transport a lot of luggage.

More Affordable Alternatives

For buyers looking for more affordable alternatives with similar trunk dimensions, models like the Skoda Superb or the Ford Mondeo are worth mentioning.

The Skoda Superb offers a trunk volume of about 22.1 cu ft, making it an attractive option. The Ford Mondeo also has a trunk volume of around 18.5 cu ft. These models provide good value for money and sufficient space for most transport needs.

Trunk Volume

For the Audi A6 Sedan 2018, conflicting figures exist: Manufacturer's specification: 12.7 cu ft, independent measurements: 18.7 cu ft. A summarized figure in the fact package states about 15.7 cu ft (which corresponds to approximately 5.95% more than the average car).

Practical effect: Using the averaged value of ~15.7 cu ft, the A6 is well suited for everyday use for large shopping trips, luggage for short to medium distances (e.g., 2–3 large suitcases + carry-on luggage), or significantly more shopping bags.

The range of numbers suggests that the actual usable capacity can vary noticeably depending on measurement method, equipment variant (e.g., spare wheel well), and storage usage.

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

Dimensions: 194.5 in long, 74.4 in wide, 57.5 in high.

  • Compared to the average car, the A6 is 15 in longer (+8.3%), 1.6 in wider (+1.9%), and 4.3 in lower (-6.8%).
  • Compared to a typical parking space, the sedan is 2.4 in shorter (so it fits lengthwise in a standard parking spot) and 24 in narrower (leaving side space).

Practical effect: The longer vehicle length mainly affects tight inner-city streets or narrow garages — turning radius and parking maneuvers require more space and attention.

For parking spaces, the length is unproblematic (fits in standard spots), the width is within normal range, leaving side room for exiting. The lower height promotes a low center of gravity (beneficial for driving dynamics) but may slightly limit headroom inside for very tall persons.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

As a sedan, the A6 has a separate trunk, meaning:

  • The cargo door opening is generally narrower and higher than in wagons or hatchbacks — this limits loading very bulky or long items.
  • The wide range of volume figures (360–18.7 cu ft) suggests that interior shapes, niches, and spare wheel wells significantly influence actual usability.
  • For frequent transport of very long items (e.g., furniture parts, long pipes), a wagon/Avant or proof of folding seat function is advisable; for pure vacation or shopping use, the volume is practical.

Practical tip: Before purchase, check how wide the trunk opening is, whether a pass-through or folding rear seat is available, and how high the loading edge is — these affect everyday usability much more than the pure liter number.

General Model Information

  • Familiarity: The Audi A6 is an established business/executive sedan in the upper mid-size class and belongs to Audi’s core lineup.
  • Special Features: Typical are high-quality workmanship, refined chassis tuning, and a package focused on comfort as well as dynamics.
  • Characteristics: Noticeable are the relatively large length combined with low height and the significantly varying trunk volume figures (manufacturer vs. independent measurement).
  • Price-Performance Ratio: The A6 positions itself in the premium segment: higher purchase and maintenance costs than mid-size models, but better materials, comfort, and technology. For buyers valuing brand, driving comfort, and a representative interior, the price level is typical.
  • Competitors: Main competitors are BMW 5 Series, Mercedes‑B‑Class/E‑Class (sedan), and the Volvo S90; in all cases, consider whether trunk shape or seat variability is more important than brand preference.
