Audi A6 allroad

Where it stands out against its peers

• Electrical system: more complaints than 96% of 2021 cars — 54% of its 24 complaints, where an ordinary 2021 car has 22%.

Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.

Crash test

Crash-tested by NHTSA, the American road safety agency.
