Luxury executive sedans have always been regarded highly in the automotive market. They are a perfect combination of comfort, convenience and performance. Those looking to buy a luxury sedan usually choose the E-segment sedan<\/a> over the flagship models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this week\u2019s comparison, we have two such luxury executive sedans competing: the Audi A6<\/a> vs the Lexus ES<\/a>. Will German precision engineering reign supreme over the meticulous Japanese craftsmanship? Let\u2019s find out in this detailed comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of dimensions<\/a>, the Audi A6 is a larger sedan out of the two. The A6 has a longer wheelbase<\/a> resulting in a roomier cabin as compared to the ES. Additionally, there are a couple of long-wheel-base models available at the dealer level in the UAE for extended rear legroom and enhanced comfort for chauffeur-driven cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of exterior design, as is with all executive sedans they are understated to look fresh for the years to come. While the German follows this design language to the book, the same cannot be said for the Lexus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ES has a bit more flamboyant, rich and premium design as compared to the A6. Again, looks are very subjective, and both appeal to buyers in the segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving to the comfort and convenience<\/a> part of the comparison, both sedans come loaded with similar equipment.

However, the standard equipment is enough to cocoon you in comfort, while being chauffeured around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
