2014 Audi A6 Avant diesel vs 2014 Mercedes E-Class 2.1 hybrid: which would you go for?

Expert answer

Hi Tania,

We really like the E-Class diesel hybrid — it’s a surprisingly good mix of technologies, very frugal, hugely comfortable and should be reliable too. The Audi is similarly lovely, hardly any less economical, albeit not quite as nice to drive. Head says the Mercedes, especially with that hybrid system, but heart says the more stylish Audi, especially as it’s the Avant estate, and we do love a good estate around here.
