In addition to that it accelerates all the way to 243 kilometers per hour, 3km/h more than the other car. Škoda is undoubtly more agile, reaching 100km/h in 1.1 seconds less than its competitor. Independent research findings rank A6 as average reliability-wise, and Superb is more or less at the same level.That apart, owners of different cars powered by the same engine as the German car rank it on average as 5.0, while the one under the competitor's bonnet gets 3.0 out of 5. These are the results of an independent reasearch, while our visitors describe reliability of Audi with an average rating of 4.1, and models under the Škoda badge with 4.4 out of 5. I don't like generalizing things when it comes to reliability, although it does seem that Škoda as a brand displays somewhat better results, when all the models are taken into account. Both vehicles belong to the luxury car segment, which is generally a very good thing safety-wise, still it doesn't help us solve our dilemma, does it? Furthermore, if we'd like to consider vehicle mass in this context too, which we definitely should, the German car offers a considerable difference of 10% more metal.

Still, apart from the official crash test results there are other things we need to be aware of. Good thing is that both vehicles got tested, with the same number of safety stars gained in the process. The first thing to look into here would be the results from European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) tests performed on the two cars. The first one has a 6-cylinder, 24-valves 204hp unit, while the other one gets its power and torque from a 4-cylinder, 16-valves 220hp one.

Both the engines are Volkswagen-engineered. Having both cars powered by petrol engines and utilizing the 4-door sedan body style within the same 'Luxury car' segment, the only major difference here really is their wheel drive configuration (4 x 4 for the Audi and front in the case of the Škoda). Still, each one has something different to offer. Two significantly similar cars, no doubt about that.
