Default Question about A6, coming from a BMW

Just sold my 2012 535i and looking to get into a A6 but had a couple of questions.

Is there a big difference between 2016 and 2017 A6 3.0 Prestige? The 2016s are about $4k to $5k cheaper and was wondering if I would notice a difference between the two besides being a year newer.

I def. want the Driver Assistance Package and Prestige trim. Did they update or add any new features between the 2016 and 2017?

Anyone come from a 535i? Are you happy with the A6?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

It depends on which country you are in as to what options are available and/or changed.

Good job. If Appleplay or Google is important to you then wait for some other answers as I’m not sure of the changes of those years. Get the virtual cockpit and the led headlights. Also check for the HUD.

The things that i love and wouldn’t do without:
1. HUD
2. Drivers Assistant Package.
3. Prestige package in general. I have had a premium plus, never again.

The things I probably would not do without:
1. The upgraded seats.
2. 18 inch tires.
3. Heated rear seats and heated steering wheel.

i can not speak about the difference that you asked. I own a 2018. I love it. I have heard an awful lot of great things about the 2016 new diesels that are or were available from some dealers. If you can find one of those they are a great deal.

If you are getting Prestige I think the only difference is CarPlay. You would have to find the car optioned with Driver Assistance, which I do like. HUD and LED headlights should be standard with Prestige. Virtual cockpit is only on the 2019 models.

Can someone please confirm this?

Carplay would be nice but I can do without it if I can save $4k.

Thank you!

Yeah I got a '16 Prestige TDI that is awesome. The MPG and comfort (it has no sports package) is great. I had to go to Washington to get it but it was a dream to drive back. Going on 13k miles and nothing wrong. Definitely go for the Prestige and IMO get it sans-sports package. Had a '14 with it and whenever I had backseat passengers they commented on how uncomfortable it was.
