Audi RS6 Avant vs

Mercedes-amg E63 S Estate

The 10.1in touchscree­n is sharp and has smart graphics. It offers haptic feedback but, with no physical controller, you still have to look away from the road to nd and hit the icon you want.

As in the E63, Apple Carplay and Android Auto are standard, but you have to pay extra to upgrade the stereo; the standard system sounds decent, though.
