The Audi A6 is a competitive player in the midsize luxury sedan segment. It goes head-to-head with the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The A6 strikes a near-perfect balance of sporty and luxurious in one desirable package. It also has one of the most excellent interiors in its class, which is a high bar.
The Audi A6 has three powertrain options. The base powertrain is the 45 TFSI engine, a turbocharged 4-cylinder rated at 261 horsepower. Drivers looking for more robust performance will be interested in the 55 TFSI powertrain, a turbocharged V6 making 335 hp. The S6 sport sedan employs a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 with a healthy 444-hp rating. The Quattro all-wheel-drive (AWD) system is standard on every A6 and S6.
The Audi A6 model range is broken into three trims: Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. This simple trim structure lets you pick your level of luxury and performance based on your taste and budget.
