What's New in the 2014 Audi S6?
A blind spot warning system is now standard, as are power-folding exterior mirrors, while a Black Optic package adds optional menace to the S6's appearance.
Which S6 is the Best?
The S6 comes loaded, so the only question is whether you like it more than its rivals. We're not sure which one we'd choose, but the S6 is an incredible all-around package, no doubt about it.

How Much Does a 2014 Audi S6 Cost?
The 2014 Audi S6 is offered only in the well-equipped Prestige ($74,295) trim level. It comes with 19- or 20-inch alloy wheels, quad exhaust tips, xenon headlamps, an adjustable air suspension, a sport rear differential, a sunroof, a blind spot warning system, Audi's Drive Select system (featuring electronic adjustments for steering, throttle and transmission) and Multi-Media Interface (MMI), leather upholstery, a sport steering wheel with shift paddles, power sport seats with diamond stitching, a Google Earth-based navigation system, Wi-Fi hotspot capability and a Bose audio system.
Options include LED headlights, a head-up display, a top-view parking camera, massaging front seats, a Bang & Olufsen audio system and an ominous-looking Black Optic appearance package.
The S6's cabin is beautifully constructed, with high-quality materials everywhere you look and touch. The basic design is a carryover from the A6, of course, but the S6 adds numerous S-specific touches, such as a unique instrument cluster and S6 badging on the steering wheel. We love the sport seats, as they provide that robust lateral support that the A6's standard seats lack. The back seat's bottom cushion is rather low by midsize luxury-sedan standards, but most folks should still be able to get comfortable back there.
In terms of technology, this Audi comes up aces, from the standard iPod/Bluetooth integration to the warm-sounding Bose stereo. Your passengers will undoubtedly be impressed by the crisp, colorful MMI screen, which displays vivid Google Earth images in navigation mode and automatically retracts into the dash when not in use. There's even a touch-pad on the center console that can recognize the commands you scrawl on it with your finger.
Trunk capacity is on the small side for this segment at 14.1 cu ft.
