What's New in the 2022 Audi S6?
Like the A6 was for 2019, the Audi S6 is all new for 2020. Compared with the outgoing model that was offered through the end of the 2018 model year, the 2020 Audi S6 boasts a new design, a new engine and a new interior. Highlights include the new 48-volt mild hybrid system, more power and better integration of autonomous safety features, such as the newly-added Adaptive Cruise Assist, which can help pilot the vehicle over short distances on the highway.

Which S6 is the Best?
The A6 is an exceptional midsize luxury sedan that already offers great performance, and its S6 variant is arguably more car than anyone would ever need, but its design and performance capabilities are certainly something to marvel over. In addition to the A6's comfort and luxury elements, the S6 offers excellent performance thanks to its 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD system. If we were already spending over $75K on a performance sedan, we'd have a hard time not springing an extra $6K on a Prestige model that includes the Driver Assistance package (mandatory, if you ask us) and comes with cool tech and convenient features, such as Audi's HD Matrix-design headlights, a power opening and closing trunk and more.
