The midsize Audi A6 delivers the luxury and performance of its larger A8 sibling but with more interior room and presence than the compact A4. It’s the perfect middle child taking on fellow luxury legends like the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, as well as other models like the Genesis G80, Volvo S90, and Lexus ES.
Alongside its stylish exterior and stunning cabin are three powertrain options. The base A6 45 trim uses a 261-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, while the A6 55 models get a 335-hp turbocharged V6. The S6 ups the performance quotient with a sport suspension and a 444-hp twin-turbocharged V6. Every A6, regardless of trim or engine, comes standard with Audi’s excellent quattro all-wheel drive system.
Buyers can choose among three trims: Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige. Several option packages vary by trim.
Let’s take a look and see which 2024 Audi A6/S6 works best for you.
Prices are current at the time of publishing.
What’s New:
Changes for 2024 are primarily cosmetic. The A6 gets a revised front end, interior upgrades, and new wheel designs. Matrix-design LED headlights are now standard on all trims, while adaptive cruise control is added to the Premium Convenience Package.
Premium Plus and higher trims gain multi-color ambient interior lighting and adaptive cruise control, while the Executive Package gains dual-pane acoustic glass and traffic sign recognition.
Our Recommendation:
For most drivers, the midrange Audi A6 Premium Plus trim offers the best blend of luxury and value.

The entry-level A6 45 Premium brings an impressive list of Audi features at a price that may surprise.
Audi gives the A6 Premium a healthy sampling of standard safety and driver-assist systems, although oddly, adaptive cruise control is optional (part of the Convenience Package). Standard driver-aids include forward collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, front and rear parking sensors, a rear backup camera, automatic high-beam headlights, and lane-departure warning. Standard airbag coverage includes rear seat outboard side airbags.
The A6 Premium’s exterior gets a new grille and front bumper design this year, along with Matrix-design LED headlights. Other exterior features worth noting include heated auto-dimming and power-folding side mirrors with memory, 19-inch alloy wheels, a power panoramic sunroof, a proximity keyless entry system (unlocks the door by touching the handle), power trunk lid release, and Advanced line exterior trim.
The Premium’s cockpit spoils occupants with black, gray, or brown leather seating surfaces. You’ll find a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel with shift paddles, tri-zone automatic climate control, 8-way power front seats with 4-way power lumbar support and heat, plus cruise control, a leatherette padded dash cap, LED interior lighting, and an integrated toll module.
Audi’s Virtual Cockpit Plus features a configurable digital cluster, allowing the driver to choose from multiple screen designs.
On the infotainment front, the A6 Premium features a 10-speaker audio system hooked to an MMI Navigation Plus system with a 10.1-inch touchscreen. The Audi smartphone interface connects wirelessly to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Audi connect apps offer various services and functions, including remote start.
An available Black Optic Sport Package adds a sport suspension, high-gloss black exterior trim, and unique wheels. A Convenience Package adds adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance, wireless charging, blind-spot monitoring, a heated steering wheel, and a 360-degree camera.
After a $1,095 destination fee, the starting price of the 2024 Audi A6 Premium comes to $58,395. On a 60-month loan at 5% interest and $0 down, the monthly payment will start at about $1,102. See 2024 Audi A6 Premium models for sale near you
