The A6 offers a healthy blend of luxury, performance, and the practicality of AWD. The A6 features either a 255-bhp V6 or a 335-bhp V8. Although a FWD model is offered, most buyers should opt for the superb quattro AWD models. On the interior, you will find that the MMI system from Audi's flagship A8 appears as standard equipment. The exterior styling features a familiar roofline with a more substantial looking lower-body and the Audi family grille. The ultimate A6 is the S6 performance sedan. Few will guess from the modest exterior upgrades that the S6 has a 435-bhp 5.2L V10 under its hood. Pricing for the A6 ranges from the low $40s to the mid $70s.

All A6 models will wear last year's S-Line exterior changes as standard equipment.
