byJosh Jacquot^{Correspondent
Josh Jacquot is an automotive journalist at Edmunds.}

Pros

Attractive and refined interior
Comfortable seating and smooth ride quality
Lots of high-tech features

Cons

Infotainment interface can be challenging and distracting to use
Not as much trunk space as competitors

What's new

Revised front and rear styling
Ambient LED interior lighting and dual-pane glass standard on upper trims
Part of the fifth A6 generation introduced for 2019

Overview

From the outside, the 2024 Audi A6 plays the role of the stoic German sedan perfectly. Its subtle but attractive form blends seamlessly with traffic and won't raise an eyebrow at the country club. But from the inside, the midsize Audi is anything but subtle. Its tech-rich cabin is punctuated by two large screens, perfectly stitched leather and precise secondary controls. Opulence and exacting finishes demonstrate a commitment to luxury not present in a comparable BMW 5 Series. And to top it off, it drives well.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Audi A6 Premium 4dr Sedan AWD w/45 TFSI (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 7AM) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.45 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Refreshed but not as sharp as before

For 2024 Audi renewed the A6's styling with a new front grille and a revised rear diffuser, but unless you're among the Ingolstadt cognoscenti, you won't notice. One change that will matter are the Matrix-design LED headlights (standard on higher trims) that provide greater visibility without blinding oncoming drivers. But several years ago Audi did away with the A6's optional 21-inch wheels and summer tires. Without the assistance of that rolling stock, the A6 lost the performance edge it once had over some competitors. But most people don't buy a car in this class to race up their local mountain road, and the A6 still excels at being a superbly rewarding place to spend time whether you're driving it around town or on a multi-day road trip.

Competitors to consider

The most obvious competitors are the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which have their crosshairs on the same buyers as the A6 and match its performance, comfort or price, but probably not all three simultaneously. Alternatively, you can spend less and get less with Acura's TLX.

Which A6 does Edmunds recommend?

We think it's worth stepping up to the turbocharged V6-powered A6 55 in the Premium Plus trim. This midlevel model gives ample power as well as adaptive cruise control and a 360–degree camera, which both improve the driving experience, especially in the city.

Audi A6 models

The 2024 Audi A6 is available in Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels, each available with one or more option packages. Audi offers a choice between two engines. The first is A6 45 TFSI that features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (261 horsepower, 273 lb-ft) and is available in the Premium and Premium Plus trim levels. The A6 55 TFSI has a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (335 hp, 369 lb-ft) and is available in all three trim levels. Both engines employ a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which sends power to all four of the sedan's wheels. Keep reading for more detail on the A6's standard and optional features.

2019 Audi A6 3.0 TFSI Premium Plus quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 7AM)

I wanted to update the review of my 2019 A6 premium plus with the 3.0L engine, sports suspension and adaptive cruise technology. The car remains the most fun to drive vehicle I’ve ever owned. The new MMI that appeared radical a year ago is now so familiar. I love the ability to toggle and change info on the screens. I couldn’t imagine going back to the old push knob that seems archaic …

I traded my 2016 A6 premium plus 2.0 engine for the 2019 A6 premium plus 3.0 engine. After having had an E class Benz and 5 series BMW I have to say this is the finest car I have owned. Responsive, elegant, comfortable, and simply a fine ride.

2024 Audi A6 First Impressions

byReese Counts

•6/29/2023

What is the A6?

Sitting dead center in the middle of the German automaker's lineup, the Audi A6 is a midsize luxury sedan with sharp styling, solid performance and one of the most comfortable and premium interiors you'll find at this price point. The A6 has been on sale since 2019, but it's still one of the strongest and most competitive luxury sedans on the market. In addition to its solid styling, comfort and driving dynamics, the A6 is available with solid in-car tech and a wide array of driver aids. Audi has announced that updates are coming for the 2024 A6, including revised exterior styling with new bumpers, grille and wheels and more standard features and in-car tech. The A6 is only a few years old, so this should help it remain competitive in the face of new competition.

The A6 is offered in a wide array of variants, including the lifted A6 Allroad wagon and the sporty S6 with a strong turbocharged V6 engine. Our favorite version remains the Audi RS 6 Avant, a high-performance station wagon with mean looks and an even meaner engine. All of those cars are different enough from the standard A6 that we review them separately, but all share the same overall feel and character, a good thing in Audi's case.

But the A6 is far from alone in its class. Other midsize luxury sedans include the aging BMW 5 Series and recently redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The Genesis G80 and Volvo S90 both offer slightly more space at a slightly lower price tag than the Audi, but neither can match the A6's luxury feel in terms of interior quality, tech and comfort. There are also more stylish alternatives like the Mercedes-Benz CLS and BMW 8 Series, though if either of those appeal, we suggest checking out the swoopy and practical Audi A7 hatchback. It's basically an A6 with a sleek roofline and extra storage.

Edmunds says

Final specs haven't been released yet, but Audi has announced a few updates for the 2024 A6, including more features and a fresh face. Check back with us for all the updates on the 2024 A6 as we find out more.
