The four-cylinder is standard on Premium and Premium Plus trim levels, while the six-cylinder is available on those trims and standard on the Prestige. All-wheel drive is standard, as is a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

  • Rear passenger safe-exit system (can prevent a rear passenger from opening a door into traffic approaching from behind)
  • Digital instrument panel (Audi's Virtual Cockpit)
  • Larger 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the A6 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Premium Plus
Builds on the Premium with:

  • All the features in the Convenience package
  • Upgraded LED headlights
  • 16-speaker audio system
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)

The optional Executive package for the Premium Plus trim bundles:

  • Four-zone climate control
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Four-way power lumbar adjustment for the front passenger seat
  • Heated rear seats
  • Multicolor LED ambient interior lighting
  • Power-operated trunk

Prestige

  • 12-way power-adjustable front seats
  • Upgraded HD matrix headlights
  • Dual-pane acoustic glass
  • Four-wheel steering

Finally, you can add the Luxury package to the Prestige to get:

  • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • Massaging front seats

Other options for the A6 include:
Black Optic Sport package

  • Sport suspension with a lower ride height
  • Special 20-inch wheels
  • Gloss black exterior trim when equipped with the 55 TFSI engine

Which A6 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the A6 is best represented in its Premium Plus trim with the 55 TFSI engine. This midgrade trim level includes more advanced driver aids, an upgraded audio system, wireless charging and upgraded headlights. The larger 55 TFSI engine also moves the A6 with more authority than the smaller 45 TFSI engine.
