Used 2022 Audi S6 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

Based on the standard A6, the S6 is a higher-performance version of Audi's midsize sedan. It offers more power from its twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 (444 horsepower, 443 lb-ft) as well as an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. All-wheel drive is standard. It's available in two trim levels, Premium Plus and Prestige.

Premium Plus
Starts you off with:

  • 21-inch wheels with summer performance tires
  • Adaptive air suspension (enhances ride quality and handling and can adjust the S6's ride height)
  • Sunroof
  • Four-zone climate control
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Heated front sport seats

Standard technology features include:

  • 10.1-inch touchscreen
  • Digital instrument panel (Audi's Virtual Cockpit)
  • Navigation system
  • Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Wireless charging pad

The S6 also comes equipped with these driver assist features:

  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the S6 begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • 360-degree parking camera (gives you a top-down view of the S6 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

An Executive package is optional for the S6 Premium Plus. It adds:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the S6 and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (automatically steers the car back into its lane if the S6 begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Additional leather interior trim
  • Heated rear seats
  • Adjustable ambient interior lighting
  • Power trunklid
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

Prestige
The range-topping Prestige includes:

  • Executive package
  • Automatic rear emergency braking (automatically applies the brakes if rear sensors detect an imminent collision and driver takes no action)
  • Thicker window glass for reducing noise
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Soft-close doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Traffic-sign recognition (uses sensors to read traffic signs and displays that information in the head-up display or instrument cluster)

Other notable options for the S6 include:

  • Black Optic package
    • 21-inch black-painted wheels
    • Black-painted exterior trim
  • S Sport package
    • All-wheel steering
    • Sport exhaust
    • Sport rear differential
    • Red brake calipers
  • Luxury package
    • Comfort-oriented front seats with ventilation and massage
    • Passenger seat memory
    • Additional leather interior trim
  • Sport-tuned adaptive suspension (replaces the air suspension)
  • Night vision system
  • Premium Bang & Olufsen 3D Advanced audio system

Which S6 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We only encourage people to step up to higher trims when we think the additional features merit their cost. And that's the case with the S6's Prestige package. In this case that means the inclusion of the Executive package, which adds adaptive cruise control, heated rear seats, power trunk operation and more. The Prestige package also adds Audi's side assist and intersection assist, both of which help reduce the chance of collisions.
