Model Preview
The 2024 Audi S6 receives a midcycle refresh that includes revised styling and additional standard equipment. The body displays a new grille with aluminum inlays and matching side vents, along with a redesigned rear diffuser. All models now come with matrix-design LED headlights.
The mid-level Premium Plus trim picks up standard ambient LED interior lighting. The available Executive Package now includes acoustic glass and road sign recognition, and the Audi smartphone app adopts remote start capability. Buyers also have new interior trims, exterior colors, and wheel designs to choose from.
The S6 is the performance version of Audi's A6 midsize luxury sedan and carries its own engine and handling hardware. The standard twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 features mild hybrid assist and an electric supercharger.
The system puts out 444 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque, delivered to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The sport-tuned suspension and AWD system combine to make the S6 a highly athletic sedan. Rear-wheel steering is available for buyers who want all the grip they can get.
Despite its performance potential, the S6 remains a luxurious sedan with ample seating for five and decent trunk space. Standard interior features include diamond-quilted leather upholstery, power 12-way heated front seats, four-zone automatic climate control, and a power-adjustable heated steering wheel. The line-topping S6 Prestige comes with power soft-close doors, extended leather trim, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats.
Audi's 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit continues on the S6, along with a 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen and a lower 8.6-inch display for climate and other vehicle controls. Navigation is standard on all trims, and the Premium Plus and Prestige get wireless charging, a phone signal booster, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system.
Standard driver assistance features include lane departure warning, parking sensors, automatic high beams, and automatic emergency braking. The Premium Plus and Prestige bring additional technology like surround-view cameras, lane guidance, and adaptive cruise control.
