The 2027 Audi A6 is a quintessential luxury sedan, offering a silken driving experience, premium cabin, high-tech features, and contemporary design. Its exterior styling is less flashy than rivals, adding a layer of stealthiness to its unique character.
All models come with a turbocharged V-6 engine that produces 362 horsepower, driving all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The A6 is a performer, with smooth acceleration and athletic handling that gets even more capable when equipped with the optional air-spring suspension system and adaptive dampers.
Expert Tip: If you want your Audi sports sedan with an electrified powertrain, consider the A6 e-tron, which offers a similar vibe but is powered by electric motors.

Most features from last year's Premium Plus and Prestige trims remain as optional extras, while others, including a heated steering wheel, a 360-degree camera system, and a leather-wrapped airbag cover on the steering wheel, are now standard.
A new Driver Assistance package includes an integrated dash cam, a head-up display, and a self-parking feature. A new Executive package adds more luxury items, including a Bang & Olufsen stereo, dual-pane acoustic glass for the A6's side windows, and a 10.9-inch touchscreen in front of the front-seat passenger. Sporty features are included in the new Vorsprung package, including an adaptive air-spring suspension system and all-wheel steering.
The A6's cabin is spacious, with top-notch materials and ambient lighting throughout the interior. A large glass roof floods the interior with light and can be adjusted to be transparent or opaque. Four-zone automatic climate control and an air purification system are also available.
In terms of performance, the A6's acceleration results put it 0.1 second ahead of the Mercedes-Benz E450 4Matic, but 0.2 second behind the BMW 540i. The EPA estimates that the A6 should deliver 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined.
