Audi is expanding its A6 model lineup with a classic business sedan that sets new benchmarks in design and aerodynamics, bringing innovation and comfort to the premium full-size segment. With a drag coefficient of 0.23, it achieves the best aerodynamic performance ever recorded for a combustion-engine production model in Audi history. Equipped with modern gasoline and diesel engines featuring MHEV plus mild hybrid technology, the new A6 offers enhanced efficiency alongside improved performance.
Combined with advanced suspension systems, the A6 Sedan excels in everyday usability and long-distance comfort. Both the adaptive air suspension and all-wheel steering deliver a high level of driving comfort and agile handling.
The body of the new A6 Sedan is clean and purposeful. Its reduced, brand-specific design language blends elegance with sportiness. A distinctive curve along the upper window line defines the car’s dynamic character. At the front, sleek headlights, the prominently placed Audi rings, and a wide, low-mounted Singleframe grille create a commanding presence. Integrated into this is a refined airflow concept. Key aerodynamic features include optimized side air intakes and air curtains that enhance airflow and reinforce the sedan’s strong appearance. A front spoiler built into the bumper, together with underbody panels, helps control airflow and reduce front-axle lift.
The rear design also contributes to the sedan’s upscale look, with its elongated shape and gentle upward slope. Rear lights with sharp detailing and a continuous light strip enhance visual width and presence, while the vertical brake light further defines the vehicle’s rear identity.
The notchback silhouette plays a major role in the car’s aerodynamic excellence. A sharply curved tailgate and a concave groove ahead of it optimize airflow separation. Combined with a large, wide diffuser, the rear design achieves a balanced mix of low drag and controlled rear lift, boosting overall driving dynamics.
The optional adaptive air suspension fine-tunes the blend of sportiness and comfort. It adjusts ride height and shock absorption and improves aerodynamics by lowering the body. Compared to standard suspension, the air system lowers the car by 20 millimeters in normal mode. In dynamic mode, it drops another 10 millimeters, enhancing the sporty feel. At high speeds, the lower setting is used automatically in balanced and efficiency modes to reduce drag.
Optional all-wheel steering boosts agility and precision. In combination with the stiffer progressive steering, it improves response and road feedback. At low speeds, the rear wheels turn opposite to the front, improving maneuverability in tight spaces. At higher speeds, they turn in the same direction, providing enhanced stability and cornering precision.
The MHEV plus mild hybrid system is key to the sedan’s refined driving experience. Both the 2.0 TDI four-cylinder engine with 150 kW (204 PS) and the 3.0 TFSI six-cylinder with 270 kW (367 PS) feature this technology. MHEV plus supports the engine, enhances comfort and performance, and reduces CO2 emissions. It allows electric parking and low-speed driving in urban traffic or when coasting, and it can add up to 230 Newton meters of torque and 18 kW (24 PS) of power during acceleration or overtaking. Up to 25 kW can be recovered during braking.
Cabin sound insulation has improved by up to 30 percent compared to the previous model, further enhancing comfort. Tightly sealed windows, optimized door seals, and a tailgate seal all contribute to quieter interiors. All tires 19 inches and larger come with built-in noise absorbers. Newly developed engine and transmission mounts also reduce vibrations and noise for a smoother ride.
The new A6 Sedan will be manufactured in Neckarsulm and sold globally. Orders begin in mid-April 2025, with deliveries starting in summer. The entry-level TFSI 150 kW model is priced from 55,500 euros.
