The Audi A6 offers an unparalleled driving experience that starts the moment you close the door to the luxurious driver oriented cockpit.  The elegant design of the Audi A6 is defined by iconic touches such as the unique singleframe® grille and the available striking LED daytime running lights and taillights.

The A6 is as fluid and progressive on the inside as it is on the outside. The driver-oriented cockpit with an available three-spoke multifunction steering wheel is the center of the well-designed, handcrafted interior with graceful lines, the latest Audi 3G MMI® operating system and understated wood inlays that create a contemporary yet elegant atmosphere.
