Audi has expanded its A6 model line with a new business-class sedan that merges elegance with technological sophistication. Set for a global rollout beginning mid-April 2025, the new A6 Sedan embodies the marque’s commitment to design excellence, aerodynamic efficiency, and driving comfort, marking a new chapter in the premium full-size segment.
This latest iteration of the A6 boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.23 — the lowest ever achieved by an Audi production model powered by an internal combustion engine. It exemplifies Audi’s advancement in aerodynamics, combining subtle design refinements with high-performance engineering to enhance both efficiency and performance.
Underpinning the new A6 is a range of modern petrol and diesel powertrains, all integrated with the brand’s MHEV plus mild-hybrid technology. This system supports the combustion engine with electric assistance, allowing smoother acceleration, lower emissions, and greater fuel efficiency. It also enables limited electric-only driving in low-speed urban conditions and while coasting. The line-up includes a 2.0-litre TDI four-cylinder engine producing 204PS, and a 3.0-litre TFSI six-cylinder delivering 367PS. Both benefit from the electrified system’s additional torque of up to 230Nm and a power boost of up to 24PS during overtaking or take-off, while recuperation during deceleration can reach up to 25 kW.
Visually, the A6 Sedan features Audi’s latest design language — a balance of sportiness and stately elegance. The vehicle’s clean, streamlined profile is defined by a characterful curve along the upper window line, a sharply contoured tailgate, and a wide diffuser that contributes to its aerodynamic stability. At the front, the signature low-slung Singleframe grille is flanked by sleek LED headlights and newly optimised air curtains that manage airflow while adding to the vehicle’s assertive road presence. A front spoiler integrated into the bumper and detailed underbody paneling further enhance aerodynamic performance by reducing lift and improving stability.
At the rear, the elongated tail section subtly inclines upwards, contributing to visual dynamism and aerodynamic function. A continuous light strip links the precisely styled taillights, while a vertically mounted brake light reinforces the sedan’s premium credentials.
Audi’s engineering emphasis on balance and control is evident in the inclusion of advanced suspension systems. The optional adaptive air suspension refines the ride height and damping to suit varying driving conditions. In standard driving mode, the car rides 20mm lower than with conventional suspension; in dynamic mode, this lowers by an additional 10mm, reducing drag and sharpening response. This suspension setup contributes to a harmonious blend of athleticism and luxury ride comfort, whether on city streets or long-distance motorway drives.
Also available is Audi’s all-wheel steering system, designed to enhance both agility and high-speed stability. At lower speeds, the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front, reducing the turning radius and making urban manoeuvres easier. At higher speeds, the rear wheels turn in the same direction, improving stability and cornering precision. The result is a sedan that handles tight corners with confidence while delivering a planted, composed ride at speed.
Comfort has also been significantly enhanced inside the cabin. Audi has improved its sound insulation by up to 30 percent compared to the previous generation. This is achieved through enhanced window and door seals, an upgraded tailgate seal, and noise-reducing materials in the tyres and engine mounts. The result is a quieter, more refined driving environment that befits the vehicle’s premium positioning.
The new Audi A6 Sedan will be manufactured at the brand’s facility in Neckarsulm and will be made available globally.
