Back when Audi made just a few models, the A6 was a mid-range but upscale car that blended some of the nimble driving dynamics of the smaller A4 with some of the posh elitism of the flagship A8. Today, Audi sells cars of all flavors, but the A6 remains.

Audi offers the 2022 A6 in a few different forms. There’s a sedan and two wagons, one of which is a beefier off-roady version, and one is a world-shattering performance car. The sedan is offered in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims, while the A6 Allroad wagon is offered in Premium Plus and Prestige trims.

The 2022 A6 will be updated with improvements to trim level standard features and available options in packages. The Premium trim will come with a larger 10.1-inch MMI infotainment screen, a new version of Audi’s Virtual Cockpit Plus, standard rear side airbags, and a direct tire-pressure monitoring system. Audi says that it has increased the availability of advanced driver aids across the A6 model line. A new Black Optic package will be available, which in other Audi vehicles has added larger wheels, carbon-fiber exterior trim pieces, and high-gloss black exterior accents.

Depending on the configuration, the standard A6 can be equipped with one of two engines. The base mill is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 248 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The upgraded powertrain option is a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. This engine also powers the A6 Allroad wagon. Both engines come mated to a seven-speed automatic gearbox and Quattro all-wheel drive.

The high-performance S6 gets a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 rated at 444 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. At the top of the food chain, the RS6 Avant performance wagon gets a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 that makes 591 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque.

There’s no word on an official on-sale date from Audi, but the automaker has given us pricing for the 2022 A6. The base car will start at $55,400 before destination. Stepping up to the six-cylinder engine option drives the price to $59,800. The A6 Allroad starts at $65,900 and the S6 starts at $74,800. No pricing details for the RS6 Avant have been released.
