Audi A6 Unveiled

The 2025 Audi A6 Sedan: What to Expect

There’s some exciting stuff happening with Audi, particularly with the upcoming release of the 2025 A6 sedan. The U.S. will soon see this sophisticated machine despite a brief halt in shipments due to a hefty 25% tariff. But now, let’s dive into what makes the new A6 compelling.

Design

The 2025 A6 sedan seems to have borrowed some design cues from its Avant sibling, especially in the front. The rear part of the sedan, however, has its unique flare, with a wide LED light strip and genuine exhaust outlets—a refreshing switch from those ‘faux’ pipes. The elegance of the A6 is something Audi fans have come to adore, and this latest model is no exception.

Interior

Inside, both the sedan and Avant configurations offer a nearly identical dashboard setup. These feature a futuristic, tech-oriented design with a large instrument cluster and a secondary display for the front passenger. Audi seems determined to reclaim its throne in interior luxury—a reputation that had taken some knocks in recent times. Only time will tell if they’ve hit the mark this time.

Engines

When it comes to engines, the A6 provides solid choices. The 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder produces 201 horsepower. For those seeking more grunt, the 3.0-liter TFSI V6 churns out a healthy 362 horsepower. While Europe gets additional diesel options, the U.S. market sticks with these gasoline engines.

Performance

Driving one of these feels like the perfect blend of sporty and refined. The four-cylinder delivers adequate power for everyday jaunts, while the V6 kicks things up a notch, offering a satisfying punch when merging onto highways or tackling twisty roads. Comparatively, the A6 feels a bit sharper than a BMW 5 Series but maintains the comfort you might find in a Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

What’s Ahead?

Questions remain about the potential introduction of the sportier S6 and RS6 versions for the sedan, currently more relevant to the Avant. Regardless, the A6 sedan presents itself as a strong competitor in the luxury segment. Sales in Europe should kick off by the third quarter of 2025, with expectations for U.S. showrooms to follow, assuming those tariffs don’t throw another wrench into the plans.
