2014 Audi A6: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2014 Audi A6 is the arrival of the TDI diesel model, which brings strong low-speed pulling power and better fuel economy to the lineup. This is a trim and powertrain update, not a redesign.
About the 2014 Audi A6
C7 generation (2012-2018 U.S.), pre-refresh, third model year.
Audi presents the A6 as a midsize luxury sport sedan with crisp design, a high-quality driver-focused cabin, and a strong technology story centered on its dashboard interface and available driver aids. Compared with softer luxury rivals, the A6 leans more toward road feel and traction, especially in V6 form with standard quattro, while still serving as a quiet daily commuter and long-distance highway car. In 2014, the model range covers efficiency, performance, and long-range cruising through its 2.0T, 3.0T, and TDI engines.
The 2014 A6 ranges from the efficiency-minded 2.0T Premium with heated leather seats and a sunroof to Premium Plus models with navigation, a touchpad controller, and parking aids. The 310-hp supercharged 3.0T is the sportier choice, while the new 240-hp TDI favors relaxed highway driving with 428 lb-ft of torque. Prestige versions add ventilated seats, four-zone climate control, Bose audio, and extra safety equipment.
