2014 Audi S6: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Audi S6 is a light update, not a redesign. Its biggest change is that more driver-assistance and convenience equipment became standard, while the twin-turbo V8 and all-wheel-drive performance package carried over.
About the 2014 Audi S6
C7 generation (fourth-generation S6 / fourth-generation A6 family), second U.S. model year, pre-facelift.
Audi positions the S6 as a fast but polished midsize luxury sedan, not a stripped-down track toy. The draw is big V8 power wrapped in a quiet, upscale four-door with all-weather traction, a composed ride, and understated styling. Compared with rivals, Audi leans on quattro grip, a richly finished cabin, and the idea that one car can handle commuting, highway travel, and spirited back-road driving without looking flashy every day.
Audi positioned the 2014 S6 as a single performance-luxury sedan that balances strong acceleration with quiet, restrained everyday comfort. Its signature hardware includes a 420-hp twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, quattro all-wheel drive, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, adaptive air suspension, heated sport seats, navigation, and Bose surround-sound audio.
