2015 Audi A6: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

The most important 2015 Audi A6 change is standard blind-spot monitoring on every Premium Plus trim. Otherwise, this is a light equipment update rather than a redesign, with select lighting, wheel, and display upgrades.
About the 2015 Audi A6
4th-generation Audi A6 (C7), final pre-refresh year before the 2016 styling, powertrain, and infotainment update.
Audi positions the 2015 A6 as a luxury sport sedan that blends clean, understated styling with strong road manners, a high-quality cabin, and advanced technology. In this year’s range, the A6’s core appeal is that it feels both polished and athletic: comfortable enough for long highway trips, upscale enough for executive-car duty, and available with stronger gas or diesel engines for buyers who want more effortless power than the base 2.0T provides.
The 2015 A6 ranges from the understated 2.0T Premium to stronger V6 and long-range diesel versions. Premium Plus models add navigation, parking sensors, and a rearview camera, while Prestige models bring full LED headlights, a head-up display, ventilated front seats, and Bose audio.

2015 Audi A6 Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2015 Audi A6.
“Great car with great features. Solid quality build and feels safe when driving. Gives you the right amount of power and control so you can drive it however you like and look good while driving it.”
“We are totally happy with our new car. Only a few things we would have liked... larger cup holders, auto trunk closer, and auto start. other than that everything is the way we like it. Maybe cooling as well as heating of the seats would be nice also. We had it in the Navigator and it was nice feature for the summer months.”
