2019 Audi A6: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2019 Audi A6
5th generation (C8), first U.S. model year
Audi positions the A6 as a midsize luxury sedan that blends understated design, a high-tech cabin, and confident all-weather traction. Its core appeal is quiet comfort and modern interfaces rather than flashy styling. For most buyers, the A6 is the premium sedan for long highway drives, daily commuting, and year-round use, with standard quattro all-wheel drive helping it stand apart from several rear-drive and front-drive rivals.
The 2019 A6 ranges from the value-focused 45 TFSI Premium with a 248-hp turbo four-cylinder to the comfort-focused 55 TFSI Prestige with a 335-hp turbo V6. Premium Plus trims emphasize cabin technology with digital gauges, a larger upper touchscreen, premium audio, and a surround-view camera, while Prestige adds features such as a head-up display, quieter glass, and soft-close doors.

(159 reviews)
“This is not a sport sedan. Rather it is a sporty touring sedan - comfortable, stylish, and quick!”
“this car is quick beautiful, and handles well. Lexus has always had a mushy feel. Mercedes has recently adopted a mushy feel too. Mercedes have gotten extremely ugly in my opinion. BMW handle great, but are unfortunately ugly now too.”
