2023 Audi A6: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 Audi A6 is a light carryover year, led by expanded driver-assistance equipment on select trims and packages. Its design and powertrains remain unchanged ahead of the 2024 refresh.
About the 2023 Audi A6
C8 generation (2019-2025 U.S. A6 sedan; A6 allroad joined this generation for 2020), pre-refresh year just before the 2024 mid-cycle update.
The A6 is Audi’s understated midsize luxury car family for buyers who want a quiet cabin, standard quattro all-wheel drive, and a modern digital dashboard without the louder personality of a sport sedan. In sedan form it is a polished long-distance cruiser; in allroad form it adds wagon cargo space and light rough-road ability. Audi’s core pitch is clean design, everyday comfort, strong tech, and confident all-weather traction.
The 2023 A6 lineup spans understated Premium sedans, more fully equipped Premium Plus versions, and the luxury-focused Prestige trim, with the A6 allroad wagon sharing the upper V6 trim structure. The 45 models use a turbo four-cylinder engine, while 55 models have a stronger turbo V6 mild-hybrid system; both come with AWD. Standout equipment includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, a 360-degree camera on Premium Plus, and a head-up display and soft-closing doors on Prestige.
What changed, by category
Safety
