Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2025 Audi S6
5th generation Audi A6/S6 sedan (C8, 2019-2025), second year after the 2024 refresh and the final U.S. model year for the gas-powered S6 sedan.
The S6 is Audi’s midsize sport sedan for shoppers who want stronger acceleration and sharper handling than a regular A6 without stepping into the far more aggressive RS lineup. Its core appeal is balance: a powerful V6, standard all-wheel drive, a polished interior, and everyday comfort that makes it easy to live with. In practice, it is the quick, understated choice for drivers who want luxury-sedan comfort with serious passing power and all-weather traction.
The Premium trim delivers the core S6 experience with a 444-hp twin-turbo V6, standard all-wheel drive, dual touchscreens, a digital instrument display, and heated sport seats. Premium Plus emphasizes everyday driver assistance with adaptive cruise control, lane guidance, and a surround-view camera. Prestige adds luxury touches such as a head-up display, soft-closing doors, heated rear seats, and extended leather trim.
