What's New for 2025?
The S6's newly available Nardo Sport Edition isn't about performance, but if you like the idea of a black roof, smoked headlight lenses and carbon fiber mirror housings, this package delivers all of the above plus unique interior trim.
2025 A6 Selector
FAST FACTS
"There are two distinctly different flavors of Audi in this segment, and the S6 is certainly the bolder one, making far more power from its slightly different turbo V6 and featuring some adventurous styling touches by Audi's cautious standards. But at the end of the day, they share a platform and they both use turbo V6s to deliver effortless acceleration, so you can think of them as two sides of the same coin."—Ranked #5 out of 6 Midsize Performance Sedans
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 Audi S6, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The S6 has even greater gobs of power for those who are left underwhelmed by the A6 55 TFSI sedan's turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. Although the S6 gives up a tenth of a liter, its 2.9-liter V6 is twin-turbocharged to produce more than 100 extra ponies. It's not the fastest super-sedan in this midsize class, but it's without a doubt the fastest A6 sedan variant.
