Changes include subtle exterior styling tweaks for the A6 sedan and Avant, with a revised grill, side sill and rear bumper.

With the optional S line exterior package, the A6 models also gain a revised radiator grille in a matt black finish with gloss chrome slats plus chrome struts for the side air inlets and chrome rings for versions with adaptive cruise control. Additional paint colours and alloy designs are also available. Meanwhile the cabin gains new LED lighting and optional new inlays.

New connectivity and entertainment options see Apple Car Play and Android Auto deliver smartphone connectivity through the MMI monitor while the A6 and A7 Sportback also offer inductive charging function for the phone box. In the rear, there are two removable Audi tablets for standard and s models.

The A6 allroad Quattro also gains an optional Advanced package across engine versions. This brings a new Soho brown paint finish and grey colour scheme for the add-on parts. The model rides on 20-inch wheels and brings quattro permanent all-wheel drive with sport differential. Inside, the package includes leather sport seats with new silver contrasting stitching and velour floor mats.

Order books for the new models will open soon worldwide with deliveries to take place in the summer. Entry-level pricing across the line-ups remains the same.
