The 2025 Audi A6 Avant introduces a new generation for the brand’s mid-size luxury lineup, featuring updated styling, hybrid technology, and a more advanced interior.
The exterior adopts sharper lines and a wider front grille, giving the wagon a more aggressive and modern look.
A highly efficient body shape contributes to a drag coefficient of 0.25, the lowest among internal-combustion Audis.
The large Singleframe grille incorporates boomerang-shaped elements, flanked by massive air intakes to improve aerodynamics.
Deep creases along the hood add a muscular presence, while slim LED headlights showcase Audi’s signature lighting design.
Three powertrain options will be available in Europe, including a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with 201 horsepower.
A 2.0-liter diesel variant also makes 201 horsepower, providing an alternative for European markets.
The most powerful option is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that generates 362 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque.
Audi’s 48-volt mild-hybrid system supports efficiency and performance, featuring a belt alternator starter and powertrain generator.
The hybrid system allows for short bursts of electric-only driving at low speeds and improves fuel economy.
Electric assistance can provide an extra 24 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque when accelerating or overtaking.
The V-6-powered model accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.7 seconds, significantly quicker than the base four-cylinder.
Front-wheel drive is standard on the entry-level four-cylinder models, while all V-6 versions feature Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive.
Rear-wheel steering is available as an option, improving agility at low speeds and stability at high speeds.
Adaptive air suspension enhances ride comfort while automatically adjusting ride height and shock absorption.
The steering system is now more responsive thanks to a stiffer torsion bar, improved steering rack, and redesigned control arm bushings.
A6 Avant models with all-wheel drive can be optioned with dynamic all-wheel steering for additional maneuverability.
Higher-performance versions of the four-cylinder engine could be introduced alongside the V6 in the U.S.
Audi’s product overhaul continues, ensuring its core models remain competitive in an evolving automotive landscape.
With its sophisticated design and digital enhancements, the A6 aims to set new benchmarks in the luxury mid-size segment.
Matrix LED headlights can selectively brighten or dim specific areas of the road to improve visibility.
The redesigned interior includes a new three-screen setup, featuring a 14.5-inch touchscreen for infotainment.
An 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster provides configurable driving data and navigation information.
An optional 10.9-inch display for the front passenger offers entertainment and additional vehicle controls.
The Bang & Olufsen premium sound system delivers immersive 3D audio with speakers integrated into the front headrests.
Digital lighting technology enables seven different exterior light signatures that the driver can customize.
The A6 sedan is expected to follow later in the year, carrying over many of the Avant’s new features.
