2024 Audi S6 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Audi S6 is a performance-oriented midsize luxury sedan based on the more sedate A6. Power comes from a turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 (444 horsepower, 442 lb-ft of torque). Also standard are an eight-speed automatic transmission and Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system. Three trims are available: the base Premium, the well-appointed Premium Plus and the loaded Prestige.

Premium
The new base trim starts you off with:

  • 21-inch wheels with summer performance tires
  • Matrix-design LED headlights (selectively blocks sections of the high beams to keep from blinding oncoming traffic)
  • Adaptive sport air suspension (can adjust the S6's ride height and enhances ride quality and handling)
  • Power-folding, heated mirrors
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Four-zone automatic climate control
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats

Standard technology features include:

  • 10.1-inch touchscreen
  • Digital instrument panel (Audi's Virtual Cockpit Plus)
  • Navigation system
  • Wi-Fi hotspot with remote vehicle monitoring and control
  • Satellite radio
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto smartphone integration

The S6 also comes equipped with these driver assist features:

  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the S6 begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Automatic high beams

The optional Convenience package adds:

  • Wireless charging pad with signal booster
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane centering (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Automatic rear emergency braking (automatically applies the brakes if rear sensors detect an imminent collision and driver takes no action)
  • 360-degree parking camera (gives you a top-down view of the S6 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Premium Plus
Stepping up to this midrange trim adds the Convenience package along with:

  • Power trunklid
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • Dual-pane acoustic windows
  • Additional leather coverings
  • Heated rear seats
  • 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • Traffic sign reader

Prestige
The range-topping Prestige includes:

  • Soft-closing doors (catch as they're being closed and gently pull shut)
  • Thicker window glass for reducing noise
  • Rear window sunshades
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Front cross-traffic warning (alerts you of potential collisions at intersections)
  • Remote parking assistance (vehicle can park itself without a driver in the seat)

Other notable options for the S6 include:

  • Black Optic package
    • 21-inch black-painted wheels
    • Black-painted exterior trim
  • S Sport package
    • All-wheel steering
    • Sport exhaust
    • Sport rear differential
    • Red brake calipers
  • Luxury package
    • Comfort-oriented front seats with ventilation and massage
    • Additional leather interior trim
    • Passenger seat memory functions
  • Sport-tuned adaptive suspension (replaces the air suspension)
  • Night vision system
  • 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system

Which S6 trim does Edmunds recommend?

There's not a huge price difference between S6 trim levels, so we recommend going for the top Prestige trim. For the added expense, you get a more premium luxury experience with increased sound insulation, soft-close doors, additional tech and safety features, and a remote parking feature. The optional S Sport package will also sharpen overall performance.
