2014 Audi A6 Review

Browse our inventory of new Audi A6s: goo.gl/LRBLmY
The 2014 Audi A6 spans the largest gap in the Audi lineup. It is inexpensive enough to tempt A4 buyers to upgrade, and intelligently equipped to persuade the A7 and A8 buyer to skimp on size, but not technology.
As you'll see in this A6 review, there is roughly a $34,000 swing in pricing from the simplest A6 to one that is fully loaded. this is for a couple of reasons, but mostly because of engine options.
The A6 comes in many varieties:
- Turbo four cylinder (2.0T) with front-wheel drive (Multitronic Transmission)
- Turbo four cylinder (2.0T) with quattro all-wheel drive (Tiptronic Transmission)
- Supercharged six cylinder (3.0T) with quattro all-wheel drive
- Turbo six cylinder Clean Diesel (3.0T) with quattro all-wheel drive
Some of the neat features that are available on the Audi A6 range from Audi Connect, the Innovation Package, Night Vision Assistant, Active Lane Assist, Pre Sense Plus, and many many more.

This probably one of the best car reviews I've ever seen. Great job including different variations

[@jodharry]

Infinitely more sexy than a Mercedes E-Class, and supremely more stylish than a BMW 5-Series.

[@mikeyandalyssab4782]

Fantastic job on the explanation! I've gone through 20 websites getting bits and pieces of info, this answered everything! Thanks so much!

[@OrganicToon]

You are an AMAZING reviewer....

[@kacatley9258]

Best AUDI review I’ve seen thus far 👏🏽 outstanding job helping me choose between this the GS350 and E350. Leaving my loved but aging 535i... thanks!

[@Rosas18745]

Excellent job in explaining in great detail about the different packages, trim, and engines specs. I really enjoy watching these videos. Audi 4ever!!!

[@florindanu9432]

Incredibly informative video. Such a great job explaining the engines, trims and options. Loved the video!

[@mikeyandalyssab4782]

Your video was so helpful and officially pushed me over the edge to get an Audi A6! Just got her last week and couldn't be happier!!! Thanks again for the video along with the encouragement :)

[@diesel7806]

great video, I just bought a 2014 A6, I learn lots of things from your presentation, very helpful, thank you!

[@Swegaming92]

how did the car treat you if you still has it :D

[@trevormorara9770]

This guy is a real marketer he explains so well showing you what you should understand KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB

[@007gwizz]

Clear honest and your voice is amazing.

[@chuckf4333]

This was an exceptional presentation. Your knowledge of the vehicle and all of it's workings was on a level unsurpassed by anything I could have imagined. You have me sold on the A6TDI and I'll be test driving one within a week. Thank You.

[@rhuerta2]

You make the best videos by far. Great use of words and language. You could easily review every car out there.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thanks Rafael!

[@chsnyder]

Thank you for one of the best reviews I've seen on the A6. Your review helped me zero in on the "options" I was looking for. I have ordered a 2015 Prestige, Daytona Gray, 3.0 TDI, Sport Package, Black Leather & Headliner - and I even went for the 8RF option ... the B&O sound system - from my local dealer here in Texas. I did have to do some additional research before I placed my order as some of the options are now included in the Prestige package vs 2014. (nice but a little confusing) But all in all I've had a blast researching the A6 and the test drive sealed the deal for me. 17-November is my expected delivery date and I look forward to the Audi emails notifying me of the progress of the build. Again, your explanations were very clear and helped me fully understand the engine and package offerings. Great job and greatly appreciated.

[@chsnyder]

Follow up to the above: Picked my 2015 up on Monday the 17th. I love the car, made the right calls on the options I wanted. Thanks again for your review, Chris (new A6 owner)

[@pechocho87]

Pretty good review, I already have my Audi a6 and it's the best decision I ever make in terms of cars.... You have such a natural way of giving full detail car explanation that all the information provided becomes really interesting. Congratulations.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thanks Adrian, I really appreciate the feedback.

[@konzsteeds1783]

The best best Audi A6 video REVIEW demonstration I've ever seen 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆👍🏽👍🏻

[@mrcentice4403]

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thanks Santiago, that's why we do them :)

[@santiagovv99]

Exceptional video. Very detailed and explained well to any type of driver.

[@veronicasaunders4673]

Great video. I just got mine on Tuesday and my 2014 A6 is the classiest car in my parking lot.

[@doublezero5925]

Incredible reviewer/review..best I've seen. bravo ..from Europe 👏👏👏

[@jacobmiller1255]

Fantastic presentation. Well done!

[@zackariahgill5423]

I LOVED this video subscribed

[@oldcarproblems3332]

Great review man - well done.

[@stuartaparker]

Excellent video, you know your stuff and explained it in a pleasant manner. Nice one

[@james.yt.00]

This is by far the best car overview video I have ever seen!!! Please review the Audi A7 next!

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thanks AJ, we're working our way through the lineup!

[@josephwaldrup2139]

Great reviews as usual.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thanks Joseph, it's appreciated!

[@foward1]

best review i've seen of this car!

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thank You!

[@JESUSTTT]

Totally agree...excellent review here...Best by far...great job..

[@an-icelander2560]

Man you've given so much information. Thank you.

[@jizrani1204]

Excellent video. This was exactly the information that I was looking for. If I lived in Socal, you'd have my business.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thank you, Jizrani! That's the highest compliment anyone can give us! We do sell cars to those outside of the area

[@BreezeeGreenz]

Excellent and impressive video and review. I'm interested in the 3.0 Prestige model (I don't remember all the details; I have to watch it again), but I want to know: did you say that the A6 is better than the A8 or did I just not hear you right?

[@matthewswift13]

Nice job! Wanna know if those 18 inch rims on the 2.0 A6 come standard or not. If it's optional, how much extra is needed for a change? Also do these A6 have interior ambient lighting and LED reading lights as standard? Many thanks.

[@jamesdonlolo6758]

I tip my hat to you for your great review. Please keep up the good work and review other models (RS6 sedan for instance)

[@TimboSlice083]

Great videos. Setting the standard for others.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

That's a heck of a compliment, thank you!

[@seanamen]

What a great review!

[@SuperSani87]

Nice video! Already own a Prestige A6 but this video taught me stuff I didn't even know!

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thanks Super, glad you watched - and I hope you're enjoying your A6!

[@Wonkawiz]

I'm definitely buying this as a family car now. Nice review.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Wonkawiz, thanks for the compliment! Please let us know if our dealership can help with a quote: [phone]

[@ireneusjustinpolicarp8628]

Very comprehensive and well explained.

[@The69cool69]

This was an excellent detailed review.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thank you, James!

[@contactclement23]

Great info, that help me to pick my next Audi

[@gilaxia]

Great review, detailed and confident. Buying A6 soon

[@vnk956]

Hey First of all amazing video.Got all that a buyer needs to know. I am planing to buy 2.0 a6 ,want to know if the head lights are same on all of them or can I upgrade to one after getting the 2.0 version?

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thanks Sachin - the US Model includes Xenon headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights at the 2.0T Premium level. If you want full LED headlights you have to get a 3.0T.

[@patrickbailey7600]

Does the Audi A6 2014 prestige comes with fog light? Are can you install aftermarket ones.

[@JimLatp]

I must say I really enjoyed this video. I own a 2013 A6 2.0 Quattro Premium Plus, and I'm thinking about upgrading to the Prestige 3.0. The only suggestion I might add for future videos, is a discussion on the adaptive cruise and maybe a little more info on the lighting package, both interior and exterior. But still a VERY good video. Heck, I didn't realize I had the grocery bag hangers in my truck until I saw this, so thanks.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

James, thanks for the tip! We featured adaptive cruise in another of our videos with a point-of-view camera mounted on the dash; good idea to include the segment in our other features. Thanks again!

[@JimLatp]

OfficialAudiMV Quick question. You seem VERY knowledgable, have you heard anything about updates to the MMI or whether or not 4G LTE is coming to the MY15 A6? No one seems to have any ideas.

[@imhim8795]

If you were looking to purchase an A6 for use in a Black Car service, would you recommend diesel over regular fuel? I'm specifically curious if fuel savings would be greater than maintenance costs. Any other information would be very much appreciated. Your video, which is excellent and by far the most thorough "review" video I've come across in weeks of searching - regardless of make/model, has completely sold me on the A6 as the car for my business. I have a ton more questions but I'll settle on the diesel v. regular. I appreciate your time and attention. Again you've sold Audi to me and as another posted said if I was in SoCal you would be the man I would come to deal with.

[@kelvynchin1968]

This is just such an excellent presentation; the presenter looks like the actor Peter Saarsgard.

[@user-yn1oz3em7l]

Great information 9 years later as I consider a used A6 TDI. I have been shopping for a Passat tdi, but although not in the same price league the A6 is certainly more appealing. Thanks again for the education.

[@XavierAlexzander]

GREAT REVIEW!!!

[@lynefabi7077]

A very interesting and complete comment on this car! Thank you! Lyne Fabi

[@3hunna843]

great video

[@sanchit5764]

You told about a night mode feature which projects information on the windshield . Can you just explain it more

[@DevonPrepCC]

Great Video! My question is though when will we the next generation A4 hit the showroom? I am in a 2 year lease(Infiniti, which sucks) and I can't wait to get back into the A4. Its up in August of 2015. Do you think it would be out by then? Also in your opinion what are some of the new features it will include? I recently saw the 2015 A3 and couldn't believe all the new and available options they offer in the entry level car. Do you think any additional options will be available that are not currently in the a4? -Thanks

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Christopher, thanks for the comment and the questions! Audi is pretty hush-hush with release dates on redesigns for two reasons: 1. They don't want to delay buyers who may buy now instead of later, and 2. Because no one wants to over-promise and under-deliver. So I'll tell you what the best strategy for you is: When you are about 6 months away from your lease-end (Feb 2015), touch in with your local dealer. We actually have an entire department devoted to this: goo.gl/UBk4pr. Our guys there do lease returns all day long (for Audis and non-Audis alike). Personally I expect the A4 will be ready in time for you, but nothing is certain until it happens, right? I know our dealership has helped people out in the past when their ordered cars were a week or two away from when they were forced to turn in their cars. I have also heard of lease extensions from the manufacturers (Infiniti included). That's a question for Infiniti Financial Services - I've got a friend who can advise you on this - his name is Michael Norris: [phone] and he works for our Infiniti dealership. As for the equipment on the new-generation A4, I would definitely expect everything that is coming up in our new A3, which can be seen here: goo.gl/xctplv. Hope that helps!

[@aadrbi07]

Great video. What is tha color of the TDI version?

[@OfficialAudiMV]

aabrbi, I want to say it's Daytona Gray Pearl Effect

[@andytaylor7972]

awesome vid man

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thanks Andy!

[@rtaaskype]

He is having great knowledge of the car. You dont see that qualified sales men these days.

[@dom1natorrr]

Sir, you alwaya impress me with knowledge :-)

[@papoopa5800]

OfficialAudiMV I live in India and have been contemplating between the A6 3.0 TDI and the Q5 3.0 TDI. What I need is a car that delivers tremendous acceleration and is easy to drive as well. Above all, I'm also particular about the suspension; the softer the better. Could you advise me as to which would be a better option. Thanks!

[@jasonsmith9044]

I'm buying it. I drove the Audi A6 V6 Supercharged Car today and was blown away. Even with four doors this car is sexy. This car is superbly engineered and fast as hell for a stock car under 70k. The car and Tiptronic paddle shifting is super cool and makes you feel like you're in a tiny rocket. There may be faster cars for cheaper but they don't have the badass suspension, beautiful engineering and electronic feature sets this car offers. Just my opinion, go drive one yourself and be amazed. Also have to say great video presentation, well covered and great speaker, thanks for posting it.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thanks Jason, I'm so glad you had a chance to drive the A6 - and thank you for going out of your way to post your feedback! I know our viewers care to hear it.

[@pacco2012]

Nice review man :)

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thanks!

[@narayanpvs]

Does the TDI version have the traffic light engine stop feature. Do any of the A6s have break energy regeneration?

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Narayan, both the gasoline and TDI A6's have the engine stop feature. Typically when you have brake energy regeneration, there is a electric motor involved such as in hybrid or fully electric cars. As you may know, the A6 is not offered with an electric motor so there is no real benefit to having brake energy regeneration.

[@zakahmed172]

I love th brand new Audi A6 I have loved Audi when they first made. I have got an old Audi A6 2005 3.0.

[@phillytothemax]

Really really good video. I watch reviewers am the time. And you shouldn't JUST sell cars my friend.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Thank you, Philmore!

[@speedygaurav7]

i think you are most comprehensive in ur video than any other i have ever seen. i will buy my car from ur dealership

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Speedy, that's the highest compliment you could pay us! The link in the video description can get you started.

[@treemack5382]

I am looking at the 2014 A6 2.0T Premium Quattro. I am going to ask for the maintenance package but do you think an extended warranty is necessary when the car is initially purchased?

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Johnathan, if you are leasing the car and plan to turn it in before the factory warranty expires, there isn't really a need to get a warranty that extends past that time. However, you can still purchase an extended warranty while your car is still covered in most cases. The best thing to do is to consult a salesperson as part of the whole purchase so that you can get the best idea of what makes the most financial sense for what you want to do.

[@TheLatinGQ]

I own one, and I love it!

[@Snappys100]

Is there coming any facelift of the a6 for 2015? or will it be the same. Thinking of buying one,but if there is a facelift then i will wait, let me know. Thanx in advance :-)

[@PunjabiBall3r]

22g this refreshed model came out in 2012, you are good for maybe till 2018 and there won't be any major changes. I have the 2013 A6 and its the best car I have ever owned!

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Agreed - there have not been any rumors of a redesign in the near future.

[@ADFashow]

Great presentation, I watched all your videos, which contain all the details about the cars. I definitely like the technology of Audi, but Audi's DNA design is quit the same, I don't see a very obvious difference among family's member design, both exterior and interior. Maybe someday Audi will be improve it's design.

[@ameenshaik8358]

Wow, Prices in US and Europe is so reasonable. I live in Australia, its close to double the prices mentioned. I wish in Australia we get the same prices.

[@OfficialAudiMV]

@Ho Ty, sorry I could not reply directly to you as your comment is linked. The 2.0T A6 comes standard with 17" wheels. You can add the "Style Package" for $1,500 that adds the 18" wheels and Xenon / LED Headlights. For an additional $800 you can step up to 19" wheels. (19" wheels require Style Package).

[@kingfisher111]

OfficialAudiMV I really wish you make more such videos. Urs are the best Car review videos ive ever seen...God bless

[@kiroskamaal3897]

Man I miss this guy

[@georgemcc70]

Can you do an a6 avant review sometime?

[@OfficialAudiMV]

We would love to, but the avant is not available to us in the United States. Maybe one day we will be able to though!

[@danielrajesh3122]

Why don't you do a video related to the Audi finance

[@Jam2Africa]

I am a little disappointed there are not any reviews for the A7 from you guys.

[@NorthHoustonCityLimits]

wow! great video and fantastic job!

[@drummermiller]

you should charge other Audi dealers to use this video...top notch!

[@ScottPC]

Great video, did you guys know here in Britain we call ours different? Like we Have SE, Sport, S-Line, Black Edition

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Neat! I got a comment from someone in Denmark that said their styles on the A3 were "Ambition", "Attraction", and "Ambiance". Out of curiosity, do all of your models go by SE / Sport / S-Line? For example, you can get a Premium A6 and a Premium A4 here. Also, what is in your Black Edition? Sounds very mysterious :)

[@ScottPC]

Yes all go by the SE, Sport, S-Line, Black edition! Thats on all models if I'm correct... Also the Balck edition has so much on it (top of the range version) But it comes with your "black optics" package and 5 Rotor Rims! Maybe go have a look On Audis UK web site for all the version's! There's too much to explain haha :)

[@Joe-kn5ds]

I love it yes yes 👍, I love Audi the A6 Models

[@Joe-kn5ds]

A6 2016 Models The Sedan model,, They're beautiful body style

[@Chris94NOR]

I plan to buy a used 2014 Audi A6, but i have looked on the 2012 one aswell. Is there some major changes, or something better with the 2014 one than the 2012 model?

[@92pluto12]

So ur saying this is the audi sedan .... Damn audi makes one heck of a car I mean we have a q7 and when I get my license ima ask for a6 I dont give a damn about anything else ._.

[@yerkenutezhanov8557]

Is it a reliable car?

[@rockwithyou2006]

no

[@hellstarvn]

May I ask how reliable 2014 A6 2.0 AWD is? I am thinking of buying an used one at 44000 miles. How many miles does it last? Thanks!

[@Bente52]

in Denmark the 3.0t would cost about 150000 US $

[@probablysmart]

you da man!

[@efthimios]

I would love a ceritifed used 2012-13 S line. Like the F30 335s but the A6 is roomier and offers almost same performance

[@OfficialAudiMV]

efthimios, do you need help finding one? This link will show you what pre-owned A6s we have in stock at any given time: @used-inventory/index.htm?model=A6&&&&make=Audi&

[@spudhead1161]

Them pork chops

[@lostmind5063]

best a6

[@sweetdreams1DIAM0ND]

HOLLY !!! Audi plz make a non family version of this car I really like this car but I dont want to look like someone who took his dad or moms car or maybe a driver, its been 4 months now Im desperate and searching for really nice riding quiet non family car that doesnt cost more than $60-70, maybe 75-80 if its really worth the upgrade

[@PunjabiBall3r]

What about S6, A5, or A7?

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Yep, the S6 has your name on it - or can I recommend the matte gray Audi RS7 that we just got in stock? It's pricey, but so very sexy: www.audimv.com/new-inventory/index.htm?model=RS+7&&&&

[@JoseMaria-ez4un]

Hi, im in colombia and i´m making a deal to buy one, A6 tfsi 2.0 Sline 2014, and i want to know how can i use the mmi en this year 2020, when the technology is diferent know, and all you need is is your phone, can you explain me, please. Of course congratulations for the video.

[@rmartino631]

Vehicle choice for michael de santa! (Gta 5)

[@kestralz1]

The base model of this car is a rip off and an insult. its a good 8000$ more than a4 yet includes the same engine... atleast they should have awd on the base model or put 3.0 engine as default.

[@warikplaya]

1:32 Aluminum is stronger than steel?? You must be talking about strength to weight ratio, otherwise, that is a very broad statement and is incorrect in many cases. There are many different alloys of both and each alloy has different properties. In general, steel is stronger than aluminum, so you should really specify what you are talking about because just saying that aluminum is lighter AND stronger than steel is misleading. One reason for such, if aluminum is such a superior material to steel, then why are the chassis made out of steel, like you mentioned?

[@OfficialAudiMV]

Volnik, you're right - the use of the material is the key; It's in engineering the shape of the parts and the construction techniques used that make use of a materials' properties. If I misspoke in the video it was my mistake; the point is that when you turn aluminum parts into a car, the net benefit is better - lighter weight and better energy dispersion on impact which, when properly engineered, make for a safer vehicle. In fact, using rigid steel can often harm occupants - take a look at this: 2009 Chevy Malibu vs 1959 Bel Air Crash Test

[@philipface30]

he had to hold back talking shit about CVT lol they are awful

[@svetoslaviliev3461]

learn german and go to ingolstadt to present the cars :) thumbs up

[@svetoslaviliev3461]

driving a6 3.0 tdi 2013 and i really love it *

[@shirke01]

$53,000 + a 2.0T is a pretty goddamn weak engine.

[@kotkesha]

The stupiest thing on this car is start/stop system
