2019 Audi A6 Priced From $59,895

Entering a new generation, the 2019 Audi A6 will start at $59,895 when it goes on sale later this year. That’s a $2,420 price increase from the 2018 model equipped with the six-cylinder engine option.

For the extra coin, buyers receive a new MMI interface with touch controls. This new feature, consisting of an upper screen for infotainment functions and a lower screen for climate controls, replaces the rotary dial and button-controlled setup of the previous model. It also comes with a new, standard 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 with 335 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission and a 48-volt mild hybrid system. Thanks to suspension changes, Audi promises more precise steering on the new A6.

Standard creature comforts include three-zone automatic climate control, leather seats, LED headlights and daytime running lights, and heated, auto-dimming manual folding side mirrors with memory. The base model is called Premium, and the next step up is Premium Plus. This version starts at $63,695 and brings along Matrix-design LED headlights with high-beam assist, inductive charging, a Bang & Olufsen Premium 3D Sound System, and MMI navigation plus with traffic information. At the top of the lineup sits the Prestige, priced from $68,095. This model ups the ante with a standard full-color head-up display and HD Matrix-design LED headlights with dynamic turn indicators and high-beam assistant.

In our First Drive, we praised the car’s pleasant interior and quiet ride. We wrote, “This is a versatile car, asked to be many things to many people. Our first drive shows it is up to the task.”

Audi has priced the A6 competitively. The 2019 BMW 540i starts at $59,945 while the current Mercedes-Benz E-Class goes for at least $59,895.
