Overview

The 2015 Audi A6 is a midsize sedan offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $44,800. For that price, it mainly competes with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the BMW 5 Series, and the Cadillac CTS. Between 4 trims, the 2015 Audi A6 Sedan offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission or a continuously variable transmission in case of front-wheel drive models, capable of making 220 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 310 horsepower-making 3.0L supercharged V6 engine paired with the 8-speed automatic transmission. The Audi A6 Sedan reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.4 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.2 seconds with the V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Audi A6 Sedan can manage a combined fuel economy between 22 and 28 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 15 striking colors the Audi A6 Sedan comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

Our recommendation is to spend your money on the mid level Premium Plus trim with the V6 powertrain and equip that with the available Driver Assistance Package. This combination holds the best value for the money and gets every ounce of driving performance the car is able to deliver.
