Audi's midsize sedan is completely redesigned for 2026, based on the same platform as the A5 and Q5 while benefiting from an improved suspension. Exterior styling is similar but not identical to that of the electric A6 e-tron. The standard four-cylinder engine has been discontinued. Only a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 that produces 362 horsepower remains. A dual-clutch transmission and quattro all-wheel drive come standard. The RS 6 Avant and A6 allroad wagons, based on the previous generation, stick around.
