Spy Photo: Audi A6 Avant e-tron

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="91778"] Audi is not going to let BMW have the market for the electric premium wagons alone with the i5 Touring so it’s only natural to bring the A6 e-tron as a long-roof as well. The Audi A6 Avant e-tron was pre-viewed by the beautiful A6 Avant e-tron Concept back in March 2022 so we knew it was coming. And now the prototypes are also out and testing giving us a good look at the overall design. [gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="...

Find of the Day: 1998 Audi A6 Avant in Casablanca White

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="88673"] photos: Steve Kujala When I think of a white big bodied Audi from the 90s, I immediately picture Pearl White but this C4 Avant is not that...it's Casablanca White. I admit that I am not familiar with this color at all and according to Audi of America, it's a 1 of 10 so I wonder how many people have actually seen this shade of white in person.

Find of the Day: 2010 V10 Swapped A6 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="88631"] photos: Jacob Lauck Ask any Audi enthusiast what their favorite body style is and most would say the Avant (totally unscientific fact not backed up by anything other than my own personal opinion as a wagon enthusiast). Before the arrival of the C8 RS 6 Avant and A6 allroad, the last big Avant we got in the States was the C6 3.0T V6. For many, that was good enough but to Audi Club member Jake (whom we affectionately call Jake from Kansas C...

Next-Gen A6 Sedan, A6 Avant and S6 Spotted During Cold Weather Testing

Don't let the familiar shape fool you. We're told the hardware underneath these test mules seen testing in northern Europe is actually for the next-generation replacements (C9) for the current A6 and S6 models. Likely to be called A7 and S7 when they arrive (as Audi moves to reserve even-numbered designations for E-tron models), the ICE-powered prototypes shown here will eventually wear all-new sheetmetal for production. We expect to see disguised versions of the new bodywork running around...

Spy Photo: Audi A6 Facelift

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="80299"] Audi is doing some winter testing for the facelifted A6 and we think this could be some last minute testing. The debut should be just around the corner but you never know. We only expect minor changes to the exterior such as a slightly re-designed grille, new air intakes, and graphics to the headlights. At the back, it looks like some smaller changes will be at the rear lights and rear bumper. An updated infotainment system and ...

Spy Photo: 2023 Audi A6 Facelift

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="72703"] We spotted a prototype for the facelifted Audi A6 once again. And as we can see, the facelifted Audi A6 will remain the shape of the head lights and only get some new graphics instead. The Audi A8 got some new designed headlights with the facelift but apparently the shape is still good enough for the A6. Newly shaped are the bumpers, with its new designed air intakes, and we also suspect that the grille will get a few tweaks. This prototy...
