2023 Audi S6 Trim Levels and Standard Features Explained
The 2023 Audi S6 delivers everything buyers want from a true luxury sports sedan, including the most cutting-edge innovative technologies, benchmark infotainment, a dynamic driving experience thanks to a new twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine, as well as S model interior and exterior design elements.

EXTERIOR
The S6 can be compared to an A6 on steroids. Sporty design elements, such as S-model bumpers, a platinum double-slat Single frame grille, and aluminum exterior side mirrors, distinguish the S6’s exterior. By connecting the two lower air inlets, the alu-optic front splitter gives the front of the car a wider appearance. The S6 has four S-specific tailpipes and a black chrome matte rear diffuser inlay in the rear.
INTERIOR
The twin screens that dominate the dashboard and manage all the infotainment and climate controls are the most noticeable features inside. But what distinguishes the S6 are its unique design and materials. Various shades of supple leather upholstery and striking wood inlays combine to create an interior design that is distinctly Audi.
COMPETITION
In this class, it is worthwhile to take into account the BMW M550i, the Mercedes-AMG E 53, and even the Cadillac CT5 V Blackwing. All of the all-wheel-drive German rivals provide comparable, if not slightly superior performance. And their prices are comparable to those of the S6. The CT5-V Blackwing also has 668 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, but it is a rear-drive monster.

Which One to Buy
As for which 2023 Audi S6 trim level to buy, I only encourage people to step up to higher trims when I think the additional features merit their cost. And that’s the case with the S6 Prestige. In this case that means the inclusion of the HD Matrix-design LED headlights, Power soft-closing doors, Head-up display and Park assist. And the Prestige is the only trim level with access to the 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system and night vision assistant both of which I think are must-haves.
