he A6 sedan’s EV sibling the A6 e-tron is already on sale in international markets and is expected to launch in India later this year.
Audi will unveil the new generation ICE-powered A6 sedan on 4th March 2025. While it was going to be called the A7 earlier, Audi’s latest nomenclature strategy will see the car retain the A6 badging in what will be its sixth generation.
The A6 sedan’s EV sibling, the A6 e-tron, is already on sale in international markets and is expected to launch in India later this year. However, the ICE and EV A6 are built on different platforms. While The A6 e-tron uses Volkswagen’s PPE skateboard, the ICE sedan will be built on the car maker’s PPC platform.
The new Audi A6 will feature a design language similar to other recent Audi cars like the third-gen Q5 and A5. Expect similar-styled headlamps with Audi Matrix LEDs, large air intakes on the bumper along with Audi’s trademark hexagonal grille. A light bar running across the width of the car connecting the tail lamps along with a new bumper design can be expected at the rear.
The new A6 will come with petrol and diesel options. However, the India spec car might only get a petrol motor. Engines are likely to be the 2.0 turbo petrol in the TFSI and the 2.0 turbo diesel in the TDI. Both will come with a 48V mild hybrid system and 7-speed. DSG gearbox. Some international markets may even get the S6 featuring a 3.0 V6 turbo petrol engine.
The Audi A6 which is currently on sale in India was launched in 2019, so it will be interesting to see when our markets get the new car. Its rivals, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the BMW 5 Series are already on sale in India in their latest generation.
