The 2025 Audi A6 gets a modern design, drawing inspiration from recent Audi models. It has smoother surfaces and subtler air intakes with a large light bar spanning the rear of the car. High-end variants have matrix LED headlights with 48 LED segments and digital OLED tail-lights that can show warning symbols to cars behind.

The more aggressive S Line variants come with pronounced bumpers and blacked-out badges. The alloy wheel choices range from 18 to 21 inches. In terms of dimensions, the new A6 stretches from 4,990 to 1,880 mm in length and width, respectively; thus, it is longer than its predecessor by a modest margin, enhancing aerodynamics and presence on the road.
