Audi has officially launched the latest model of its A6 Avant, signaling a fresh direction for the premium midsize wagon segment. Starting this month, the new Audi A6 Avant will be available for purchase, with prices beginning at €58,000 ($62k-ish). Audi anticipates starting deliveries by the end of May 2025, while the sedan version is set to follow in June.
The design of the 2025 A6 Avant features a more muscular appearance, anchored by a prominent singleframe grille, accompanied by triangular air vents and modern, sleek LED headlights. This model continues to embrace the classic station wagon aesthetic with an elongated bonnet and a sloping roofline that concludes with a practical hatchback. Audi has also incorporated redesigned LED lights at the rear, complete with a full-width LED lightbar and dual rectangular exhausts, enhancing the visual appeal.
One of the standout features of this new model is its aerodynamics. The A6 Avant boasts a drag coefficient of just 0.25, making it the most aerodynamic wagon Audi has ever produced. This achievement underscores Audi’s commitment to combining style with efficiency-enhancing engineering.
Inside, the A6 Avant doesn’t skimp on luxury or technology. The interior showcases a modern triple-screen layout, including an 11.9-inch instrument cluster and a massive 14.9-inch central touchscreen. An optional 10.9-inch screen is also available for the front passenger, ensuring that comfort and connectivity are at the forefront.
Under the hood, the A6 Avant offers a variety of engine choices. The entry-level model is equipped with a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbo-petrol engine delivering 201 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking more power, a 3.0-liter V6 mild-hybrid option is available, producing 362 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. Additionally, a 2.0-liter diesel mild-hybrid engine is also on offer for efficiency-focused drivers.
Audi is also hinting at more performance-oriented versions in the near future, including the S6 and an RS6 Avant, the latter of which is expected to feature a powerful V6 plug-in hybrid system with an estimated output of around 725 hp.
With its blend of advanced technology, refined aesthetics, and a range of powerful yet efficient engines, the 2025 Audi A6 Avant is poised to set new standards in the premium wagon market.
