Since 2009 and onward the Audi A6 received a few significant changes to its exterior. The front of the vehicle has a moderately altered front and a noticeable restyled tail end compared to other models. The taillights have been replaced with brand new R8 lenses that supply superior visibility through fog, smog, rain, or snow. The vehicle has new fog lamps on the front lights, the front bumper has been redesigned, and contains larger air intakes on both sides of the grille. The vehicle has also changed to an all wheel drive, as opposed to the older front wheel drive vehicles.

The vehicle features a customarily high-performing Audi engine, which tops out at 265 horsepower. It is a 3.2 direct-injection FSI built for power and efficiency. The new A6 comes complete with Audi's multitronic CVT, a creation that has paced the field for luxury transmissions.
