Thinking back to the real purpose of the Audi Brand, it’s easily designed around Sport and Luxury. Delivering over 40 different model options to the fleet, Audi has no problem developing vehicles for all types of consumers. The 2024 Audi S6 is a fantastic way to ride or drive, not only in its luxury fashion, but its comfort level and power are simply extraordinary.

Powering the 4-door, 5-passenger luxury sedan 2024 Audi S6, is the proven 2.9L biturbo TFSI V6 engine that produces 444 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission and quattro all-wheel drive system, this mild-mannered powerful sedan delivers an abundance of energy to the road and passengers alike. With this combination, no power shortage was witnessed, while still maintaining 22+ miles per gallon on our week-long test in the Hudson Valley.

Riding on 21-inch double-split spoke V-design wheels, the Audi S6 rode comfortably and was very appealing to onlookers. On the interior, its typical Audi. Dual screens servicing Infotainment and climate, were both very easy to use. With increasing technology these days, these items can easily become outlandish, so it was good to see Audi sticking to what works. Our Prestige package inclusive of the $8,200 expense added safety items like Remote park assist and Intersection assist, HD Matrix-design LED headlights with animation for headlights and taillights, power soft-closing doors and head-up display. The S Sport package was also witnessed on our tester and added dynamic all-wheel drive steering, red brake calipers, sport exhaust and sport rear differential.

Audi has always been a middle child in the Volkswagen brand of companies, with VW on the more basic end and Porsche on the upper end. With Audi slapped in the middle, the sport and luxury combination of their siblings are easily shown in their models but with the S-fleet at the premier level, its difficult to tell easily. For the S6, this vehicle a fantastic option for commuters, families and speed enthusiasts as its stands on its own and displays a great array of attributes for both the driver and the passenger and onlooker. With a $70K plus base price, the added power is certainly fun while the comfort is what showed out nicely the most.
