2023 Audi A6 Interior and Cargo

There is a variety of upholstery options to choose from in the A6 lineup, though some are trim-specific. The Premium and Premium Plus come standard with leather upholstery available in combinations of Black with Rock Gray stitching, Okapi Brown with Steel Gray stitching, and Pearl Beige with Agate Gray stitching. Trim inserts are in a woodgrain finish. As standard, the headliner is black cloth, but with lighter upholstery options, this is swapped out for a silver item instead.

The Prestige gets access to the Luxury package option with Valcona/Milano leather upholstery in Black with Rock Gray stitching, as well as leather trim on the dash, center console, and armrests.

The A6 manages to beat the E-Class in terms of practicality, boasting a 13.7 cubic-foot trunk in comparison to the Merc's 13.1 cubes. Unfortunately, both of these autos are put to shame by the 5 Series which offers a notable 14 cubes of junk in the trunk. Still, the A6's trunk is definitely manageable and will easily accommodate two sets of golf clubs or a few briefcases. The 40/20/40 rear seats can also be folded to make even more space available if necessary.

In-cabin storage is decent enough thanks to a large bin in the center console for storage and door pockets that will willingly fit a water bottle or two. The glove compartment isn't as impressive, but you can't have it all.

When you get into a car that has a price in excess of $55k, you'll expect a whole lot of luxury. The Audi A6 doesn't disappoint in this regard, even the entry-level spec is well stocked. The Premium model boasts keyless entry, push-button start, Audi's 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit gauge cluster, three-zone climate control, eight-way power-adjustable seats with heating and ambient lighting. Added to the Premium Plus is leatherette trim with contrast stitching on the knee bolster and armrest and a heated steering wheel, but the Prestige is by far the most decadent. The top-spec trim welcomes four-zone climate control, upgraded multi-color ambient lighting, dual-pane acoustic glass, a power trunk lid, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, and a head-up display.

On the driver-assist side of things, the Premium comes standard with forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, park-distance control front and rear, LED headlights with high-beam assist, and cruise control. The Premium Plus adds adaptive cruise assist with traffic-jam assist and turn assist, active lane assist with emergency assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. A top-view camera system is also standard for this model. A head-up display, remote park assist plus, and traffic-sign recognition are reserved for the Prestige trim.

We've mentioned before that the tech in the A6 is incredibly well laid out, and there's an abundance of it. From this year, the Premium comes with all the same screens as the rest of the lineup, which is to say a 12.3-inch Virtual Cockpit gauge cluster, a 10.1-inch upper infotainment screen, and an 8.6-inch lower screen for the climate control. The infotainment system enables navigation, full smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and also allows for Amazon Alexa integration. HD Radio and SiriusXM join the list along with Bluetooth streaming. Audio is pushed out of a 10-speaker sound system as standard. The Premium Plus improves the infotainment set-up with the addition of a 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen set-up. Wireless device charging is also standard on the top two specs.
