The cabin is probably the most worked on space as Audi jumped the S6 from 2021 to 2022. The interior is a nice place to be with the amount of tech and leather on offer. While it may not be as visually appealing as the cabin of a Benz, the opulence in the cabin is felt as soon as you enter, with diamond-pattern stitched leather seats, leather-upholstered dashboard & trims, and the touchscreen as large as the dash. The cockpit-inspired design is again apparent in the latest S6 and is a valuable purchase for the cost when you see what the interior has to offer.
Audi's build quality leaves no room for complaints, and plenty of room for occupants is available throughout the cabin. The similarities to the A6 improve upon the sedan's practicality, which is totally forgotten in the RS models of yesteryear. The interior room is comparable to that of the road-going A6, and the cargo room is similar too due to no additions or changes to affect the storage space available.

The Audi S6 has a low-slung structure that supports its sporty nature. The whole segment offers that kind of seating for that matter, and it is evident in the limited headroom all the cars have to offer, with the 38.8 inches in the BMW M550i topping the segment. The S6 has competitive amounts of interior room as its interior dimensions don’t fall short of the segment leader by more than half an inch, and it leads the segment in terms of legroom in the rear row of seating.
The trunk is fairly voluminous too, offering 13.7 cubic feet of storage. The Maserati Ghibli S blows the competition out of the water with a practical trunk that offers 17.7 cubic feet of storage capacity. Standout features in the Audi S6’ interior include:
- Diamond-stitched leather seats
- Dashboard length touchscreen setup
- Cockpit inspired design
- Multicolor ambient lighting
- Heated front and rear seats
- Extended Leather package - leather-upholstered dashboard, armrest, door trim, etc
