The 2013 Audi A6 carries the same two engine options from the previous year. While the base engine is decent on overall performance, the V6 takes it a notch higher with its higher power output along with better acceleration. But the base engine provides a much better fuel economy as compared to the V6. The interior is premium and provides great comfort to all the passengers.
We would recommend you to opt for the top 3.0T Prestige trim as it is equipped with the most power V6 engine while still adding in better features like ambient lighting, ventilated seats, and adaptive headlights. At $50,400 the 3.0T Prestige is a premium vehicle but proves great value for the money spent.
