2026 Audi A6 Trim Levels & RS 6 Avant Performance: Luxury Meets Power

The all-new redesign for the 2026 Audi A6 lineup
The 2026 Audi A6 3.0T redefines the modern luxury sedan for Northern California drivers. The 2026 Audi A6 trim levels are the ninth generation of Audi’s iconic business-class car; it delivers sharper performance, elevated design, and advanced digital intelligence while preserving the balance of comfort and control that made the A6 a benchmark in its segment.
For 2026, Audi extended its design evolution to the high-performance RS 6 Avant Performance. Both models share a clean single frame grille, flush door handles, and sharper LED and OLED lighting. Yet they express two sides of the same vision: the A6 lineup offers refined business-class comfort, while the RS 6 channels that same sophistication into supercar-level speed.
From Sacramento to Modesto, the Audi A6 models deliver the perfect blend of composure and capability. The Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims feature the refined 3.0-liter TFSI V6, while the RS 6 Avant Performance takes things further with a 621-horsepower twin-turbo V8. Together, they showcase how Audi’s 2026 redesign unites luxury and performance under one design philosophy.

For professionals and families alike, the Premium Plus is the balanced middle ground between practicality and prestige.

Powered by the same 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, the Prestige trim combines power with poise. It’s perfect for Sacramento and Modesto drivers who appreciate luxury that feels tailored, understated, and quietly powerful.
The 2026 Audi RS 6 Avant Performance is the ultimate expression of Audi’s engineering mastery. Beneath its sleek, wide body is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that delivers 621 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, launching from 0–60 mph in only 3.3 seconds. The quattro AWD system with an RS sport rear differential ensures precise power delivery, while the adaptive air suspension maintains comfort for everyday driving.
