Quick Answer: 2026 Audi A6 Premium Plus
Premium Plus sits in the middle of the 2026 A6 line at $67,500 MSRP, a $3,400 step up from Premium that buys lane-centering assist added to the adaptive cruise system, a 360-degree surround-view camera, four-zone automatic climate control in place of tri-zone, heated rear seats, and the 810-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system with headrest speakers. The 362-hp V6, the 7-speed S tronic, and standard quattro carry over unchanged, since every 2026 A6 shares the same drivetrain. Audi's own reviewers call this the trim that represents the best value in the range, and Audi Queens in Flushing stocks it alongside Premium and Prestige.
Total price, including every dealer-imposed charge: starting at $69,070 all in for the A6 Premium Plus — the $67,500 manufacturer’s suggested retail price plus the $1,395 destination charge and the $175 documentation fee (an optional dealer charge, not a New York State or DMV fee). It excludes state and local taxes, title, registration, and any optional equipment.
What $3,400 actually buys
The headline feature is the driver-assistance upgrade: adaptive cruise assist adds lane centering to the standard adaptive cruise control, which turns a Van Wyck backup or a long stretch of the Grand Central into noticeably less work. The 360-degree surround-view camera earns its keep the moment you're threading an A6-sized sedan into a tight spot on a Flushing side street, showing angles a rearview mirror alone can't. Four-zone climate control replaces the Premium's tri-zone system, so rear passengers get independent temperature control instead of just their own vents, and the rear seats themselves gain heat.
Then there's the stereo, which is the upgrade people talk about after they've owned the car a while: an 810-watt Bang & Olufsen system with 20 speakers, including four built into the front-seat headrests for a 3D sound effect that's genuinely hard to describe until you've heard it. One caveat worth knowing before you configure: choosing the newly available Luxury package swaps out the headrest speakers, so the two upgrades don't fully stack.
Same engine, different case for it
Nothing about the powertrain changes at this trim — the 362-hp, 406-lb-ft V6 with mild-hybrid assist, the 7-speed S tronic, and quattro are identical to the Premium's and the Prestige's. What the Premium Plus adds is a driver-assistance system that makes that power easier to use in exactly the kind of stop-and-go traffic Flushing and the surrounding expressways specialize in. Lane-centering assist doesn't replace attentive driving, but on a long slog down the Whitestone it takes real fatigue off the table.
Prestige, for comparison
The next step up trades the Premium Plus's steel suspension with passive dampers for an adaptive air suspension, adds soft-close doors, OLED taillights, and a 10.9-inch passenger display, and unlocks the Sport Plus package that isn't available at this trim at any price. None of it touches the sound system or the camera suite already covered here. The Prestige guide runs through whether that jump is worth the extra money for you.
What buyers say
The 810-watt Bang & Olufsen system arrives standard at Premium Plus.
Audi Queens' service reviews echo the same theme as its sales reviews: a team that follows through after the delivery, not just during it. "Audi Queens continues to be my go-to dealership. Their service department has always delivered high quality customer service. Denise is absolutely wonderful!! She is an excellent service advisor," wrote one repeat customer of service advisor Denise Aiken (Nicole D.). Another, describing a routine visit: "My adviser Denise at Audi of Queens is very helpful and knowledgeable about all of my concerns about my vehicle. It is a pure delight to come in and have my car serviced" (Dee W.). That kind of consistency matters more on a car people plan to keep for years, which describes most Premium Plus buyers.
Frequently asked questions
What does the 2026 A6 Premium Plus cost?
MSRP is $67,500, plus the $1,395 destination charge, before New York's 8.875% sales tax for city residents and DMV fees. The pricing & leasing guide walks through the full math, and current offers are on the specials page.
Is the Premium Plus worth $3,400 over the Premium?
For most daily drivers, yes. The 360-degree camera and lane-centering assist are the two upgrades owners report using constantly, not occasionally, and the Bang & Olufsen system is the kind of feature that's hard to give up once you've lived with it. If your driving is mostly short local trips with no highway commute, the case weakens somewhat.
Does the Premium Plus have the same engine as the Prestige?
Yes, all three 2026 A6 trims share the identical 362-hp, 406-lb-ft V6, 7-speed S tronic, and standard quattro. Performance-oriented hardware like the Sport Plus package is Prestige-exclusive, but there's no power difference between trims.
Can I get the Luxury package on a Premium Plus?
Audi hasn't published exact trim-by-trim gating for the newly available Luxury package (Fine Nappa leather, massaging front seats, passenger-seat memory) at press time. Confirm current availability with Audi Queens' sales team when configuring, and keep in mind it swaps out the standard Bang & Olufsen headrest speakers.
Is maintenance included on this trim?
Yes, Audi Signature Care covers scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 30,000 miles on every 2026 A6 regardless of trim. Details are in the A6 service & repair guide.
Where can I see one in Flushing?
At Audi Queens on College Point Blvd. Check current A6 inventory, then book a test drive and listen to the Bang & Olufsen system before you decide it's worth the price of admission.
The bottom line
Premium Plus is the trim Audi's own reviewers point to first, and the reasoning holds up on a test drive: the camera and lane-centering upgrades solve real problems in city and highway driving alike, and the stereo is the kind of feature that's easy to underrate until you've spent a commute with it. If you're not sure which trim to pick, this is the safe answer.
