Quick Answer: The 2026 Audi A6 at a Glance
The A6 sedan comes back for 2026 as a ground-up redesign, and Audi used the occasion to retire the old base four-cylinder entirely. Every 2026 A6, from Premium at $64,100 MSRP through Premium Plus at $67,500 and Prestige at $71,400, runs the same 362-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with a 48-volt mild-hybrid assist, a 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch, and standard quattro all-wheel drive — Audi's own figures put 0-60 at 4.5 seconds, quicker than most rivals' base engines by a wide margin. All three trims include Audi Signature Care, which covers scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 30,000 miles at no cost, and all three are in stock at Audi Queens on College Point Blvd in Flushing.
Total price, including every dealer-imposed charge: $65,670 all in for the A6 Premium. That total includes the $1,395 destination charge and the $175 documentation fee (an optional dealer charge, not a New York State or DMV fee) on top of a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $64,100; it excludes state and local taxes, title, registration, and any optional equipment.
Why a full-size Audi makes sense here
Flushing isn't a small-car neighborhood by necessity, but it is a tight one: Main Street traffic circles College Point Blvd most of the day, and a lot of driveways off 30th and Union weren't drawn with a 197-inch sedan in mind. The A6 asks for the space anyway and earns it. At 196.8 inches long it's noticeably bigger than the A5 sitting one rung down Audi's lineup, with the extra length going almost entirely into a cabin that treats the driver and front passenger to real room, wrapped in a single curved digital stage: an 11.9-inch instrument cluster flowing into a 14.5-inch MMI touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and the whole interior runs off Audi's redesigned MMI software, the version that's rolling out across the brand this year.
Seeing the size in person settles most of the hesitation. Audi Queens sits at 30-35 College Point Blvd, a short run off the Whitestone Expressway, with sales, finance, service, parts, and its own collision center on one property, and a sales floor that works in English, Spanish, Mandarin, and more. Live A6 inventory is posted before you ever leave the house.
One engine for the entire line, and it's not the old one
The last-generation A6 offered a base 2.0-liter four and an optional V6 for buyers willing to pay up. That menu is gone. Every 2026 A6 — Premium included — gets the same 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, now making 362 horsepower and 406 lb-ft, a 27-horse, 37-lb-ft jump over last year's optional engine, paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that smooths stop-start and coasts the engine off at a red light without ever driving the car on electricity alone. Quattro is standard on every trim, the 7-speed S tronic dual-clutch shifts through the power without hunting, and Audi's claimed 4.5-second 0-60 has held up in outside testing. The EPA rates it at 20 city / 29 highway / 23 combined, and it wants 91-octane premium, same as the rest of the current Audi range. Choosing a trim, in other words, is entirely about what's in the cabin, not what's under the hood, and that's what the three guides below sort out.

What A6 owners say about the store
Audi Queens has stocked the A6 across multiple generations.
Audi Queens carries a 4.5-star average across more than 1,250 Google reviews, and the A6 has a habit of showing up as the car people bought and then wrote home about. "Patricia, thank you so much for helping me with choosing the right car for me. I absolutely love my A6 Black on Black. I was unsure walking into the dealership but I'm so happy I did, and because of you I left with my dream car," wrote one buyer of her sales experience with brand specialist Patricia Tirado, still on the sales floor today (Neishanett H.). Another A6 lessee, a few years earlier, described the process at Audi Queens as "quick and painless," with a sales team that was "pretty knowledgeable about the details of the car and explained everything clearly" through test drive, delivery, and paperwork (M K.).
The throughline across the archive, A6-specific or not, is a sales process that doesn't wander from the number quoted on the phone. Buyers name their salesperson by name more often than not, and a fair number are on their second or third Audi from the same store.
Owning one here
Ownership got simpler this year regardless of trim: every 2026 A6 includes Audi Signature Care, complimentary scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 30,000 miles, layered on top of the standard 4-year/50,000-mile new vehicle warranty. The A6 service & repair guide covers the 10,000-mile rhythm, what Flushing's roads and winters do to a car this size, and the factory-certified shop behind the showroom. The money side — the 8.875% New York City sales tax, how leasing works here, and where the current offers live — is in the pricing & leasing guide.
Frequently asked questions
What changed on the 2026 Audi A6?
Everything under the hood, for one: the old base four-cylinder is gone, replaced by a 362-hp V6 with mild-hybrid assist across every trim, a 27-horsepower jump over the prior optional engine. The A6 also picked up a fully redesigned cabin, a newly available Luxury package with Fine Nappa leather and massaging front seats, and Audi Signature Care included on every MY2026 for the first time.
How much does a 2026 Audi A6 cost?
MSRPs run $64,100 to $71,400 by trim, plus a $1,395 destination charge, before New York taxes and DMV fees. Some listings quote a "starting at" figure with destination already folded in — watch for that when comparing numbers across sites. Current offers sit on the Audi Queens specials page, and the pricing & leasing guide walks through the full math.
Is the 2026 Audi A6 a good car?
Early reviews rank it near the top of the luxury midsize class, crediting the standard V6's power advantage over rivals' base four-cylinders, a genuinely quick 4.5-second 0-60, and a longer standard-equipment list than the segment typically offers at this price. The honest tradeoffs: fuel economy trails the six-cylinder BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class by a few mpg, and rear legroom is merely competitive, not class-leading.
Does the 2026 A6 have all-wheel drive?
Yes, quattro comes standard on every trim, no package required and no front-wheel-drive version offered. That matters on a February morning on an unplowed stretch near Kissena Park as much as it does on the highway.
Is the A6 a hybrid?
Not in the plug-in sense. Every 2026 A6 carries a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that assists the V6 under load and lets the engine coast off smoothly at a stop, but it can't move the car on electric power alone and there's nothing to plug in. If you specifically want a plug-in Audi sedan, that's a different model entirely.
What about the RS 6 Avant and the A6 Sportback e-tron?
Different cars, priced and sold separately from this sedan. The RS 6 Avant is Audi's performance wagon, starting well north of $130,000. The A6 Sportback e-tron and S6 Sportback e-tron are all-electric five-door liftbacks arriving for model year 2027 with their own trim ladder. None of the three share a build sheet with the gas-powered A6 sedan covered in this set.
Three trims, one showroom
Key handover at Audi Queens, College Point Blvd.
The three guides that follow cover the equipment differences in detail, but the fastest way to choose is still to sit in all three back to back. Certified pre-owned Audi stock sits on the same lot if a prior-generation A6 is also on the table, and the sales team can walk both eras side by side. Book a time through the contact page and settle it in person.
