New or Significantly Altered Models

2012 Audi A6 Sedan
The A6 is reworked for the 2012 model year. Similar in size to the prior model, the 2012 has a longer wheelbase and wider track, but only changes slightly in overall size. The styling is new, but the A6 retains several design cues evolving the historical A6 design. Powertrain choices in 2012 include a 211-bhp turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and a 310-bhp 3.0l supercharged V6. Four-cylinder models are front-wheel-drive with a CVT transmission, whereas the V6 models include quattro all-wheel-drive. The S6 is absent from the 2012 lineup, but returns in 2013.
2012 Audi A7
The all-new A7 is a large four-door, four-passenger model with a sweeping fastback and hatchback instead of a trunk. All models are powered by a supercharged V6 engine rated at 310-bhp. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive are standard.
