The new model is expected to be priced between Rs. 45-60 lakhs (ex-showroom) and will lock its horns against Jaguar XF, Mercedes-Benz E class and BMW 5 series.
Speaking of the changes, the biggest change Audi is endorsing about is the LED matrix headlamp set up with dynamic turn indicators which are already on offer with Audi RS 6 Avant and A8L. Apart from Matrix headlamp technology, new A6 receives restyled bumpers, a new single frame front grille, new alloy wheels.

There is also a 2.0l 35 TDI diesel motor with two states of tunes– 150PS and 190PS. Both the engines will be paired to a six speed manual or a multi tronic CVT gearbox that sends power to front wheels of the car.
