Coming out before the end of the year
Several Audi prototypes – including A6, A6 Avant and RS6 Avant - were spotted recently conducting winter testing.

Audi seems to be working on a nip and tuck for the entire A6 range and based on these spy shots the changes will be minimal, at least on the exterior where the visual upgrades will be kept down to the minimum in typical Audi style. More significant modifications will be inside the cabin where the A6 will likely get more tech goodies.

Engine lineup will probably be carried over from the current model, including the recently introduced 190 HP 2.0-liter 4-cylinder in the frugal Ultra variant which returns 51.1 mpg US (61.4 mpg UK or 4.6 liters / 100 km).

The facelifted Audi A6 lineup will probably come out before the end of the year.

I wouldn't be suprised if with this facelift we finally get the RS6 and RS7 Plus.
 
More RS6 spyshots:

I am seeing 2 different light designs... The RS6 seems to have the old design while the night shots posted above have new light graphics. Also, the new screen looks thinner (new MMI?) but it may just be my eyes fooling me.

Of the A models, Audi's midsize range of A6 is one of the freshest, having made its debut as recently as 2011. However, this is a fiercely competitive market where BMW and Mercedes are introducing frequent updates, thus forcing the Ingolstadt four-ringed brand to do the same.

Say hello to the A6 facelift, likely a 2015 update for the C7 generation. This is not the first time we've shown you prototypes of camo-clad prototypes testing, which is why we're tying to do something different this time. Rather than showing you the big picture, small details are better suited as we delve into Audi's mindset. As with all other Audi models, the headlights and taillights define the design and are going to be subject to change.

2013 model year A6 with xenons on the left, upcoming 2015 model on the right – let's see what's about to change!

At the front, the overall shape of the headlights remains largely unchanged, but the way in which the graphics are done is different. The current model is layered like an onion from the bottom, which makes it look serious. But the updated headlights will have a pronounced brow of LEDs. Of course, we are comparing xenens with xenons, but full-LED and probably full-LED with Matrix tech will be optional, though we have no photographic evidence yet.

Round the back, the graphics are again changing. The new design is similar to the old one but has an extra line forming a T-like shape at the outer edge. When signaling a turn, another orange strip will appear at the very top. You can check that out and many other details in the gallery below.

Spyshots: 2015 Audi S6 Facelift


In order to keep up with its segment rivals, Audi is working on a "mid-life" upgrade for the S6 performance sedan. We're not talking about major changes, just ones to bring crispness to the headlights and other attention-grabbing details customers in this very competitive market seem to appreciate.

Starting from the front, it's quite obvious that the S6's headlights are going to be replaced. We like to say the current model's LEDs are layered like onion skins from the bottom to the top. This new design will be much simples, two main lines dominating its design. They run parallel to each other and split up at the very edge of the unit.

The grille on the 2015 S5 will also be a little different. Fans who like to count chrome bars on Audi grilles will have noticed already that this prototype is missing a few horizontal ones. Moving our attention to the side, we notice what could be a slight bigger side skirt design. This could be a trick of our spy photographer's camera or a potential quattro exterior styling package.

The most interesting feature of the car will remain its still-brand-new V8 turbo engine. Currently rated at 420 PS and 550 Nm, this detuned RS6 mill could easily be boosted to around 450 PS. Audi's full bag of engine management tricks will ensure this powerful car, which can reach 100 km/h (62mpg) in under 5 seconds, will also be relatively efficient.

2015 Audi A6 & A6 Avant spied with new Matrix LED headlights

Could be introduced later this year
The 2015 Audi A6 and A6 Avant have been spied undergoing testing in Europe.

Looking instantly recognizable, the facelifted models are distinguished by modified bumpers and new Matrix LED headlights. The cars also have restyled taillights and trapezoidal exhaust tips that are better integrated into the rear bumper.

Our spies couldn't get to close enough to snap interior photos but the model is expected to feature an updated infotainment system and various other tweaks.

Engine options will likely carryover but there could be some minor modifications for improved performance and reduced fuel consumption. Speaking of which, the model could be equipped with a new 3.0-liter V6 TDI that produces 258 PS (190 kW).

The 2015 Audi A6 and A6 Avant could be introduced later this year, so look for a possible debut at the Paris Motor Show.

2015 Audi A6 facelift debuting this October

Indian Autos Blog broke the story in March this year that Audi will introduce refreshes for the A6, Q3 and Q5 this year. Engineers at Audi have already started testing the A6 facelift, and camouflaged prototypes were spotted in German streets and the Nürburgring race track.
The 2015 Audi A6 would debut in October this year at the Paris Motor Show, according to a report. The design changes on the outside would be minor, though it will give a fresher appearance to the sedan which was launched in Europe in early 2011. Audi will extend its new Matrix lighting technology to the A6 as its following a top-down approach of introducing this technology first on the A8 and then on the A7.
Other changes are expected to come in the form of redesigned bumpers and new alloy wheel patterns. Interior changes will be limited to the textures used on the seats, dashboard and door trims, and a slightly revised MMI user interface.

The A6 is an important volume contributor for Audi in India. Like the competition, Audi too assembles the sedan from CKD (Completely Knocked Down) kits at its Aurangabad facility. The A6 is available with three engine options – 2.0-liter TFSI, 2.0-liter TDI and 3.0-liter TDI. Engines are expected to remain unchanged.

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
