Overview

2024 Audi A6

The 2024 Audi A6 is a luxury sedan that blends sophisticated styling with a comfortable, tech-forward interior. For the used car shopper, this model year presents a compelling option, but one that requires a discerning eye. Its standard all-wheel drive and smooth automatic transmission deliver a confident driving experience, complemented by respectable fuel economy for its class. However, a notable volume of TSBs and a recall related to the rearview camera system suggest potential electronic or software-related concerns that buyers must investigate thoroughly.

Critical Failure Risk

A software error can prevent the rearview camera from displaying an image, impacting rearward visibility during reversing. This is a safety-related issue addressed by a recall.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$1,500 repair.
