Audi has revealed the latest generation of the Audi A6L, a stretched version of its executive sedan developed specifically for the Chinese market.
Built to prioritise rear-seat comfort, the model positions itself as a rival to long-wheelbase luxury sedans such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB. While the design draws heavily from the globally sold Audi A6, the A6L features larger proportions to enhance cabin space.
Produced through the FAW-Audi joint venture, the new sedan measures 5,142 mm in length and has a wheelbase of 3,066 mm. Interestingly, the wheelbase is 68 mm longer than that of the standard Audi A8, though the overall length remains 62 mm shorter than the Audi A8L. The additional wheelbase primarily improves legroom and comfort for rear passengers, which is a major priority in China's luxury sedan segment.
Styling inspired by global A6
The A6L adopts the bold design language of the latest global A6. It features a revised grille pattern, slim LED accents around the illuminated Audi badge, and metal-like trim elements on the bumpers and side skirts. S-Line versions add darker exterior highlights along with 21-inch alloy wheels tailored to local tastes. The rear doors are also noticeably longer, reflecting the stretched wheelbase.
Luxury-focused interior
Inside, the cabin focuses strongly on rear passenger comfort. China-specific rear seats are designed for long journeys, while a large 1.96-square-metre panoramic roof integrates 112 RGB LEDs to create ambient lighting effects. A 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system is also available.
The dashboard houses an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14.5-inch central infotainment screen, an additional passenger display, and a head-up display, creating a multi-screen cockpit layout.
Advanced safety and driver assistance
The sedan features an extensive suite of safety and driver-assistance technologies. A total of 33 sensors, including dual LiDAR units, work with Huawei's Qiankun intelligent driving system to support 28 advanced driver-assistance functions. Other safety measures include 7+2 airbags, semi-concealed door handles with protective mechanisms, a collapsible bonnet and energy-absorbing bumper structures.
Multiple powertrain options including V6
