The German carmaker has decided not to change the price of the three full-size models, in spite of the fact that they include more tech and come with a modified design. First deliveries will begin this summer, but ordering books will open soon.

All A6 versions get a new front bumper, which also has a modified apron and struts. The side sills and rear bumper have also been restyled to a more angular shape.

The rear end also features a new air diffuser integrated into the bumper. Both A6 and A7 ranges are available in two new body colors, called “Matador Red” and “Gotland Green.“

Furthermore, the color range is broadened by the availability of the Java Brown shade, a color which used to be exclusive to the A6 allroad, but can now be ordered with the other large models from the Ingolstadt carmaker.

The A6 receives a new front grille for the S line exterior package, which is painted matt black. Its slots are finished in glossy chrome, and other chromed elements attract onlookers to the side air inlets.

The versions of this model equipped with the adaptive cruise control system receive chrome rings on the grille. The A6 Sedan and Avant can be ordered with two new wheel designs, while the A7 has three new wheel options.

Changes in the full-size range from Audi have been applied on the inside of the vehicles. First of all, the interior features LED lighting, and Audi provides optional inserts in “Aluminum Ellipse Silver,” and “fine grain birch natural agate gray.” The latter trim option is also available for the 2017 Audi S6 and S7, while the former is available in bronze for the A6 allroad.

The most significant modifications have been applied to the MMI units, which now support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Audi phone box in the A6 and A7 now supports inductive charging for smartphones that use the Qi standard.

The rear seats can be equipped with two removable tablets, available for the S models of the A6 and A7 ranges. The optional Advanced package has been extended, and is now available for all engine versions. In the case of the A6 allroad quattro, it features new parts, specially designed wheels, and high-end Valcona leather upholstery on the inside, with many other extras.
