Audi Unveils Facelifted A6 with new 290HP 3.0 TFSI: 61 High-Res Photos

Look a little closer and you may notice that the new A6 Sedan and Avant boast a slightly revised single-frame grill and a new front bumper with redesigned air vents and fog lights. The optionally-available xenon plus, LED daytime running lights have also been redesigned as horizontal strips with 6 LEDs each.
