For 2009, the Audi A6 and S6 models are redesigned, including a new supercharged 3.0-litre V6 that makes 300 horsepower, and a new 40/60 asymmetric rear-biased Quattro all-wheel drive system. Other changes include new front and rear lighting, bumper and grille design; LED daytime running lights and side mirror lighting; new wheels; upgraded suspension; and interior design updates. Specific trim levels also receive new standard features. Configuration also changes: the Avant station wagon, previously only available with the 3.2-litre V6, now comes only with the new 3.0-litre V6, while the 3.2 sedan, previously with Quattro all-wheel drive, now comes in front-wheel drive only, and with a continuously variable transmission.

The S6 comes as a sedan and uses a 5.2-litre V10 with Quattro. The 3.2 FrontTrak uses a CVT, while all other models use a six-speed automatic with manual shift mode.
