Hello, I'm looking into buying my first A6 (2013), and I wanted to know all the differences between the Premium Plus and Prestige trim, cosmetics and features. I'm wanted your thoughts on whether the Prestige trim is worth paying the extra 3 to 4 grand for. I do want things like heads up display and back up camera, but stuff like heated seats (good lord, I live in TX) and parking assist, I don't care about. As for cosmetics, if anyone can post side by side pictures of a Premium Plus and Prestige, spotting out all the differences, that would be very helpful!

I'm an owner of an old broken down BMW that's converting to Audi

why prestige:

Ventilated Seats (may not get ice cold...but DOES provide air and coolness...) + the seats tend to be quite a bit nicer
WAY better Climate Control - 4 Zone with Digital Temp control
Front LED's in headlights act as turn signals / better integrated...The Prem + has a segmented Lighted strip that looks kind of lacking..
Better / Bigger LCD display in Car (no need to upgrade it..)

I am sure I am missing a bunch of stuff.....but trust me all the things I listed you will wish you had.

Prestige makes the A6 a luxury car. Premium Plus is rather ordinary. Go for the Prestige.

Prestige and NEVER look back! Once again a no brainer for me. Your mileage may vary.

S line


For me, the S line exterior was worth the price of admission. Ambient lighting and the power steering column with memory were icing on the cake.

Come on guys....

Just a reply saying Prestige is the way to go is not what the Poster was looking for...

Help him out and DIFFERENTIATE the 2 models (I think that was what he was looking for...)!

You mentioned:
Ventilated Seats
4 Zone HVAC with Digital Temp control
headlights & cornering lights
Better / Bigger LCD display in Car

I mentioned:
S line exterior
Power steering wheel with memory
Ambient lighting package

The only thing not mentioned was the Bose Stereo. I think it was pretty well covered.

If the OP insists on HUD (post said "wants") then it has to be Prestige.

Spend some time studying this press release kit for 2013.

Speaking for 3.0T (2.0T didn't have Prestige),

Prestige package had these items:
18" Five-V-spoke design wheels with 245/45 all season tires
Bose sound system with subwoofer
Four-zone climate control
Front seat ventilation
Adaptive headlights w/ static halogen cornering lamps
Power adjust steering column+ Memory
Ambient lighting plus - LED
S line exterior (bumpers, grille)

Following three options were available for Prestige only.
1. LED headlight
2. Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System
3. Innovation package that had:
Audi adaptive cruise control with stop & go functionality
Head-up display
Audi pre sense plus
Night vision assistant
Audi side assist & active lane assist
Top view 360 degree camera with front and rear corner view
Auto-dimming / power-folding heated exterior mirrors

Following items in the Innovation package were option as "Driver assistance package" for Premium plus.
Audi adaptive cruise control with stop & go functionality
Audi pre sense plus
Audi side assist
Auto-dimming / power-folding heated exterior mirrors


So, heads-up display, active lane assist, and top view 360 degree camera were options for Prestige only.

My 13 had everything but the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System, and I am very happy with all the extra technologies. You will find that there is a significant price difference between Prestige with all those options and ones without them along with limited number of them on the market.
