Audi's New A6 To Take Styling Cues From A7

Audi looks set to deliver on its promise of A7 looks for the forthcoming next-generation A6, judging from the first spy images of its 5-series rival.

The relatively light disguise on this test car, spied racking up development miles in Germany, shows that the A7’s front end treatment is being transferred to its more conventional sibling.

The body graphics can’t hide the fact that the headlights are extremely slim towards the centre and widen towards the wings. And the central bar of cladding that splits the front grille is likely to disappear, giving the A6 a one-piece aperture similar to the A7’s.

If you look closely, the upper corners of the grille and the headlights take stronger cues from the A7 concept than from the production model. A good thing in my opinion.

The failure to retain these details from the concept was my greatest disappointment with the A7. I was quite sure this was going to be the face for the next evolution of cars. When they eliminated it from the A7, I later surmised that they were saving it for the A6. I hope, but we'll see.

I predict it will be predictable.
