I want to buy a used A6. I'm in US.

am looking at the 2017 model and its a bit out of budget since its so new. I can wait a few months for the used prices to come down but was wondering what really changed over the previous year (2016) and if i can get the 2016 model. I tried looking up on elsewhere but could not get a clear understanding of what changed in 2017 vs 2016. Perhaps a 2016 with certain upgrades is fairly close to 2017 ? Would really appreciate your help.

They are nearly identical, the one major change is CarPlay/Android auto was added for 17. New for 17 is also the competition package (few more HP, sports seats and sports diff like in the S6).

Thanks. I have determined that i do want CarPlay. Is it standard in all 2017 A6 models ? I dont see it as specifically listed in some used car listings i saw.

Thank you. May i know what to look for in the sticker ? Do i use the VIN # to somehow figure out the packages ? Also, do all 2017 A6s in US come with S-Line interior ?

The info should be on the sticker itself. You can tell if it has CarPlay if it says “Audi smartphone interface”. I believe it will also s line if that’s the case. The window sticker will have all the standard equipment, as well as additional packages/options.
