Hey there,

Perhaps pulling the trigger on a 2013 or 2014 S6. I have been reading that air-suspension is standard as is the sport-diff. I have also read that the Bang and Olufsen system is an option but I have yet to find any with it just yet. Can anyone confirm my air suspension, sport diff, and B&O questions?

Thanks

That's the C7.0 Platform, so I'm pretty sure the "Sports Package" (that's a PACKAGE now on the newer C7.5 platform) in kinda baked into the build already. So all 2013's and 2014's should have an air suspension, sport differential, and dynamic steering. As far as the B & O, That's always been an option, and a 5K one at that. I Know we've had a few discussions on here about that. While the tweeters that pop out of the dash are wicked cool and the complete theatre surround sound is amazing. The BOSE option is really very good as well. It was tough for most buyers to justify in their minds to spring for the $4,900 for that option, and dealerships were hesitant to build that into the builds as well for their floor plan, as it's a tough sell. So yea I'd imagine you'd have a tough time finding a lot of models out their that have that option in it.

Thanks Mike. Exactly what I was looking for.

You should check a window sticker on a 7.0 car. On my 2018, the sport diff, dynamic steering and sport exhaust were optional (part of the sport package, as mentioned), but included. The air suspension is standard, however. Maybe earlier cars had the sport package included, but you should make sure if that's the case, as you could inadvertently buy a car without it thinking it was included. Good luck.

I can confirm, all cars pre facelift had the sports pack standard (at least in the US). After 2016 (C7.5) it became an option to lower the base price.

Was dynamic steering part of the 7.0 spec? I seem to think it wasn't even available in the first couple of model years. For sure the sport exhaust wasn't (to my chagrin).

My S6 Prestige has the sport diff as std equip, but does not have Dynamic Steering. The Monroney only specifies "electromechanical vehicle speed sensitive power steering." Dynamic Steering, in my experience, is always specifically mentioned on the sticker if standard equipment in a model like the S8 Plus
