Audi A6 vs 2015 A6 Facelift Comparison: Headlights and Taillights

Of the A models, Audi's midsize range of A6 is one of the freshest, having made its debut as recently as 2011. However, this is a fiercely competitive market where BMW and Mercedes are introducing frequent updates, thus forcing the Ingolstadt four-ringed brand to do the same.

Say hello to the A6 facelift, likely a 2015 update for the C7 generation. This is not the first time we've shown you prototypes of camo-clad prototypes testing, which is why we're tying to do something different this time. Rather than showing you the big picture, small details are better suited as we delve into Audi's mindset. As with all other Audi models, the headlights and taillights define the design and are going to be subject to change.

Current LEDs, designed from the bottom up

At the front, the overall shape of the headlights remains largely unchanged, but the way in which the graphics are done is different. The current model is layered like an onion from the bottom, which makes it look serious. But the updated headlights will have a pronounced brow of LEDs. Of course, we are comparing xenens with xenons, but full-LED and probably full-LED with Matrix tech will be optional, though we have no photographic evidence yet.
