C7 facelift

**Audi convert** · 15-01-2014,05:14 PM

Does anybody know when the A6 C7 mid life cycle facelift is due?

I read elsewhere it is early 2014?

With the C7 originally released early 2011 that would seem logical (if not a little early?)

No doubt a price increase but often specification increases also?!?

I think facelifts are every 5 years.

The previous A6 (C6) was facelifted after 5 years, so was the B8 A4/5/Q5 along with the A3 8P2 to 8P3 so I'd say they follow this trend.

I hope so (I think?)

I would probably hold my order if it was Q1 2014

BMW model life cycle is 7 years with (mild) facelift mid life cycle at approx 3.5 years

Likewise. I was looking forward to having the current face for a couple of years so I'd be a bit miffed to miss it by a a couple of months.

BMW facelifts were hard to distinguish between, it's more about lots of tiny tweaks, performance improvements and a little extra kit for a few extra £s

Im sure the A6 would be similar it just when?

No official pictures have been released so probably a while yet. Remember the C7 only came out in 2011, so MY2015 or even MY2016 at least.

I would think MY2016 (i.e. from May 2015) would be the earliest. This year they have the new TT and the new A4 to get out so doubt they would want the A6 to confuse things further. There are also mules of the revised A8 running around in Germany that would seem to be further ahead in the development programme than the A6

I think you are probably right, otherwise leaked images would be online - I hope to order mine on Monday

I read something about an ultra version being introduced this year and upgrades including small power increase on 2L tdi, quattro on same and dropping multitronic and going to the better auto. Whether or not these would coincide with a cosmetic facelift I'm not sure, might be a bit early, but I'm sure these changes are due this year.
