This new Audi A6 was available with a wide range of engines and configurations. The 30-valve 2.4 and 2.8 litre V6 engines represented the bulk of the A6's development programme, with a multitude of other engine configurations available throughout the globe. As an alternative to the manual transmission, a five-speed tiptronic automatic transmission was also available. In 2002, the Audi A6 received a facelift, with revised headlight and grille design, exposed exhaust tips, and slight changes to accessory body moldings, and taillight colour from red to amber in North American models. A new host of engines were also introduced. The 1.8 litre engine was deleted and replaced by a 2.0 litre powerplant with 96 kilowatts (131 PS; 129 bhp).

The 1.9 litre Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) was tweaked to produce a maximum motive power output of 96 kilowatts (131 PS; 129 bhp), and 310 newton metres (229 ft·lbf) of torque, receiving a six-speed manual gearbox in the process. The 2.4 litre V6 gained an extra 5 hp and better balancing, and the 2.8 litre V6 engine was replaced by a 3.0 litre engine with 162 kilowatts (220 PS; 217 bhp). The turbocharged 2.7 litre was revised, resulting in 184 kilowatts (250 PS; 247 bhp) and 330 newton metres (243 ft·lbf), controlled by standard quattro. The V6 diesel was also slightly modified resulting in 120 kilowatts (163 PS; 161 bhp) (after the second modification) and 350 newton metres (258 ft·lbf). A new more powerful V6 diesel was also introduced with 132 kilowatts (179 PS; 177 bhp) and 370 newton metres (273 ft·lbf). The 4.2 litre V8 engine which arrived in 2001 remained unchanged.
