- The 2023 Audi S6 sedan and S7 four-door hatchback are available with a new Design Edition package.
- The kit includes exclusive paint options, black and dark chrome exterior trim, and more microsuede interior surfaces.
- The Design Edition package costs $2500, and Audi says it'll only be offered for the 2023 model year.
Black appearance packages are currently trending. Actually, the sinister-looking treatment has been popular for quite some time, but now even minivans like the Chrysler Pacifica and Honda Odyssey can be made to look like the Batmobile. For 2023, the Audi S6 and S7 capitalize on the fad with the new Design Edition package.
Based on Audi's widely available Black Optic package, which basically swaps all shiny body trim for black bits, the Design Edition also adds dark chrome accents and blacks out the brand's four-ring logo on the grille and rear decklid. The roof is painted Brilliant Black, too. While shoppers can choose one of the many normal paint options, only models with the Design package are available with Arrow Gray (pictured here).
The package includes a few interior differences, too. The kit covers more surfaces with microsuede—or Dinamica in Audi parlance. This includes the shifter, the bottom of the console, and the knee pads. The steering wheel is also covered in faux-suede, and it has red contrast stitching that also appears on the leather seats, door armrests, and other parts of the cabin.
The Design Edition package is priced at $2500 and will only be available on the S6 and S7. Audi says the appearance package will only be offered for the upcoming model year, with orders opening in June 2022. The 2023 S6 starts at $73,795 and the S7 starts at $83,595.

Did you know that just about every Audi model is getting dramatically updated for 2023?
Audi says that the changes are being made, in part, to show that Audi deserves a place in the luxury segment at every level, from the entry-level luxury cars like the Audi Q3 and A3 to the larger vehicles such as the A8 and Q8.
The changes will include everything from paint colors and interior details to technology and sound systems.
You, as an Audi customer, will be able to see and even feel the changes as soon as 2023 model year vehicles begin rolling off the production line.

Here are the top Audi lineup updates you need to know about.
Expect Luxury.
The A3 and S3 will just get better. We’re talking standard LED headlights, door armrests, sumptuous leather, and an optional wireless charger. Opt for the Premium Plus trim and you will get new and incredible birch inlays. You can now also purchase adaptive cruise control as a standalone option for 2023 with the premium trim. Not enough? check out the 18-inch five-spoke wheels that are part of the Black Optic package.
The A4 will Get Lots of New Stuff
The A4’s Premium Plus trim level brings further bling and tech. For starters, the Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system is now standard. And you get new standard LED headlights and DRLs for the A4 Allroad as well as the A4 40 and 45 models. Audi’s super-luxe Black Optic pack is now available on Premium Plus and Prestige trims on the Allroad. You might also be dazzled by the available Manhattan gray paint, and 18-inch five-spoke wheels. The sportier A4 45’s Black Optic pack now blacks out the exhaust tips and rear lip spoiler.
There’s a Black Optic Plus Update
The S4 gets a new Black Optic Plus update with available black rocker sill blades, exhaust tips, and Audi badges, among other things. The 18-inch wheels jump to 19 inches and there’s a new Audi Sport pack that includes black interior surfaces along with red stitching. (And more!)
Paints will Change
Quantum grey has been replaced with something called Chronos grey. And the buyer favorite Distinct Green is now available for all A4 and A5 cars. Some other hues are being discontinued.
The A5 Will be Entirely Different
The Audi A5 also gets many updates. LED headlights are now on the entire lineup and a Bang & Olufsen system now comes with the Premium Plus trim. Adaptive cruise control now comes with the optional Convenience package. New 18-inch, five-spoke wheels are available for the coupe, sportback, and cabriolet body styles of the A5.
Other models get changes as well
The A6, A7, and A8 won’t be left out of the fun and will receive many similar updates. The S6 and S7 are getting an Audi Sport pack that includes black leather and red stitching throughout. The S brand now includes LED interior lighting, heated rear seats, and an extended leather optional upgrade – all with Audi’s impressive driver-assist software – included in the Premium Plus package.
Don’t forget the A8
The remote park assist plus is joining the A8 and the S8 Executive trim for 2023. When you choose Comfort Plus you also get HD Matrix-design LED headlights and for the S8 you can opt for a new Valcona leather interior option.
And of course the SUVs
LED headlights and DRLs are standard for all Q3 models, which also now come with a high-tech wireless charging pad. Q3 40 models now have an 18-inch, five-spoke wheel, and optional 19-inch V-spoke wheels on the Black Optic package. The Q3 45 gets new 20-inch wheels with summer tires as an option in the
Black Optic.
The Audi Q5 and SQ5 now come standard with adaptive cruise control. The Premium Plus trim includes a new option: a Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system. And the Audi Q7 has a new engine: A turbocharged four-cylinder that churns out 261 hp.
