I am actually wondering about the following about the facelift (C7.5) version:

- When I compare the S-line front Bumper with the non-S line front bumper, the only difference seems the be the bumper trim (where normally the fog lights are) in the corners.
In case of the pre-facelift, the difference between S-line and non S-line seems to be much more noticable (this is also the case with the Audi A3 8V for example).

- When i look at the rear bumper, the difference seems to be the sport diffuser and maybe little bit sharper edges of the bumper?

So i was wondering whether anyone could confirm this, or are there any more differences?

Not sure about the front being really close.

Using these 2 articles.
Facelift non s-line. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/pictures/2016-audi-a6-facelift-adds-power-style-and-electronics-pictures/6/
Facelift s-line. https://www.autoblog.com/2014/11/06/2016-audi-a6-first-drive-review/

Very different front design, makes diffusers not really work between the 2 if using the lower profile as the mating surface.

As you noted the sweep to the sides is more visible but that makes the insert for the diffusers also very different.

Thank you for your reply.
The reason im asking it is because i see versions like this one in the link.

Im starting to believe that is from MY2017 and up.

Its called the business edition and on the back you can see its the non s line version, but the front really resembles the s line bumper. I cant find any of this facelift version from MY2017 and up with the non s-line bumper as shown by your upper picture.

I see what you mean by that car having a non-sline rear diffuser but a sline front. Different regions will be optioned out in various configurations, but the parts should not be overly unique, all coming from same parts bins essentially.
