Audi A6 e-tron revealed in multiple trims, range of up to 756 km on a single charge
Audi has officially revealed the new A6 e-tron, available in Sportback and Avant body styles. This marks the second Audi model to utilize the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, following the Q6 e-tron SUV that debuted earlier this year. The PPE platform, co-developed with Porsche, is set to be a cornerstone for future electric vehicles from the Volkswagen Group.
Design and Style
The A6 e-tron adheres to Audi’s new naming convention where even numbers denote electric vehicles, distinguishing it as an electric counterpart to the recently introduced A5 sedan. Its design, influenced by the 2021 and 2022 A6 e-tron Sportback and Avant concepts, is understated yet sophisticated.
Notable features include a split headlight design with customizable upper LED DRLs and Matrix headlights, a gloss black fascia with a sealed trapezoidal grille, and sporty inserts that distinguish the S6 variants. The Sportback’s sleek design aids aerodynamic efficiency, boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.21 cd, the lowest for any Audi to date.
The vehicle’s side profile is accentuated by smooth curves and contrasting cladding, while the rear features a continuous light bar and advanced second-generation OLED taillights. An illuminated four-ring Audi logo adds a unique touch. The A6 e-tron measures 4928 mm long, 1923 mm wide, 1527 mm high and has a wheelbase of 2946 mm, providing ample interior space and a practical 502-liter trunk. Standard wheel sizes start at 19 inches, with options up to 21 inches.
Interior and Features
Inside, the A6 e-tron mirrors the advanced electronics architecture of the Q6 e-tron, featuring a single curved display integrating an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.5-inch central infotainment screen. A separate 10.9-inch display serves the front passenger. The system runs on an Android-based operating system and includes a head-up display with augmented reality capabilities. A highlight is the ambient lighting strip, which serves several functions, including indicating charging status and displaying animations.
The cabin is notably leather-free, with a mix of cloth, satin silver and gloss black trim. Key features include a 20-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, a full suite of advanced driver assistance systems, a 360-degree camera, a panoramic glass roof and a new touch-based control panel for various functions.
Performance and specifications
The Audi A6 e-tron range offers three initial variants: a rear-wheel drive base model with 282 hp, a Performance RWD version with 362 hp and a Quattro all-wheel drive model with 422 hp. The high-performance S6 e-tron models offer up to 543 hp with launch control. The AWD variants feature a front asynchronous motor and a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds for the S6 e-tron.
Two battery options are available: an 83 kWh unit offering a WLTP range of 610 km for the base variant and a 100 kWh unit providing between 647 km and 756 km depending on the model. The larger battery supports fast charging at up to 270 kW, allowing a charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 21 minutes.
Market launch and pricing
The Audi A6 e-tron is expected to enter the European market in early 2025, with a starting price of around €75,000. The high-performance S6 e-tron will be priced around €100,000. The Indian market can expect the A6 e-tron to arrive in mid-2025, where it will compete with the BMW i5 among other luxury electric sedans.
