The Audi A6 e-tron: the new electric avant garde

At the Auto Shanghai 2021 trade fair, the Audi A6 e-tron concept made its debut as the forerunner of an innovative family of all-electric volume models. Now, the Audi A6 e-tron* is being launched as a Sportback and Avant. As the second model on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), it features the familiar strengths of the PPE in terms of performance, range, efficiency, and charging. It is also the first model on the platform with a flat floor concept. The exterior is commanding, sporty, and perfectly proportioned. The interior is shaped by Audi’s new design philosophy. Depending on the chosen equipment, the A6 e-tron* offers many innovative features, such as second-generation virtual exterior mirrors, a panoramic glass roof with transparency control, and illuminated rings in the back. Since September 2024, the A6 e-tron performance* with rear-wheel drive and a system output of 270 kW (280 kW with Launch Control) and the S6 e-tron* with quattro drive and an output of 370 kW (405 kW with Launch Control), each as Sportback and Avant, can be ordered. Since October 2024, two more variants are available: a more affordable A6 e-tron* with rear-wheel drive and a smaller battery, which has a total gross capacity of 83 kWh (net 75.8 kWh), and another model with quattro all-wheel drive and the larger battery capacity of 100 kWh (net 94.9 kWh). The entry-level price for the A6 e-tron* is 62,800 euros.
