Audi A6 e-tron

The Audi A6 e-tron is the first fully electric Audi offered as both a Sportback and an Avant. The production model had its world premiere on July 31, 2024, following the A6 e-tron concept shown in 2021. Customer ordering began in September 2024, and the range expanded with additional drivetrains in October 2024.

Built on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the A6 e-tron combines a low, aerodynamic body with long range, rapid charging, and a spacious digital interior.

Variants

The range includes Sportback and Avant versions with rear-wheel drive or quattro all-wheel drive. Depending on model and market, the line-up includes the A6 e-tron, A6 e-tron performance, A6 e-tron quattro, and S6 e-tron.

Two battery sizes are used:

• 83 kWh gross / 75.8 kWh usable
• 100 kWh gross / 94.9 kWh usable

The A6 Sportback e-tron performance offers the longest official range at up to 756 km WLTP. See the variants section for detailed outputs, range, equipment, and body-style differences.

Exterior

The A6 Sportback e-tron has a drag coefficient as low as 0.21, making it the most aerodynamic production Audi at launch. The Avant combines a practical estate body with a drag coefficient from 0.24. Both use split front lighting, a closed Singleframe, a continuous rear light strip, and pronounced quattro blisters.

Interior

The digital stage consists of an 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit and a 14.5-inch MMI touch display. A 10.9-inch front-passenger display is optional. Available equipment includes an augmented-reality head-up display, a panoramic roof with switchable transparency, virtual exterior mirrors, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system with headrest speakers.

Drivetrain and charging

The PPE platform uses an 800-volt electrical architecture. Versions with the 100 kWh battery can charge at up to 270 kW, taking approximately 21 minutes from 10 to 80% under ideal conditions. The 83 kWh version charges at up to 225 kW and reaches 80% in the same stated time.

Rear-wheel-drive models prioritize efficiency and range, while quattro and S6 variants add a front motor for traction and performance. Adaptive air suspension is available as an option.
