Audi is updating its lineup by renaming gas-powered models with odd numbers and using even numbers for electric vehicles. The A6, a well-known luxury sedan, is now an all-electric fastback with a drag coefficient 0.21. The new A6 Sportback e-tron, the most aerodynamic Audi so far, is available globally in both Avant and Sportback versions.

The new Audi A6 e-Tron is built on the same PPE platform as the Q6 e-Tron SUV. It has short overhangs, a long wheelbase, and a body-colored grille to highlight its electric power. It features an active cool-air intake and functional air curtains to enhance aerodynamics.

The Audi A6 e-tron features a stylish, modern design with customizable LED lighting and split headlamps. The front has a glossy black finish, sharp bonnet lines, and a body-colored grille. It measures 1,923 mm wide, 4,928 mm long, and 1,527 mm high. It offers a roomy interior with a 502-liter rear trunk and a 27-liter front trunk. You can also upgrade from the standard 19-inch wheels to 21-inch ones.

Inside, the Audi A6 e-tron has a large, curved display with a 14.5-inch infotainment screen and an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster. It also features a 10.9-inch passenger screen, an AI voice assistant, and a heads-up display with augmented reality.

A standout feature is the ambient lighting strip around the doors and dashboard that shows the charging status by changing color. The steering wheel has a unique shape, and traditional buttons are replaced with a touch control panel. The center console has a physical media dial and drive selector. The interior includes satin silver, fabric upholstery, and gloss black accents. Key features include a 20-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, a powered tailgate, full ADAS, a glass roof with adjustable opacity, and a 360-degree camera.

The Audi A6 e-tron will be offered in three versions: Performance RWD with 362 hp, Quattro AWD with 422 hp, and base RWD with 282 hp. The S6 e-tron models have Quattro AWD and produce 496 hp. Performance specs include 0-100 kph in 6.0 seconds for the base model, 4.5 seconds for the AWD, and 3.9 seconds for the S6 e-tron, with top speeds of 210 kph and 240 kph, respectively.

The A6 e-tron comes with two battery choices. The base RWD has an 83 kWh battery offering a range of 610 km, while the other variants feature a 100 kWh battery with a range of 647 km to 756 km. The 100 kWh battery supports 270 kW charging, reaching 80% charge in 21 minutes and providing 310 km of range in just 10 minutes. It includes dual charging ports and an optional 22 kW AC charger. Adaptive air suspension is available as an extra feature.

The A6 e-tron is expected to launch internationally starting early 2025, with Europe being the first market. Audi has not yet announced when it will be available in the UAE.
