Audi has expanded its all-electric A6 e-tron lineup, introducing new variants and pricing details that cater to a broader range of customers. Following its initial launch with performance and S6 models, Audi now offers more accessible options, including versions with rear-wheel drive and different battery sizes. This expansion reinforces Audi’s commitment to the electric vehicle market and provides consumers with diverse choices within the premium electric sedan segment. The key focus remains on delivering Audi’s signature blend of luxury, performance, and cutting-edge technology in an electric format.
The entry-level Audi A6 e-tron now comes with rear-wheel drive and two battery options. The standard version features a gross battery capacity of 83 kWh (75.8 kWh net), delivering a system output of 210 kW (240 kW with Launch Control). This configuration allows for swift acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just six seconds. For those seeking even greater range, another rear-wheel-drive variant is available with a larger 100 kWh battery (94.9 kWh net), maximizing driving distance without compromising on the core A6 e-tron experience.
Alongside the rear-wheel-drive models, Audi has also introduced a new quattro all-wheel-drive variant of the A6 e-tron. This model, equipped with the larger 100 kWh battery, boasts a system output of 315 kW (340 kW with Launch Control) and achieves 0-100 km/h in a sporty 4.5 seconds. The quattro system enhances traction and handling, providing confident performance in various driving conditions, a hallmark of Audi’s all-wheel-drive technology now adapted for the electric era.
Charging remains a crucial aspect of EV ownership, and the Audi A6 e-tron excels with its 800-volt technology and a maximum DC charging output of up to 270 kW. This enables rapid charging times at compatible high-power charging stations. For the rear-wheel-drive A6 e-tron, a ten-minute charge can add up to 260 kilometers of range for the Sportback and 245 kilometers for the Avant body style. Both rear-wheel and quattro drive models can increase their battery state of charge from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 21 minutes, minimizing downtime during long journeys. The intelligent thermal management system further optimizes charging performance and battery longevity.
Regarding range, the Audi A6 e-tron demonstrates impressive figures. The rear-wheel-drive Sportback variant achieves up to 627 kilometers, making it the most economical in the lineup. The Avant version offers up to 598 kilometers. The quattro all-wheel-drive variants also provide substantial range, with the Sportback reaching up to 716 kilometers and the Avant up to 685 kilometers.
