Until recently, the new A6 e-tron was only available with a 100 kWh battery pack, but now Audi is introducing a smaller 83 kWh variant. This creates a new entry-level version, which can reach 625 kilometers (WLTP) on a single battery charge with this battery pack. It is powered by a 210 kW (286 hp) electric motor on the rear axle. Previously, the new BMW i5 competitor had at least 367 hp. Thanks to a 225 kW charging capacity, you can go from 10% to 80% charging in just 21 minutes, and in ideal conditions you can recharge enough in ten minutes for 260 kilometers of additional driving range.

A6 e-tron quattro

For those looking for extra performance, Audi now offers the A6 e-tron quattro. This variant delivers 315 kW (428 hp) of power and is equipped with a 100 kWh battery pack, combined of course with quattro all-wheel drive. Despite the powerful power, the range remains generous, with a maximum of 714 kilometers (WLTP).

Versions

The new A6 comes in three trims: the “edition” as the base variant, the sportier “Advanced edition” and the more luxurious “S edition. You can of course further personalize the A6 -tron with extras such as a panoramic roof with smart crystals, which can switch in four steps from fully clear to completely blinded. There are two body styles: the Sportback and the Avant.

Audi A6 e-tron prices

The entry-level version of the A6 e-tron is available from 63,990, making it about 12 mils cheaper than the previous entry-level car, which has the large 100 kWh battery pack. You then get the A6 e-tron Sportback to take home, because for the Avant with small battery you pay a minimum of 65,490 euros. The quattro variant starts at 79,990 euros and for 1,500 euros extra you have the Avant.
