Under the sleek exterior, the A6 e-tron packs a punch. The performance models, powered by a single rear-mounted motor, deliver 380PS, allowing the A6 to sprint from 0-62mph in just 5.4 seconds. If that’s not fast enough, the S6 models kick things up a notch with 550PS from dual motors, pushing the 0-62mph time down to a blistering 3.9 seconds.
Despite this performance, the A6 e-tron remains a sensible choice for long journeys, with rapid charging capabilities that allow for 192 miles of range after just 10 minutes on a high-powered charger. Even a quick coffee stop will give you plenty of juice to keep going.
Inside, the A6 e-tron the tech-forward interior doesn’t disappoint. Audi’s MMI panoramic display serves as the tech hub, featuring an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit alongside a 14.5-inch touchscreen for navigation and media controls.

Available in three trims—Sport, S line, and Edition 1—the A6 e-tron ensures that luxury and technology go hand in hand. Audi has gone all out with driver assistance tech, too. Standard features include adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera system, and emergency brake assist, while higher-spec models get the full suite of adaptive driving aids like lane-change and intersection cross-traffic assist.
For those seeking even more luxury, the S6 e-tron Edition 1 models are loaded with high-end features. The ventilated Super Sport seats are upholstered in Fine Nappa leather with diamond stitching, combining ultimate comfort with elegance. To enhance the premium feel, these seats come with an integrated massage function, elevating long drives to new levels of relaxation.
