Review and specifications

2025 Audi A6 E-tron

The Audi A6 E-Tron is a midsized, four-door hatchback EV with a similar style to the automaker's A5 and A7 sportback models. It is offered with three different powertrains when it goes on sale this summer. The base version uses a 375-hp electric motor driving the rear wheels, while the all-wheel-drive E-Tron quattro has two electric motors that combine to produce 456 hp. A high-performance, AWD S6 version will peak 543 hp with launch control. All models have a 100 kWh battery. The automaker says the car is using an 800-volt architecture, which allows it to have a 270 kW maximum acceptance rate at a public DC fast charger. EPA-rated ranges are 324 miles for the S6; 333 miles for the quattro; and 392 miles for the rear-wheel drive on a full charge. The interior is dominated by large screens: an 11.9-inch one in front of the driver curves and blends into the 14.5-inch center touchscreen. An optional 10.9-inch display is available for the front passenger. With a flat floor the three-person rear seat should be roomier than in the similarly-sized A6 with an internal combustion engine.
