Audi expand the A6 family
Published on 31st October 2024 at 08:19
The A6 e-tron family is expanding, launching an entry-level variant with rear-wheel
drive and a more affordable variant with quattro drive. The A6 Sportback e-tron
costs €74,500, and the A6 Avant e-tron €76,325. The price for the A6 Sportback e-
tron quattro is €90,370, and for the A6 Avant e-tron quattro €92,195.
At its world premiere in July this year, the new A6 e-tron was presented in two
versions: the Audi A6 e-tron performance with rear-wheel drive and a system output
of 270 kW (with Launch Control 280 kW) and a sporty Audi S6 e-tron with quattro
drive and an output of 370 kW (with Launch Control 405 kW).
Two further variants are now available to order: a more affordable A6 e-tron with
rear-wheel drive and a smaller battery, which has a total gross capacity of 83 kWh
(75.8 kWh net), as well as another model with quattro permanent all-wheel drive and
a larger battery capacity of 100 kWh (94.9 kWh net).
The new A6 e-tron with rear-wheel drive has a system output of 210 kW (with
Launch Control 240 kW). Thanks to the 800-volt technology and a maximum DC
charging output of 225 kW as standard, short charging stops are possible with the
Audi A6 e-tron.
At a suitable charging station (High Power Charging, HPC), up to 260 kilometres can
be recharged in just ten minutes for the Sportback and 245 kilometres for the Avant.
The State of Charge (SoC) increases from 10 to 80 percent in 21 minutes. Intelligent,
high-performance, and predictive thermal management makes this impressive
charging performance possible. The total range is up to 622 kilometres for the A6
Sportback e-tron and up to 592 kilometres for the A6 Avant e-tron. The A6 Sportback
e-tron is the most economical derivative within the A6 e-tron family.
The new, additional variant with quattro drive has a system output of 315 kW (with
Launch Control 340 kW) The A6 e-tron quattro can be recharged in ten minutes at
an HPC charging station with a maximum charging capacity of 270 kW, giving the
Sportback a range of up to 290 kilometres and the Avant a range of 280 kilometres.
Here, too, the State of Charge increases from 10 to 80 percent in just 21 minutes. The
range is up to 711 kilometres (A6 Sportback e-tron quattro) and up to 697 kilometres
(A6 Avant e-tron quattro).
