THE NEW AUDI A6 E-TRON IS HERE & WE HAVE ALL THE DETAILS

EV Channels Review

The Audi A6 E-Tron and S6 E-Tron, built on the new PPE platform, are presented as compelling electric alternatives to the BMW i5 and Mercedes EQE. While the wagon (Avant) version won't reach the US, the Sportback is highlighted for its sleek design, efficient performance, and impressive fast-charging capabilities. The reviewers are particularly excited about the platform's potential for long-distance road trips, praising its advanced route planning, preconditioning, and overall driving dynamics, which are expected to surpass previous Audi RS6 models. However, concerns are raised about the limited 11kW onboard AC charging in Europe (9.6kW in the US), potential pricing that might overlap with Porsche Macan, and the exclusion of certain advanced lighting features in the US market. Despite these drawbacks and Audi's perceived confusion in EV strategy, the A6 E-Tron is seen as a high-quality, refined, and potentially excellent road-tripping vehicle for those who value build quality and a comfortable driving experience, though it's acknowledged that the Q6 E-Tron SUV might be a more popular choice.
