2025 AUDI A6 AND S6 E-TRON REVIEW: THE EVERY DAY SEDAN WITH A SLEEPER ALTER EGO

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Audi A6 e-tron and S6 Sportback offer a compelling blend of everyday usability and performance, presented in a sleek, aerodynamic fastback design. The reviewer highlights the customizable lighting signatures and the practical, albeit not enormous, front trunk. The interior boasts a large, customizable driver display and an impressive, highly interactive head-up display, though the reviewer notes a preference for wood trim over the prevalent black plastic in the center console. Practicality is a strong suit, with a substantial 26 cubic feet of cargo space in the rear, expandable to 40 cubic feet with seats folded. The reviewer praises the range figures, particularly with the optional Ultra package, noting up to 392 miles for the A6 and a still respectable 302 miles for the S6 with larger tires. Performance is a key differentiator: the A6 offers RWD (375 hp, 5.2s 0-60) and AWD (450+ hp, 4.3s 0-60) variants, while the S6 delivers a potent 540 hp with a 3.7s 0-60 time. The S6 is positioned as a strong competitor to the BMW i5, offering more range and performance for a slightly lower price. While not an RS6, the S6 provides a sporty yet comfortable ride, with the reviewer expressing a desire for more time behind the wheel to fully explore its capabilities. The reviewer concludes that both models, especially the S6, should be on the shopping list for luxury electric sedan buyers.
