Audi has expanded its all-electric A6 e-tron lineup, introducing new models alongside the previously announced performance and S6 e-tron versions. This expansion brings a wider range of options to consumers interested in entering the electric vehicle market with a premium sedan or wagon. Crucially for potential buyers, the announcement includes details on the Audi A6 e-tron price for these new variants, making the electric future more tangible.
The initial launch featured the Audi A6 e-tron performance with rear-wheel drive and the sporty Audi S6 e-tron quattro. Now, Audi adds two more choices: a more accessible entry-level A6 e-tron with rear-wheel drive and a smaller 83 kWh battery, and another quattro all-wheel-drive model equipped with a larger 100 kWh battery. This diversification caters to different needs and budgets within the electric vehicle segment.
Exploring the New Audi A6 e-tron Models and Their Pricing
The base model Audi A6 e-tron price starts at a competitive 62,800 euros for the Sportback version and 64,450 euros for the Avant. This rear-wheel-drive variant, despite being the entry point, still delivers a respectable 210 kW of power (boosting to 240 kW with Launch Control). It achieves 0-100 km/h in 6 seconds, offering brisk acceleration for daily driving.
For those seeking all-wheel drive and enhanced performance, the Audi A6 e-tron quattro begins at 79,800 euros for the Sportback and 81,450 euros for the Avant. This model boasts a significant power upgrade to 315 kW (or 340 kW with Launch Control) and accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds. The price difference reflects the enhanced performance and larger battery capacity.
Battery, Range, and Charging Capabilities of the A6 e-tron
A key differentiator between the new models is battery size. The entry-level rear-wheel-drive A6 e-tron utilizes an 83 kWh battery (75.8 kWh net), while the quattro and higher-spec rear-wheel-drive models feature a larger 100 kWh battery (94.9 kWh net).
Thanks to its 800-volt technology, the Audi A6 e-tron family excels in charging speed. All models support up to 225 kW DC fast charging as standard (with the quattro variant reaching 270 kW). At a high-power charging station, the A6 e-tron can gain up to 260 kilometers of range for the Sportback (290km for quattro Sportback) and 245 kilometers for the Avant (280km for quattro Avant) in just ten minutes. Charging from 10 to 80 percent state-of-charge takes a mere 21 minutes across the range.
The range figures are equally impressive. The most efficient A6 Sportback e-tron achieves up to 627 kilometers on a single charge, while the Avant version offers up to 598 kilometers. The quattro versions also provide substantial range, with the Sportback reaching up to 716 kilometers and the Avant up to 685 kilometers, ensuring long journeys are easily manageable.
