2024 Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Concept

Last year, Audi introduced the A6 Avant E-Tron Concept as a fully electric station wagon, and the latest information reveals what the vehicle will look like. It is a continuation of the story that Audi started with the recently introduced A6 Sportback E-Tron concept model.

The A6 e-tron concept is built on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform developed by Audi and Porsche. A distinctive look with extra-thin lights, a large Single Frame grille, large side intakes and a centrally lit logo complete the design of the new Audi. The side silhouette reveals a slightly curved falling roof line towards the rear end.

The car is equipped with Matrix LED lights, 22-inch wheels, a wide light bar with digital OLED elements, while the cameras replace the side mirrors.

The A6 E-Tron Concept is powered by two electric motors with 469 hp (346 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. The high-performance model will reach 62 mph in less than 4 seconds and will have all-wheel drive. It is faster than the e-tron GT which takes 4.1 seconds to reach the same speed. The available 100 kWh battery provides a range of up to 435 miles (700 kilometers). Thanks to the fast charger that allows charging up to 270 kW, 5 to 80 percent of the battery can be charged in just 25 minutes. A 10-minute battery charge provides a range of 187 miles (300 kilometers).

The Audi A6 Avant E-Tron Concept will appear in showrooms in 2024.

Sony announced that it will produce the cars in cooperation with the Japanese company Honda. The cooperation will be realized through the newly established company “New Company.” The plan is for the first EVs to hit the market by 2025.
