2026 Audi A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro and A6 Sedan e-hybrid quattro

Audi has expanded its fleet with two new versions of the A6 model that combine efficiency and performance, the A6 Avant e-hybrid quattro and the A6 Sedan e-hybrid quattro. Both versions come with a longer wheelbase and wider track.

These A6 hybrids firmly position Audi in the premium hybrid market by combining efficiency, power and luxury. Apart from minor design changes, the rest of the car is identical to the standard A6, with the addition of an improved three-zone air conditioning system and acoustics that are now 30 percent better. The biggest changes are under the bonnet.

The sedan e-hybrid quattro is powered by a 2.0-L TFSI engine combined with an electric motor for a total output of 299 hp and 450 Nm of torque, which is enough to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6 seconds. In the case of the Avant e-hybrid quattro, the same hybrid combination is used with slightly more power, 367 hp and 500 Nm of torque, but also faster acceleration to 100 km/h (5.3 seconds).

Audi has improved the recuperation system that allows you to adjust the energy recovery via paddles on the steering wheel. Drivers can also count on two driving modes, EV for fully electric drive and Hybrid for optimized efficiency, which allows automatic adjustment depending on driving conditions. All modes include a four-wheel steering system, which improves agility and stability.

When it comes to price, the Sedan starts at 65,800 euros, while the Avant is slightly more expensive and costs 68,300 euros. The more powerful versions, with 367 hp, are more expensive and cost 75,050 and 77,550 euros.

2026 Audi A6 Avant TFSI

On March 4, Audi will launch the new generation of the A6. The car will be presented in two body styles, first as a station wagon (Avant), and then a sedan version will be launched.

YouTube channel KondorCars has released a short video showing the Audi A6 Avant in the S-Line version with aggressive bumpers, larger wheels and darkened logos. At first glance, the new A6 has a design similar to the A5, but with a higher radiator grille and headlights similar to those used on the RS6 and A7 Sportback. There is also an LED line that runs the width of the rear.

What we know for now is that the new A6 will be based on the PPC (Premium Platform Combustion) platform, an improved version of the MLB Evo platform currently in use. When it comes to powertrains, it will be offered as a gasoline and diesel with mild hybrid technology.

In March 2024, Audi announced a new naming scheme to separate the electric models (A4 and A6) from the ICE models (A5 and A7), but that is not going to happen. They now have a new goal, to become a luxury brand and join brands like Mercedes-Benz. Whether they will be able to achieve this remains to be seen.

Audi A6 has come to an end

The Audi Group, like other German and European car manufacturers, is going through a difficult period, and the drop in demand for their cars further complicates an already difficult situation. Back in 2023, former Audi director Markus Duesmann said that some models will get new names, so the A6 will become the A7.

It was already obvious that Audi has decided to separate the electric models (A4 and A6) from the ICE models (A5 and A7) with new designations. Some models have since been retired, such as the Audi A1 and the Q2 subcompact crossover, and the same fate befell the sports model TT and R8.

The launch of the new A7 is scheduled for early next year, and no further details have been revealed. It will be a gasoline and hybrid sedan that will replace the standard A6. Thus, at the same time, the sedan and station wagon known to us under the designation A6 and A6 Avant, the model that appeared in 1994 (A6 C4) as the successor to the Audi 100, will disappear from the scene.

Fans of wagons do not have to worry because Audi has decided to launch the A7 Avant on the market, and whether the RS7 Avant will also be available remains to be seen. However, before the new A7 arrives, Audi intends to reveal the next-generation Q5 Sportback at the end of November.

Since the beginning of the year, Audi has seen a decline in sales, and with it a drastic reduction in revenue and profit. In the first 9 months, the Audi Group recorded a 10.9% drop in sales, which is the biggest drop for Audi. It sold 8.5 percent fewer cars in China, 9.8 percent fewer in Europe and even 16.8 percent fewer in America. Other Group brands also recorded a decline, such as Bentley, which sold as many as 26.8 percent fewer cars. The only one that achieved growth was Lamborghini. This caused a drop in profit, which in Q3 was only EUR 106 million (-91%).
