Audi\u2019s got some new E-tron EV models, and this time around they aren\u2019t SUVs. Instead, we\u2019re getting electric versions of the A6, the automaker\u2019s popular midsized sedan, and it\u2019s coming in both a Sportback and an Avant station wagon style, along with performance S6 variants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Audi first revealed the A6 E-tron as a concept<\/a> at Auto Shanghai\u00a0back in 2021, and the production version is looking very close to the source material. The front still has slim headlights with adaptive matrix LEDs (only available outside the US due to regulations) and a front grill with a fish scale-like texture surrounded by a dark mask. And over on the back, the car has digital OLED panels for its rear lights that can be used as a safety communications display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The US is currently set to get just three versions of the new vehicle: the A6 RWD Sportback, A6 AWD (quattro) Sportback, and the S6 Sportback. They also won\u2019t get the slim virtual side view mirrors that help the car get a low drag coefficient of 0.21 since US regulations require actual mirrors. Audi claims the range of the vehicle on a single charge is over 700 kilometers (about 435 miles), although the US EPA estimation is likely to be much less.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The fastest version, the S6 E-tron, can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds when using launch control, which is not too far off from Tesla\u2019s latest Model 3 Performance<\/a> with a 0-60 of just 2.9 seconds. The S6 peaks at 543 horsepower and has a top speed of 149 mph.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
