The new Audi A6 e-tron arrives in 2024 and does not rule out the sporty RS6 version , being available with versions with one or two engines and a range that can reach 700 km ! There will be car and van versions and it will be the biggest rival of the BMW i5 that should hit the market later this year. That is, we return to the “old” rivalry of the German triumvirate Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E Class.
New Audi A6 e-tron arrives in 2024
The new Audi A6 e-tron arrives in 2024 and will be based on the prototypes presented last year. And from what it was possible to find out, with only slight modifications to be able to be industrialized. Therefore, the images that illustrate this article show that the new Audi A6 and Audi A6 Avant are going to be absolutely spectacular.
Branded by Audi style director Marc Lichte, the new 100% electric Audi A6s are part of a family of prototypes that are much closer to series production than has been the case in the past. For this reason, the new Audi A8 will be very similar to the 2021 Grandsphere prototype and the latest Activesphere could be the Allroad version of the new A7, and the same prototype could be the new A7 or A5 in its various versions.
One or two engines and over 470 hp!
There are not many details of what the electric A6 will be, but we know that it will have the option of one or two electric motors. The first will be more familiar and relaxed, the second more focused on performance with accelerations that can be under four seconds.
It is believed that the powers are around 470 hp, but the RS6 version should have more than 600 hp, more or less the same as the Porsche Macan, a model very similar to this Audi A6 e-tron.
The PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform will accommodate a 100 kWh battery that allows for a range of up to 700 km with a charging capacity of up to 270 kW . That is, recovering 300 km of autonomy will take 10 minutes.
New Audi A6 e-tron similar to conventional A6
Audi says that the new model will be similar to a conventional A6 as it measures 4690 mm in length, 1960 mm in width and 1440 mm in height. As the battery will be between the two axes and will be flatter, it will not affect the habitability and load capacity. This can be reinforced with a “frunk” on the front.
According to Marc Lichte, the new Q6 e-tron and this A6 e-tron will be the first models to show Audi’s new style language, with the Activesphere already looking beyond 2030. Already using PPE, the platform that is to be completed by Audi and Porsche and which will be the basis of the Porsche Macan EV and Audi Q6 e-tron. A base that mixes elements coming from the Porsche Taycan, Audi e-tron GT and the MEB platform that is used by the entire VW group.
