Audi A6 Avant e-tron 

The A6 Avant e-tron will use the VW Group’s Premium Platform Electric (PPE) jointly developed with Porsche. It underpins many of the Porsche and Audi EVs already on sale. The touring measures 4.87 m in length, 1.95m in width and 1.43 m in height. 

Design-wise, the Avant e-tron looks very similar to the A6 e-tron. It features the same Digital Matrix LED headlamp with three rows of LEDs. These LEDs give customers the freedom to design their own DRL shapes. The taillight is spread across the width of the car with Audi’s new LED lighting. Audi’s four-ring logo is now illuminated at both the front and rear end. 

The most attractive feature is the shutter system in the headlight and taillight. They can now turn into specific shapes or animations and project a video game on a wall or screen. The LED projectors placed around the car can now welcome the occupants with their names displayed on the ground. The other LED modules project the turn indicators on the floor which acts as a safety feature.

Audi hasn’t disclosed any specifics regarding the battery and electric motors. But Audi claims the A6 Avant e-tron can go 700 km in a single charge.

The car can go up to 300 km with just 10 mins of charging time. 

The A6 Avant e-tron might seem big, but the EV is super quick. With Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system, the EV can go from standstill to 100 kmph in just 4 seconds. A single motor step up is also in the cards which can go from 0-100 kmph in 7 seconds.
