The Audi A6 E-Tron is a midsized, four-door luxury hatchback EV that is available with rear- or all-wheel drive.
The base version uses a 375-hp electric motor driving the rear wheels, while the all-wheel-drive E-Tron Quattro has front and rear electric motors for a combined 456 hp.
The high-performance S6 E-Tron comes with 543 hp and standard all-wheel drive.
The A6 E-Tron AWD model we tested is super quick, sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds.
It managed 347 miles during our 70-mph highway-range test--bettering the 333-mile EPA estimate.
Rapid public DC fast charging is possible thanks to an impressive 270-kW maximum acceptance rate.
Handling is agile, but the ride is quite firm.
The front seats are comfortable and supportive, but the rear seat is tight with minimal leg support.
Many interior controls are unintuitive and distracting to use while driving.
Visibility is compromised by the coupe-like styling, though the hatchback design adds cargo versatility.
There is no 2026 model.
For 2027, Audi made updates to the MMI infotainment system aimed at improving usability.
Audi also claims more efficient regenerative braking when using the vehicle's one-pedal driving mode.

The Audi A6 E-Tron is a midsized, four-door hatchback EV with a similar style to the automaker's A5 and A7 sportback models.
It is offered with three different powertrains when it goes on sale this summer.
The base version uses a 375-hp electric motor driving the rear wheels, while the all-wheel-drive E-Tron quattro has two electric motors that combine to produce 456 hp.
A high-performance, AWD S6 version will peak 543 hp with launch control.
All models have a 100 kWh battery.
The automaker says the car is using an 800-volt architecture, which allows it to have a 270 kW maximum acceptance rate at a public DC fast charger.
EPA-rated ranges are 324 miles for the S6; 333 miles for the quattro; and 392 miles for the rear-wheel drive on a full charge.
The interior is dominated by large screens: an 11.9-inch one in front of the driver curves and blends into the 14.5-inch center touchscreen.
An optional 10.9-inch display is available for the front passenger.
With a flat floor the three-person rear seat should be roomier than in the similarly-sized A6 with an internal combustion engine. There is no 2026 model year.
For 2027, Audi made updates to the MMI infotainment system aimed at improving usability.
Audi also claims more efficient regenerative braking when using the vehicle's one-pedal driving mode.
