Audi’s new electric A6 e-tron range will start from just under £70,000, the brand has confirmed.
With orders being accepted today (September 9), it marks the arrival of a new electric replacement for the popular A6 model range which, as before, can be specified in either Sportback or Avant – or estate – layouts.
Priced from £69,900, the new A6 e-tron gets a large 94.9kWh battery which can enable a range of up to 463 miles on the most long-distance variants. Standard A6 e-tron models receive a single rear-mounted electric motor with 375bhp, while more powerful S6 e-tron versions gain an additional motor on the front axle and an increased power output of 542bhp.
Thanks to 800-volt architecture the A6 e-tron can accept a charge of up to 270kW, which is enough to complete a 10 to 80 per cent charge in 21 minutes. The firm says that at this speed, 192 miles of range could be added in 10 minutes.
All versions get 20-inch alloys as standard, too, alongside LED headlights and a powered tailgate.
Prices for the new A6 e-tron – which is available to order now – kick off at £69,900 for an entry-level Sport model – or £71,700 for the equivalent estate version – and rise to £99,300 for range-topping S6 version.
