Audi has unveiled its latest plug-in hybrid variants of the A6 Sedan and Avant, boasting significant improvements in battery capacity, electric driving range, and overall refinement. Both body styles now integrate a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with an electric motor, with total system outputs offered in two variants—295hp and 362hp. These upgrades position the A6 e-hybrid models as more efficient alternatives to diesel-powered counterparts, while still delivering strong performance.
A key highlight of the revamped plug-in hybrids is the newly upgraded battery. With a net capacity of 20.7 kWh—around 45 percent more than its predecessor—the battery enables the vehicles to travel over 100km purely on electric power under the WLTP combined cycle. Specifically, the A6 Sedan is capable of reaching up to 111km of electric range in urban conditions, while the Avant achieves up to 106km. Even at higher speeds, the A6 can maintain fully electric propulsion up to an electronically limited 140km/h.
The two powertrain options deliver impressive torque and acceleration. The base version generates 450Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in six seconds, while the higher-powered model outputs 500Nm and completes the sprint in just 5.3 seconds. For those seeking greater performance, Audi still offers more powerful V6 mild-hybrid and high-performance S and RS variants.
