Audi has officially introduced the latest generation of the A6 Avant, marking a new era of sophistication, innovation, and performance for the iconic estate. With a renewed focus on sleek aesthetics, advanced technology, and improved efficiency, the new A6 Avant combines timeless styling with exceptional aerodynamic performance, achieving a drag coefficient of just 0.25—the most efficient ever recorded for a combustion-engine Avant in Audi’s history.

The design of the new A6 Avant has been carefully refined to balance elegance with athleticism. The exterior features a clean, functional design language, complemented by extensive aerodynamic enhancements. At the front, large air curtains and controllable cool-air intakes optimise airflow, while a sporty roof spoiler and aerodynamic panels positioned alongside the rear window further reduce drag. The rear of the vehicle is dominated by a bold diffuser, flanked by distinctive quattro blisters that emphasise the Avant’s muscular stance. Together with an elongated hood and long wheelbase, these design elements create a harmonious blend of dynamic proportions and refined styling.

Powering the new A6 Avant is Audi’s advanced MHEV Plus mild hybrid technology, which improves both performance and efficiency. Customers can choose between a 2.0-litre TDI four-cylinder engine producing 204PS and a 3.0-litre TFSI six-cylinder engine delivering 367PS. Central to the MHEV Plus system is a 48-volt battery, a belt alternator starter (BAS), and a powertrain generator (PTG) equipped with integrated power electronics. This system allows the A6 Avant to operate in fully electric mode during low-speed city driving and parking situations, while also providing up to 230Nm of additional torque and recovering energy during deceleration. These features contribute to a smoother driving experience and reduced carbon emissions.
