AUDI A6 L e-tron

A well-balanced saloon thanks to the long wheelbase

The prototype spotted in the mountains of northern Sweden is fully camouflaged. From the silhouette, the model appears to be a full-fledged executive saloon. Its differences from the standard Audi A6 e-tron include a redesigned roofline and a larger rear end. The cabin has been adjusted behind the C-pillar to accommodate the longer wheelbase, resulting in more balanced proportions.

The front end features enlarged bumper intakes and a grille-less nose, while the rear diffuser has a simplified layout and may feature a unique pattern.

Specification changed exclusively for the Chinese market

It will be equipped with a 107kWh battery pack, and is expected to have a driving range of over 700km per charge in the CLTC cycle. Like the global version, it may be available in single (RWD) and dual (AWD) motor configurations.

The A6 L e-tron will be produced at the Changchun plant as part of a joint venture between Audi and FAW, and will be the second PPE model produced in China, following the Q6 L e-tron, which began production in December 2024.
