The production A6 e-tron has been a long time coming with the A6 e-tron concept dating back to April of 2021. An A6 Avant e-tron concept followed in 2022. Regarding styling, both A6 e-tron concepts showcased a design that looked very near to production so expect the production car to carry over much of the styling elements. These would include the enclosed grille flanked by large inset vents and a split headlight set-up with sleek upper units housing configurable LED daytime running lamps and the main headlights housed lower down.

In profile, expect the A6 to carry over the concept’s four-door coupe-inspired looks while around the back it is expected to feature a full-width lightbar.
Inside, expect the A6 e-tron’s dashboard to mirror the design of the unit on the Q6 e-tron with a lot of the tech also expected to be shared. This would mean that one can expect tech such as a single freestanding panoramic display that consists of an 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit and a 14.5-inch MMI touch display and even a third dedicated screen for the co-driver.

Following its debut, the new A6 e-tron will go up against the likes of the Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan the the BMW i5.
