One of Audi’s longest-running nameplates is reinvented as an electric vehicle.

While it wears a familiar name, the 2025 Audi A6 e-tron is an entirely new, all-electric model. It’s based on the same Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture as the Audi Q6 e-tron and Porsche Macan Electric crossover SUVs, imbuing it with an 800-volt electrical architecture for faster charging and battery and powertrain tech designed to maximize efficiency. Competitors include electric luxury sedans like the BMW i5, Lucid Air and Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan.

Verdict: The first electric Audi A6 is competently executed overall, but the single-motor base model is likely the one to have.
