The A6's travel has always been a very distinctive model in the Audi model, and in this electric comprehensive, what kind of way will this style meet us? Audi gave us the answer, that is, the Audi A6 Avant e-tron based on the PPE electrification platform.
The Audi A6 Avant e-tron Concept is not just another body form of the A6 Sportback e-tron Concept, its smooth lines and elegant style open up the design style of future Audi production models, thus gaining insight into the dynamic beauty and timeless charm of audi brand electric luxury models.
The concept car joins the Audi A6 family, further reinforcing the importance of the Audi A6 in the executive class of the Four Rings brand. The Audi A6 family has been one of the world's best-selling models since 1968 (formerly known as the Audi 100 until 1994). Since 1977, Audi has introduced avant models, revolutionizing the design of the station wagon, reinventing the mood and rebirth.
Avant models are dynamic, flexible and unique, and are often the industry's target to emulate. Avant's name is derived from Audi's 1995 advertising slogan "avant garde" (avant-garde pioneer) and has become synonymous with Audi's charming station wagon.
Complemented by the sleek lines of the form, PPE technology will ensure that the vehicle achieves a powerful driving performance and the daily functions of long journeys. In the future, depending on the drive system and model, the Audi A6 e-tron Concept has a WLTP standard range of up to 700 km/h and a high-performance version with an acceleration time of less than 4 seconds from zero to 100 km/h. The performance values for the Sportback and Avant versions are only slightly different.
The rear of the Audi A6 Avant e-tron concept combines spatial beauty and elegance, and the name "Travel Pioneer" refers not only to storage space, but also to powerful drive systems and battery technology. With the support of 800V charging technology and 270kW charging power, fast charging can increase the cruising range of 300 kilometers in 10 minutes.
In terms of the dynamic texture that electric vehicles pride themselves on, the Audi A6 e-tron concept is even more prominent. Thanks to the inherently high torque advantage, even energy-conscious entry-level models can accelerate to 100 km/h in 7 seconds. In high-performance models, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers can be shortened even to less than 4 seconds.
At the heart of the drive technology of each of the Audi A6 Avant e-tron concepts and future PPE platforms is 800V electrical technology. As on the Audi e-tron GT quattro before, this technology enables vehicles to charge DC at fast-charging stations up to 270 kW, significantly reducing charging time. This revolutionary technology will enter the high-volume mid-range and luxury car markets through the PPE platform for the first time.
This, combined with the spacious nature of the rear of the vehicle, the Audi A6 Avant e-tron is a "travel pioneer" in the double sense. PPE platform technology brings charging time closer to the time required for traditional refueling and parking. Charging for 10 minutes is enough to travel more than 300 kilometers. The Audi A6 e-tron Concept's 100kWh battery can be increased from 5% to 80% in 25 minutes.
Depending on the type and power of the drive system, the Audi A6 e-tron concept car has a range of 700 km or km – the perfect car for long-distance travel. In addition, the range and charging speed make the Audi A6 e-tron family model on par with the fuel vehicle, making it an ideal all-round electric vehicle – for everyday use, short trips, and long-distance road trips.
