Is the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron a good car?

This is the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron, a large electric hatchback with styling so smooth Audi claims it’s the most aerodynamic car it has ever built. This helps it to achieve a hugely impressive range between charges.

It’s a bit like wearing office wear from M&S, because it’s for people who need something to fit into their everyday life, while looking good in the process.

Other posh alternatives with electric power include the BMW i5 and Mercedes EQE, or if you’re willing to forgo a little badge appeal, the Volkswagen ID7.

Because of its aerodynamics-focused design, the Audi A6 Sportback has a slim front end with narrow headlights, while around the rear you get a full-width rear light that’s a signature of Audi’s current range of cars, such as the Audi Q6 e-tron.

Speaking of the Q6, the Audi A6 is based on the same mechanical bits as that car, so it shares a lot of its technology, including the fantastic big screen setup inside. A big panel runs behind the steering wheel and across the dashboard and houses two massive screens. The graphics are sharp and it’s really responsive, though a little clunky to figure out where everything is.

The Audi A6 Sportback e-tron’s sleek looks aren’t just for show – its aerodynamic design promises genuinely impressive range

Interestingly, the boot has a 502-litre capacity, which is exactly the same as you get in the A6 Avant e-tron (that’s Audi-speak for estate). Choosing between the two is largely down to aesthetics, then, though the Avant is likely to be easier to carry tall items because of the squarer roof shape, and you get a bit more seats-down space. Both also have a 27-litre load area under the bonnet.

Another difference between the two is how far they go between charges. Both get the same 100kWh battery, but the hatchback has an official range of up to 466 miles, which is incredibly impressive and about 20 miles more than the A6 Avant. More importantly, that’s almost 40 miles more than a Mercedes EQE can manage, and it’s 60 miles up on a Polestar 2 Long Range.

Furthermore, the A6 gets advanced charging technology, which means it can top up at speeds of up to 270kW, which can add nearly 200 miles in 10 minutes. The 10-80% charge time is just 21 minutes, despite the battery being so big.

The A6 Sportback e-tron has 380hp as standard, which results in a 5.4-second 0-60mph time. However, if you want more performance, there’s also the 3.9-second S6 Sportback e-tron.

The Audi A6 Sportback e-tron costs about the same as the Mercedes EQE, but it’s a bit more than the excellent BMW i5. You have to pay almost £3,000 more for the estate-shaped Avant. The Volkswagen ID7 is nowhere near as posh, but the savings are huge by comparison – the starting price is almost £20,000 lower than the A6.

There are three trim options on offer: Sport, S Line and a limited-run Edition 1 model. As standard, Sport models come with keyless entry, heated front seats, a 14.5-inch infotainment screen, an 11.9-inch digital driver’s display, adaptive cruise control and 20-inch alloy wheels.

Stepping up to the S Line gets you sports seats, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, a more sporty-looking body kit and rear privacy glass. Edition 1 cars have these same upgrades, plus lane departure warning, lane change assist, extended airbags and a more advanced adaptive cruise control system.
