GERMANY: The Audi A6 with all-electric features undergoing winter testing in arctic conditions appears very cold in new spy photos. A set of crisp photos show the details behind the camouflage wrap, thanks to the cold air.
The all-electric Audi A6’s four-door split headlight arrangement has been revealed to its best extent yet. A set of LED running lights at the top of the fascia conceals the production model’s primary lights, in contrast to the A6 E-Tron concept, which debuted in April 2021.
When examined closely, the overall design of those lamps is reminiscent of the most recent BMW 7 Series. The headlamps will mount high in the side vents, with the classic Audi grille in the centre.
The lower fascia’s precise details remain a mystery, but renderings suggest a symmetrical design is on the way.
The thin tail lights on the rear end look exactly like the concept car, but they don’t go as far forward on the quarter panels as shown earlier.
Like the A7 Sportback, the E-Tron has a swooping roof, while the standard A6 is a clear sedan. A closer look at the panel gaps below the rear window suggests a standard trunk lid rather than a larger hatch is in place. However, Audi has not yet confirmed the specific design.
The A6 E-Tron might use Audi’s Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture beneath everything else. That is the same platform behind the Q6 E-Tron and the upcoming Porsche Macan EV, but there have been no rumours about power or range.
The dual-motor layout of the A6 E-Tron concept produced 470 horsepower (350 kilowatts) and a WLTP-stated 435-mile range on a full charge.
Once Audi releases the official model of the A6, there is no reason to believe that the production model will depart significantly from those standards.
Moreover, prototypes have been on display for nearly a year now. Initially, Audi fans anticipated a debut by the end of 2022, but now that the year is almost over, they will have to wait a little longer.
The A6 E-Tron model might be launched in 2024 when the camo finally comes off, likely in the first quarter of 2023.
