The ultimate aerodynamic Audi – the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron is open for orders
“Every detail fine-tuned to the last millimetre.” – Andreas Lauterbach, Audi Aerodynamic Designer.
Powerful, sophisticated, electrifying – a new era for Audi electric has arrived with the incredible New Audi A6 e-tron. Luxurious, sporty design meets powerful all-electric smoothness in this dynamic addition, which comes in two versions: the Avant and the Sportback.
Orders are now open for this exciting model and for pre-booked test drives at Vindis – read on to find out everything you need to know about the Sportback variant!
A new chapter
Redefining the limits
Audi have broken new boundaries with the A6 Sportback e-tron, which boasts a remarkable drag coefficient (Cd) value of just 0.21, meaning you’ll glide smoothly ahead. The new Cd figure surpasses the third-generation Audi 80 (B3), which had set the precedent of Audi’s aerodynamic pedigree with its 0.29 Cd.
Achieving these incredible Cd values required immense dedication and a keen eye for detail, and that’s where the work of aerodynamic designers Andreas Lauterbach and Matteo Ghelfi and wheel designer Andreas Valencia Pollex came in.
Lauterbach said: “From the very start of the project, we placed a high value on efficiency and range and pursued very ambitious goals. To be honest, in the beginning, we weren’t sure if we would be able to achieve the values we were aiming for. Getting to that last thousandth of a Cd value is the hardest part, but in the end, we exceeded our goals.”
Teamwork makes the dream work
Pollex further explained the thought behind the 21-inch wheel with aero blades made from special plastic, saying: “To achieve perfect aerodynamics, the rims had to be somewhat flat so that the air that hits the front of the car is directed sideways around the body without much turbulence.”
In all, Audi designers ran around 2,800 simulations on the car and spent countless hours in the wind tunnel. Every detail was considered and “pored over”; as Ghelfi notes: “The aero bezels alone improve the range by 0.008, equivalent to eight kilometres. That’s a significant advantage to come from a single design detail.”
The designers also optimised the underfloor area, rear diffuser and cool-air intake to enhance the aerodynamic performance.
And it’s not just the exterior design that assures a smooth and comfortable journey! In the S line trim, the A6 Sportback e-tron’s front sports seats have integrated headrests and pronounced seat bolsters to provide excellent lateral support to provide next-level comfort when handling any sharp corners.
Relishing every interior detail
As well as the smoothness of the ride, the A6 Sportback e-tron packs in a lot of power! Travel up to 463 miles* on a single charge, power up to 380PS and accelerate from 0 to 62mph in just 5.4 seconds. Enjoy the cosy ambience on high-grade soft materials to ensure absolute comfort at every stage of the journey. What’s more, these materials are partly manufactured from recycled fibres to ensure an all-round sustainable driving experience.
Prepare to be amazed by the technological upgrades the A6 Sportback e-tron has to offer with the Sound & Vision pack available on the S line and above – and the Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium Sound System takes audio to new levels. With a total of 20 loudspeakers, you can fully immerse yourself in three-dimensional sound as you travel.

*Range dependent on trim and optional equipment. All vehicles are tested according to WLTP technical procedures. Figures shown are official test values for comparability purposes; only compare electric range figures with other vehicles tested to the same technical procedures. These figures may not reflect real-life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including but not limited to factory fitted options, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, road and traffic conditions, individual driving styles, vehicle load, vehicle condition, use of systems like climate control (and, for battery electric vehicles, the starting charge, age and conditions of the battery). Figures for battery electric vehicles were obtained after the battery had been fully charged. Battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. Zero emissions while driving. Figures quoted are subject to change due to ongoing approvals/changes and figures may include options not available in the UK. Please consult your local Audi Centre for further information.
Lithium-ion batteries, of the type used in most electric vehicles (including Audi electric vehicles) have a restricted lifespan. Battery capacity will reduce over time, with use and charging. Reduction in battery capacity will affect the performance of the vehicle, including the range achievable, and is one of a number of factors that may impact resale value. New car performance figures (including battery capacity and range) may be provided for the purposes of comparison between vehicles. You should not rely on new car performance figures (including battery capacity and range) in relation to used vehicles with older batteries, as they will not reflect used vehicle performance in the real world.
