Audi’s latest A6 has been officially launched in Singapore, and the range now includes the electric A6 e-tron and S6 e-tron models.
Audi has officially launched the latest generation A6 executive sedan in Singapore, and for the first time, the range is complemented by the electric A6 e-tron and S6 e-tron models.
Two versions of the standard petrol-powered A6 will be offered here, with the base model featuring a 2.0-litre inline-four engine that produces 201hp and 340Nm of torque. The more powerful A6 meanwhile, will have a 3.0-litre V6 engine that produces 362hp and 550Nm of torque, and comes with mild hybrid technology.
The new A6 features a sleek and aerodynamic design that mimics that of similar recent Audi models like the A5 Sedan. The large single-frame grille and thin LED headlights give the car an imposing stance, while at the rear, the Matrix LED taillights feature a distinctive signature that transforms into triangular shapes when the hazard lights are activated.
Both A6 variants come with progressive steering as standard, with the more powerful A6 3.0 also adding all-wheel steering and Quattro all-wheel-drive with a sports differential. There is also an option to spec adaptive air suspension for the A6 3.0, which lowers the car by 20mm in standard driving modes, and a further 10mm in Dynamic mode.
Inside, the new A6 has been designed to offer a quiet and refined experience, with its advanced sound insulation and acoustic glazing that has been improved by up to 30 per cent over its predecessor.
Other highlights include a 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen 3D Premium sound system, four-zone deluxe automatic air conditioning, power latching function for doors, a customisable head-up display with 85 per cent larger projection, and a full suite of driver assistance systems.
The A6 e-tron, meanwhile, is a landmark car for Audi, being built on the brand’s Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, and is the first PPE car with a flat floor concept that comes with rear-wheel-drive.
Just one drivetrain option is available for the A6 e-tron for now, with a single electric motor that produces 210kW/282hp and 450Nm of torque, although power can be boosted up to 240kW/322hp when launch control is activated. The 83kWh battery gives the A6 e-tron a range of 563km when fully charged.
The A6 e-tron looks visually different from the petrol A6 thanks to its sleek Sportback body shape, and design highlights include the optional customisable OLED taillights, as well as the illuminated Audi four rings logo.
The interior of the A6 e-tron features the new Audi Digital Stage panoramic curved display, first seen on the Audi Q6 e-tron, along with the MMI display screen for the front passenger that’s available as standard.
Along with the new A6 and A6 e-tron, Audi also unveiled the high-performance S6 e-tron, which comes with dual-motors and all-wheel-drive, for a total output of 370kW/496hp and 785Nm of torque, with launch control boosting that power output to 405kW/543hp.
With its larger 100kWh battery, the S6 e-tron also offers an impressive range of up to 646km when fully charged.
Pricing starts at $372,999 with COE for the A6 2.0 Advanced, while there is also a special Edition 1 launch special that is going for $392,999 with COE. The A6 3.0 quattro S Line meanwhile is retailing for $428,999 with COE.
For the A6 e-tron, the standard Advanced model is going for $375,999 with COE, while the Edition 1 model is priced at $395,999 with COE. The S6 e-tron meanwhile, will set you back $462,999 with COE.
