Video Summary
Based on the YouTube video, here's a summary of the Audi A6 e-tron review:The A6 is available as a hybrid and a diesel version is coming soon; there had been some confusion about using even numbers for electric and odd for combustion vehicles at Audi. It sits on the PPE platform co-developed with Porsche. A starting price in Ireland is €74,500. The car’s appearance is more streamlined compared to past Audi models. The car is 4928mm long; Avant version is slightly more expensive, yet boot space is the same. This press car has €1,800 digital mirrors, which some compare to the arms of a T-Rex. 800-volt charging architecture; charging is 225 kW standard, up to 270 kW with larger battery. 300 km range can be added in 10 minutes at fast chargers. It has a 100 kW battery and can be charged cheaply at home, though it might take several nights on the cheapest rate. One can also charge using excess solar power, requiring at least 1.5 kW. The base version reviewed has 286 hp with a single motor powering rear-wheel drive. Claimed range is over 700 km on a single charge. The smaller, 83 kW battery version gets a claimed 622 km range. There's a performance model with 367 hp and 565 Nm of torque. Boot space is 502 litres, considered adequate but not massive. The seat bench in back is slightly raised due to battery placement. There is ample legroom. The reviewer found the air vents felt cheap. It comes with a first-aid kit in the armrest. Rear passengers can control climate and charge devices. Middle headrest may impair rear view. The side mirrors narrow the field of vision. In testing conditions, it achieves 21.8 kW per 100 km; that number to be expected is 15km. The vehicle has impressive power and acceleration, though the reviewer noticed a bit of pitch with acceleration. Lane keep assist is aggressive; the reviewer advises to switch it off. Overall this is a tourer, it's is good at that task. The exterior look is attractive and attention grabbing. This car ticks a lot of boxes, and is worth considering over the hybrid or diesel.
