Video Summary
The new Audi A6 has a 463-mile official range, 100 miles more than a BMW i5.It charges at 270 kW, 100 kW more than a Mercedes EQE.
It was developed with input from Porsche.
It has vents that open and close for extra aerodynamic efficiency, also pixel-based headlights that make patterns which can be downloaded from the App Store.
A gentle stroke of the hood opens it, revealing a "frunk" that can hold charging cables.
The test car has cameras in place of mirrors, improving the range by about three miles.
This is a rear-wheel-drive Audi.
The biggest-selling version in the UK is expected to be the rear-wheel-drive one, while Quattro is also available.
There are two charging ports on the car, one with CCS fast charging.
When the cable is pulled out, the charging flap automatically closes.
The taillights do interesting things, also available for download.
They also act as warning triangles to alert cyclists or accidents.
The boot space is 502 liters, the same as the Avante version with the seats up, but not class-leading.
A glass roof adds light and headroom.
There is some interesting material inside including aluminum, however the material at knee level doesn't feel very luxurious.
The camera-based rearview isn't recommended.
The car also has air suspension that syncs lower on the motorway.
There is an "Airbus" copyright statement on the satnav display.
There are two different battery capacities.
The standard E-tron has a 75.8-kWh pack and a 283-mile range.
Performance and Quattro models have a 94.9-kWh battery and 463 miles.
Charging time from 10 to 80% takes 21 minutes at the fastest speeds.
The rear-wheel-drive version handles better than the Quattro.
The cheaper rear-wheel drive with an extra range and charging speed is preferable over the twin motor, and four wheel versions.
