Experience the anticipated dream of automotive enthusiasts, as Audi presents the new, all-electric A6 e-tron Avant - a fortune we once doubted would materialize.
Audi S6 e-tron Avant: A High-Performance Luxury Electric Estate
The Audi S6 e-tron Avant, a striking-looking electric estate car, is now available to order. Known for their quality, subtlety, pace, and space, Audi estate cars are a popular choice among car enthusiasts. The S6 e-tron Avant takes this a step further, blending practicality with high performance.
This electric station wagon offers strong performance and luxury typical of Audi’s S lineup. With a focus on aerodynamics, the S6 e-tron Avant boasts a sleek design that not only looks great but also increases its range.
The interior of the S6 e-tron Avant is as impressive as its exterior. It features a curved 14.5-inch high-definition OLED touchscreen display, screens in the doors instead of conventional wing mirrors, and an augmented-reality head-up display. There's even a separate 10.9-inch screen for the front passenger to control the sat-nav and audio systems.
Under the hood, the S6 e-tron Avant can travel up to 388 miles on a single charge, thanks to its hallmark Audi quattro all-wheel drive. It can go from 0 to 60mph in under four seconds, producing up to 543 horsepower. However, the battery does mean a high floor and somewhat constrained legroom for rear seat passengers.
The S6 e-tron Avant is priced at £95,805, making it a premium offering likely competing in the luxury electric segment. While exact range and price figures for the S6 e-tron Avant are not detailed in current results, they can be expected to be competitive with other high-end electric vehicles, possibly around 300+ miles of range.
Comparatively, electric estate cars (station wagons) are relatively rare. One notable used electric estate model mentioned is the MG5 EV, a popular affordable estate with a 52 kWh battery and a practical range for daily use, available around £7,850 used. It has a 7-year warranty and is praised for value, though it is more of a budget option rather than a luxury or high-performance car.
In summary, the Audi S6 e-tron Avant stands out as a high-performance luxury electric estate with expected strong range and price consistent with premium EVs, while other estate EVs like the MG5 offer practical, more affordable alternatives. Broader electric estate offerings are still quite limited compared to the expanding electric SUV and sedan markets.

On the other hand, the MG5 EV, while more of a budget option, offers practicality and is a notable example of an electric estate model available for a lower price point.
