2024 Audi models

Audi next year will launch a new electric crossover positioned between the mid-size E-Tron and compact Q4 E-Tron. It will go by the name Q6 E-Tron, and prototypes have been out and about for more than a year (shown below).

Now we have the first spy shots of a prototype for a coupe-like version to be called the Q6 Sportback E-Tron. It will sit together with coupe-like versions of the E-Tron and Q4 E-Tron already on sale.

The Q6 E-Tron duo is being developed alongside an electric Porsche Macan that's also due next year. Underpinning them will be a new Volkswagen Group platform known as the PPE (Premium Platform Electric), and primarily developed by Audi and Porsche.

VW Group has been quiet on specs for the PPE platform but we know it will have an 800-volt electrical system, allowing for charging rates as high as 350 kilowatts. Range should also be more than 300 miles for the biggest battery.

Look for single- and twin-motor configurations to be on offer. We may also see a triple-motor configuration for range-topping grades, which in the case of the Q6 E-Tron would be an RS-badged model.

The Q6 E-Tron is expected to be revealed late this year or early next. The Q6 Sportback E-Tron should debut about six months to year after the regular crossover. Look for it to arrive as a 2024 model.

Audi has ambitious plans for EVs, as the automaker aims to have 20 in its lineup as early as 2025. It has already launched the E-Tron, E-Tron Sportback, E-Tron GT, Q4 E-Tron and Q4 Sportback E-tron, and will soon add the Q6 E-Tron duo, as well as an A6 E-Tron and updated E-Tron duo. An electric A8 replacement is also expected to be revealed in 2024 and start sales in 2025.

The automaker also announced last year that it will launch its final car equipped with an internal-combustion engine as early as 2026. This means you can expect most models in the Audi lineup to switch to electric power as they are redesigned. Stay tuned.

The Audi A6 E-Tron electric sedan is under development on some gorgeous alpine roads. This video of its testing provides a close-up look at the upcoming EV.

The production-spec A6 E-Tron has a strong resemblance to the concept for the four-door. There are small tweaks like increasing the size of the lower portion of the split headlights. The inlets in the corners are less prominent on the road-going version. The trapezoidal opening in the center of the lower fascia is bigger.

The development engineers appear to be torture testing the brakes during a portion of this video. The A6 E-Tron has its emergency lights on and is driving slowly down the mountain. Occasionally, you can hear the brakes squeal.

The similarity with the Audi A6 E-Tron concept is most noticeable when viewing the vehicles in profile. There's a sleek roofline with an arching shape that flows to a short rear deck. The specifics are hard to see because of the camouflage, but there appears to be delicate sculpting along the flanks.

This A6 E-Tron development vehicle wears placeholder taillights. The concept has full-width lamps with a pixel-like design. The rear diffuser on the production model appears to be smaller than the concept.

More Spy Shots Of The A6 E-Tron:

The A6 E-Tron rides on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform. We don't have any info yet about the production-spec powertrain. The concept has an electric motor powering each axle with a total output of 470 horsepower (350 kilowatts) and 590 pound-feet (800 Newton-meters). Audi estimates this is enough to reach 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) quicker than 4.0 seconds.

The production model's battery is also a mystery. The concept has a 100-kilowatt-hour pack offering an estimated range of over 435 miles (700 kilometers) in the WLTP test. The fast-charging system operates at up to 270 kilowatts, meaning plugging in for 10 minutes can provide up to 186 miles (300 kilometers) of range.

The A6 E-Tron should debut in production form later this year, and it would join Audi's range for the 2024 model year. A wagon version is also coming, but this one might not go on sale in the United States.
