Audi takes the wrap off the new A6 e-tron

ABU DHABI: Audi is putting in a lot of effort these days to revamp its lineup. The automaker is transitioning gas-powered models to odd-numbered names and assigning even numbers to its electric vehicles. The A6, a popular midsize luxury sedan, has now become an all-electric fastback with a drag coefficient of just 0.21. The new A6 Sportback e-tron is considered the most aerodynamic Audi yet and has been introduced globally in both Avant and Sportback versions.

The interior features satin silver, fabric upholstery, and gloss black finishes. A 20-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, a powered tailgate, full ADAS, a glass roof with adjustable opacity, and a 360-degree camera are the main highlights.
