Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says after taking the 2026 model year off, the A6 e-tron returns for 2027 with a redesigned steering wheel that brings back Audi's scroll-wheel controllers, updates to the infotainment system aimed at improving usability, and three years of complimentary scheduled maintenance now standard across all 2027 Audis.

How it compares to its closest rivals
Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) says the A6 e-tron's power is nothing compared to what rivals like the Lucid Air and Porsche Taycan offer, but the A6 e-tron isn't about performance — it's a daily driver with good range, decent space, and several neat tech features, while Audi's own dual-motor-only S6 e-tron makes up to 543 horsepower and is worth the upgrade for buyers who can afford it.
