Record summary
What to know first
The S6 e-tron is the performance variant of the A6 e-tron liftback: dual-motor Quattro AWD produces 496 hp (543 hp with launch control), 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds and an EPA-estimated 326-mile range on 800-volt architecture supporting up to 270-kW DC fast charging.
Model-year note
The base Premium trim offered on the standard A6 e-tron is not offered on the S6 e-tron: Premium Plus is the entry point for this performance variant, so the A6 e-tron's three-trim structure does not apply to the S6.
