About the 2025 Audi S6 Sportback e-tron
1st generation, first U.S. model year; all-new electric Sportback on the Premium Platform Electric architecture
Audi positions the S6 Sportback e-tron as a performance-focused electric luxury four-door that combines rapid, quiet acceleration with long-distance comfort and hatchback practicality. Its identity centers on rear-biased AWD, adaptive air suspension, very fast charging, a sleek aerodynamic shape, and a screen-rich cabin. Compared with conventional electric sedans, it emphasizes understated design and useful cargo access rather than overt styling, while preserving the secure road manners associated with Audi performance models.
Every trim has the same 543-hp dual-motor AWD system, adaptive air suspension, large curved displays, and a panoramic glass roof that switches between clear and shaded. Premium Plus emphasizes comfort and driving technology, while Prestige adds digital OLED taillights, selectable lighting designs, a passenger touchscreen, and soft-closing doors.
