The 2027 Audi S6 Sportback e-tron gets its first major controls and software update, led by redesigned dashboard graphics and a physical steering-wheel scroll wheel that replaces the previous touch-sensitive volume control. It returns after skipping the 2026 model year, with no major changes to its motors, battery, charging hardware, or exterior styling.
About the 2027 Audi S6 Sportback e-tron
1st generation (introduced for 2025); 2027 is the first major technology update and the second US model year after no 2026 version.
Audi presents the S6 Sportback e-tron as a fast electric luxury car that also works for daily travel. Its dual-motor AWD delivers sports-car acceleration, while adaptive air suspension balances handling with ride comfort. The sloping Sportback roof hides a large rear hatch, giving it more cargo flexibility than a conventional sedan. Long driving range, 270-kW fast charging, a quiet cabin and a wide digital dashboard distinguish it from many performance-focused electric rivals.
Premium Plus pairs the full dual-motor AWD performance setup with adaptive air suspension, rapid charging, three main dashboard displays, and heated, ventilated, and massaging front sport seats. Prestige focuses more heavily on cabin technology and comfort, adding an augmented-reality head-up display, a separate passenger touchscreen, remote parking, and power soft-closing doors. Both trims produce up to 543 horsepower with launch control and have a standard forward-facing 4K dashcam.
