Has Audi RUINED the new S6?

Audi has just unveiled the all-new Audi A6 and S6!

Based on Audi’s new naming convention, we already know that the A6 & S6 will be electric only! From now on, all odd-numbered Audis will come with internal combustion engines, while all those with even numbers will be electric only.

So what’s new on the all-electric A6? Let’s take a closer look.

Starting with the design, it’s clear that the new A6 is a bit chunkier than the previous edition. Up front, there’s a floating grille design flanked by large air intakes, and as has been a trademark on recent Audis, the headlights are super slim and come packed with tech. There are electric release door handles along the side of the car, and it’s also possible to get the new A6 with cameras in place of traditional door mirrors. Around the back, there’s a full-length light bar as well as a functional diffuser. The Audi logo also lights up, which is a nice touch.

Step inside and the interior is very similar to recently unveiled Audis like the Q6 & A5. There’s a huge curved display that incorporates both the driver display and infotainment screen, and there’s also a third screen for the passengers built into the dash. There are minimal physical buttons, though - pretty much everything is controlled through the infotainment screen.

When it comes to performance, there are several options. The most powerful A6 is the A6 e-tron Quattro, which has dual motors and 428hp. When it comes to the S6, it also has dual motors, but in this car they produce 503hp, rising to 551hp when in launch control. The entry-level A6 has the largest range, with the 94.9kWh able to run for up to 466 miles.

So what do you think - is this one of the most luxurious all-electric saloons or estates you can buy? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

This car looks like one of those clickbait thumbnails made in 2017 saying "this is what cars in 2050 will look like'!!

[lichh]

New cars nowadays make older generations more valuable.

If you remove the AUDI badge, this could pass as a new Renault Laguna.

From the side, the estate looks like a Ford Mondeo from 2021.

Audi “does it have to look electric?”
Also Audi “it immediately looks electric”

[jamesmeek]

So basically they just killed and pissed on the legend that is the RS6 then

[imvivalamilo]

Is it just me or have BMW, Mercedes-Benz and now Audi all lost their ways?

Side profile of both estate and saloon looks like a 2016 ford mondeo estate and saloon 😂

I’m gonna say it again - LOOK WHAT THEY’VE DONE TO MY BOY😢

[SuomiNamco]

let me guess, it weighs more than a tractor

Hey, guy from Germany here:

Yes, the Design is a big step back, especially the Saloon/Coupe. Everybody over here is noticing, that the German Car Brands are all losing their standarts - in Design and in Refinement. Meanwhile the Brands are noticing, that their biggest market is China etc (7 out of 10 new BMWs are going to China), so they are all styling and developing their cars for those markets.

Pretty sad, but well.. look at the BMW XM, its a shame and build for tasteless, superrich, non car people.

The title says Audi S6, but I see an ID7 estate 😂

"Hello, I am Mr Turtleneck Designer, aka the butcher of Ingolstadt!"

[DarkXenoGaming]

No physical buttons = no buy. I had this once in a VW GTI and I sold the car a month later, it was unbearable.

[Kristentiks]

Bro these new audi model lineups are soo dumb

[MYTH]

this looks like a GTA equivalent of the A6🤣🤣

[wrends]

you can tell that guy is more interested in yoga, chia seeds and cats than in cars!

[pocoyomc]

To me it looks like the old Ford Mondeo silhouette.

WHY ARE CAR MANUFACTURERS RUINING THEIR CAR DESIGNS?

[Cole_Con]

What is going on with this trend of splitting the headlights and DRLs! I feel like it just detracts from the looks and makes cars look less aggressive.
