Audi’s EVs have earned high marks for performance and driving experience, but they’ve never been ranked among the longest-range models on the market. The 2025 A6 Sportback E-Tron bucks that trend, arriving in the U.S. with up to 392 miles of range, making it the longest-range vehicle in Audi’s North American catalog.

While it shares much of its underlying engineering with the Q6 E-Tron, the A6 variant beats its crossover counterpart’s range by more than 70 miles. That improvement comes thanks to a 100 kWh battery that can charge from 10 to 80 percent in 21 minutes on a DC fast charger and an 800-volt electrical architecture.

The entry-level A6 E-Tron features one electric motor making 375 horsepower, but the dual-motor variant offers 465 horsepower and a 4.3-second 0-60 mph time. Audi also offers a surprisingly generous number of tech features, including app-based remote services (remote start, etc.), navigation, online radio, and more. An electrochromic panoramic glass roof is also standard.

The base Premium trim has a $67,195 starting price after destination. The top Prestige trim costs $73,495, but the base Premium is the most efficient of the bunch. While Audi offers a wagon body style in Europe, the A6 E-Tron arrives in North America exclusively in Sportback form. It’s expected to go on sale this summer.

Peeryog Everytime I see one I am reminded of the current Santa Fe. And vice versa.
Original Guy I watched that Moscow parade thing. (With the Cyrillic captions because my Russian is a little rough.) I won't give the whole thing away, but it started off with a couple of dudes riding around in stupid useless convertibles, standing up like Hitler, who I'm pretty sure was an actual Nazi. They drove around in circles and kept stopping to ask if anyone had seen all the missing military equipment, and all the guys kept moaning back, that no, they hadn't, ask the next section of guys.They looked around for someone shorter and sicker-looking than Putin but they were unsuccessful so they let him speak.The North Korean military was there, I guess the invasion has begun. The North Korean guys were skinny but their rifles were nicely polished, I guess they have plenty of time on their hands between meals.Some of the Russian military guys carried little white flags, I assume they keep those handy in case they run across any U.S. Marines.
Marc J Rauch EBFlexing on ur mom - Ethanol is compatible with more types of rubber, plastic, and metal than gasoline and aromatics. This means that ethanol is less corrosive. The bottom line is that long before ethanol could have any damaging effect on any engine component, gasoline and aromatics would have already damaged the components. And the addition of ethanol doesn't exacerbate the problems caused by gasoline and aromatics; it actually helps mitigate them.
Original Guy Today I learned that a reverse brake bleeder (and a long borescope) can be helpful if you are autistic and don't have any friends and no one wants to work with you to bleed your brakes. Also it is quick, once you figure out the process.When Canada assembled my truck back in circa 1995, they apparently used a different clip to attach the brake pedal (and switch) to the brake booster than what is technically called for. It is tough to realize this when the spring steel clip flies off to who knows where. Of course I ordered the wrong clip trying to match the style that I saw buried up in the dash before it flew away. My truck now has the 'correct' clip, everyone can relax.I ordered some more brake fluid (DOT 3, nothing fancy) but it turns out I still have two fresh bottles (my shelves aren't empty, I just have too many shelves).Went to install my fancy new Optima YellowTop battery and it turns out I need a new side post terminal bolt. (Yet another order placed, bring on THE TARIFFS.) It would be a shame to strip out the threads on a nice new battery, no?Good news: The longer it takes me to get my truck started again, the more I save on fuel. 😁
