Audi presents the e-tron Concept as an Avant
At the 2022 annual press conference, the Volkswagen subsidiary presents the next model of its future electrically driven A6 model series as an Avant. This follows the Audi A6 Sportback with E-drive shown at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2021. The near-production Concept Car A6 Avant e-tron, according to reports, is based on the future PPE platform developed under Audi's aegis. The 4.96-meter long, 1.96-meter wide, and 1.44-meter high body positions itself towards the upper class. The design is intended as a consistent further development of the current design language, featuring significant e-tron elements such as the closed single-frame front and the continuous light strip at the rear typical of Audi's e-tron fleet. The "Concept" is meant to be more than just a design exercise: the lines and proportions clearly point to the upcoming production model.
"With the Audi A6 Avant e-tron concept, we are giving a very concrete preview of future production models of our new PPE technology platform. In doing so, we not only electrify the 45-year success story of the Avant, but we also intend to set an exclamation point with technology. This includes, among other things, powerful 800-volt technology, 270 kW charging power, and a WLTP range of up to 700 kilometers," says Oliver Hoffmann, Audi Board Member for Technical Development, unequivocally.
The PPE technology thus allows charging times that approach those of a traditional fuel stop in combustion-engine automobiles. Just ten minutes are enough to take on board sufficient drive energy for more than 300 kilometers of driving distance. And in less than 25 minutes, the charge level of the 100 kWh battery of the Audi A6 Avant e-tron concept can be brought from five to 80 percent. Depending on the drive and model variant, an Audi A6 e-tron should be able to achieve a range of up to 700 kilometers (according to WLTP standard), with the top model sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in less than four seconds. The basis for the high range is a drag coefficient (cW value) of just 0.22 for the Sportback, with the Avant's wide-spanned roofline only increasing the cW value by 0.02 units.
Flat Battery with 100 kWh
A central element of the future, purely electrically based PPE fleet is a battery module between the axles that also accommodates around 100 kWh of energy in the Avant version. The utilization of the entire vehicle base makes a relatively flat layout possible for the battery. The size of the battery and the wheelbase of PPE vehicles are scalable, allowing for their use in different market segments. In any case, the relationship between the relatively long wheelbase and very short overhangs is consistent, which should benefit the space available for the vehicle occupants, providing a lot of interior length and legroom in both seating rows. Additionally, the absence of a driveshaft tunnel, which is a result of the design, increases space comfort.
Quattro is Mandatory - but so is Eco!
Also obligatory for the brand is a Quattro: The versions with an electric motor on both the front and rear axles should realize the all-wheel drive demand-oriented and balanced between driving dynamics and economy through electronic coordination. More exciting for energy savers is the base variant, optimized for minimal consumption and maximum range, with an electric motor on the rear axle. The two electric motors of the Audi A6 Avant e-tron concept mobilize a total output of 350 kW and 800 Newton meters of torque. The front wheels are connected via a 5-link axle specifically optimized for electric vehicles. At the rear, there is a multi-link axle. The concept vehicle features the Audi air suspension, an air suspension system with adaptive dampers. Thanks to the high torque available right from the first rotation, even the entry-level variants are expected to accelerate to 100 km/h in less than seven seconds.
The Beginning of an Electric Series
In 2018, the first production Audi with electric drive debuted. Following the SUVs Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback, the sporty e-tron GT quattro was launched in February 2021, based on a new technology platform developed jointly with Porsche AG. Two months later, the Audi Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron debuted – two highly distinctive SUVs in the compact segment with a common technical basis: the so-called MEB of the Volkswagen Group. The concept vehicles Audi A6 e-tron Sportback and Avant are now the first representatives of a vehicle family – initially in the C-segment and later also in the B- and D-segments, announced the manufacturer.Since 1968 – initially known as the Audi 100 until 1994 – the family has represented the brand in one of the world's highest-volume segments. Since 1977, the Avant models have been part of the series – a revolutionary, highly emotional reinterpretation of the station wagon category.
