2027 Audi A6 and Q6 e-tron: Some Welcome Upgrades
As for other changes, the 2027 A6 and Q6 e-tron receive the dashcam as standard on the Premium Plus trim. That trim also offers a new Technology package that includes an augmented reality head-up display and a passenger display. The Prestige trim adds Park Assist Pro with remote functionality, rear automatic emergency braking, digital OLED taillights, and a surround-view camera. For those looking for the blackout look, the S line Black Optic package adds black accents and bi-color 20-inch alloy wheels.
The sporty S6 and SQ6 e-tron now offer the Audi Exclusive Design package. It includes Jet Gray Fine Nappa/Milano leather and Dinamica upholstery, Ocean Blue contrast stitching, and floor mats with Jet Gray stitching. Additionally, the S6 e-tron now includes a new Dynamic Plus mode. This enables the dual-motor AWD system to allow for more oversteer via precise power delivery, brake-based torque vectoring, and automatic optimization of the electronic stability control system. Plus, it allows for a more direct response to accelerator pedal movement, enabling immediate and precise reaction from the drivetrain.
On the other hand, the Prestige trim includes a new Audi Drive Select Assistant. This automatically adjusts the drive mode to suit the driving situation and the driving style. Meanwhile, an upgraded B allows the car to come to a full stop without touching the brake pedal. As a result, it can increase efficiency and improve range by recovering more kinetic energy.
Pricing for the 2026 A6 e-tron starts at around $68,000 for the base rear-drive model and goes up to over $80,000 for the S6. Meanwhile, the Q6 e-tron starts at $65,795 and tops out in the mid-$70,000 to low $80,000 range.
