Audi has shown the stunning A6 Avant e-tron concept. Finally - an electric car we can get onboard with
We've all heard a lot about PPE recently. Well, get used to hearing it a lot more, because Premium Platform Electric is set to underpin a whole heap of Audi EVs, from the B- to D-segment and CUV to estate, beginning from next year. It's being developed with Porsche and is designed as"an excellent technological platform" from which to"accommodate an unprecedented range of high-volume automobiles.
Long, wide and low, with big, broad, Quattro-esque arches, this e-tron carries off the neat trick of looking both familiar and futuristic. It's recognisably an estate car , albeit with cues and details that make it look more modern than any other -included, arguably.
There's more to be encouraged by underneath, too. The PPE architecture, first shown in the A6 e-tron saloon concept last year, packs a punch when it comes to capacity and charging. There's 800-volt charging tech, like the e-tron GT, meaning the 100kWh battery can be charged at up to 270kW. And while that might still take some getting used to for those of us dividing the litres we've put in by 4.
That will be from the single motor, rear-drive car, most likely; this A6 Avant e-tron is the 469hp, 590lb ft, dual motor car, with adaptive air suspension and electric quattro to deliver"all-wheel drive on demand and achieve a perfect balance between driving dynamics and energy efficiency." It ought to hit 62mph in less than four seconds, and even that single motor eco warrior, when it comes, should do the sprint in less than seven.
