New Audi A6 Plug-in Hybrid Offers Up to 69 Miles Electric Range, Starting from £56,000

Audi has introduced a new plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of its A6, available as either a saloon or an Avant estate. Both versions come with 295bhp and Audi’s quattro four-wheel drive system as standard in the UK.

This A6 PHEV joins the recently launched A5 plug-in hybrid and is one of 10 new electrified models Audi plans to release in 2025.

The hybrid system combines a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor, producing 295bhp and enabling 0–62mph acceleration in 6.0 seconds. In markets outside the UK, a more powerful version is available, delivering 362bhp and 369lb ft of torque, cutting the 0–62mph time to 5.3 seconds.

Power comes from a larger 25.9kWh battery—an upgrade from the outgoing model’s 17.9kWh unit. This gives the Avant an electric-only range of 66 miles, while the saloon can reach up to 69 miles thanks to its more aerodynamic shape.

Charging is possible at speeds of up to 11kW using AC power, and the car also supports regenerative braking. Drivers can adjust the level of energy recovery using steering-wheel-mounted paddles.

The new A6 Avant launched in March, followed by the saloon in April. Both are also available with turbocharged petrol and diesel hybrid engines. Although these internal combustion models were originally intended to be rebranded as A7s, Audi decided to keep the A6 name across the range. To differentiate them, Audi uses specific badges: TFSI (petrol), TDI (diesel), e-Hybrid (PHEV), and E-tron (fully electric).

UK pricing hasn’t been confirmed yet, but in Germany, the A6 saloon starts from €65,800 (around £55,890) and the Avant from €68,300 (around £58,014). UK orders will open in early June, with first deliveries expected in September.
