Battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. Figures for battery electric vehicles were obtained after the battery had been fully charged. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including but not limited to factory fitted options, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, road and traffic conditions, individual driving styles, vehicle load, vehicle condition, use of systems like climate control (and, for battery electric vehicles, the starting charge, age and conditions of the battery).

Figures shown are official test values for comparability purposes only compare fuel consumption, CO2 and electric range figures with other vehicles tested to the same technical procedures. All vehicles are tested according to WLTP technical procedures.

For a more in-depth look at the Audi A6 TFSI e, check out the rest of our detailed review.Range dependent on trim and optional equipment. There's not much to separate them on running costs, however – especially for company-car users. However, the BMW 5 Series is better to drive and the Mercedes E-Class feels a little plusher. While it does feel that Audi is late to the party, the A6 TFSI e is a solid contender and a good alternative to its more established rivals. Equipment is generally good across the range, but it pays to make sure you're getting everything you need on lower-spec models – Sport does without power-adjustable seats, for example. Everything you could want from an Audi is present and correct, however: sharp, sophisticated styling, an immaculately built interior and strong infotainment that uses a pair of touchscreens and a third driver's display behind the steering wheel. This means a slightly less supple ride, which – while not exactly uncomfortable – will be noticeable if you've spent time in another A6. The main difference between the TFSI e and its mild-hybrid counterparts is that there's more weight on board: the car's suspension has had to be adjusted to suit. It's not the most fun from behind the wheel, but it's as effortless and confidence-inspiring as a large Audi should be. The usual trio of drive modes allow you to make best use of the battery's charge, and when in Auto, the car does a good job of keeping the petrol engine out of the equation unless you push quite hard with your right foot. It's a refined and smooth car with a purely petrol or diesel engine fitted, so things are particularly refined when driving on electric power alone. The A6's closest rivals from Mercedes and BMW are both decent to drive, so it's encouraging that it manages to keep pace in this department. Total system output is 295bhp, while Audi claims up to 43 miles of pure-electric range is possible with that larger-than-before battery.Īs we mentioned above, company-car users will be most interested in CO2 figures and Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) ratings, so it's good news that with emissions as low as 27g/km, the car easily qualifies for the 12% BiK bracket – the same as occupied by the majority of its rivals. Power for the latter comes from a 17.1 kWh battery, which was upgraded from 14.1kWh in early 2021.

This is made up of a familiar 2.0-litre petrol engine working in conjunction with an electric motor. The A6 plug-in gets a powertrain Audi calls '50 TFSI e' under the bonnet. All these cars exist primarily to serve the company-car market, with their low CO2 emissions and potential for driving on electric power alone ensuring low Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) rates. Audi was a latecomer to the large plug-in hybrid executive-car game, with the BMW 530e, Mercedes E 300 e and Volvo S90 Recharge already well established by the time this petrol-electric A6 TFSI e turned up in 2020 – two years after the current generation of the A6 model had been introduced in petrol and diesel forms.
