Audi A6 Avant e-tron concept - Unmistakably e-tron - the design

Its dimensions classify the Audi A6 Avant e-tron concept as a representative of the upscale segment - 4.96 meters long, 1.96 meters wide and 1. A height of 44 meters corresponds to the current representatives of the Audi A6/A7 series. And even the first glance reveals: Sporty proportions and elegant lines with the brand-typical Avant rear indicate the creation in the wind tunnel. The electrically powered Audi A6 e-tron concept family is now writing a new chapter in this success story and proves once again that form and function are always perfectly synthesized in the brand. A drag coefficient of just 0.22 for the Sportback is exemplary in the electrically powered C segment. In the Avant with a wide roof line, the drag coefficient is only 0.02 units higher. Low air resistance initially means lower energy consumption and thus an improvement in range. At the same time, fine-tuning in the wind tunnel again results in an organic design with a maximum of elegance and harmony in the details. Large 22-inch wheels and short overhangs, the flat cabin and the dynamic roof arch of the Avant determine the significantly sporty proportions. The absence of hard edges ensures smooth transitions between convex and concave surfaces in the body, and soft shadow gradients. Especially when viewed from the side, the Audi A6 e-tron concept looks monolithic, as if it were made of one piece. A typical Audi Avant feature is the gently sloping roof arch with a sloping D-pillar – this grows deliberately slender out of the stable base of the rear of the vehicle. The striking quattro wheel arches effectively emphasize the width of the body and are also organically integrated into the side surfaces
