Default Audi A6 E-Tron EV

First the E-Tron GT and now this. Audi's really on a roll with its EV's.

It'll use a different platform from the E-Tron GT, but will also be shared with Porsche. Perhaps this spells the end of the ICE A6 in the next generation?

This looks way better than the EQS. Audi makes such beautiful cars.

I'd love to hear some of the excuses from the EQS thread about how this supposedly isn't a Model S competitor either.

Never thought I'd see the day where an Audi has better RWD proportions than a Mercedes equivalent.

the bumper is an aesthetic mess and the taillights scream Subaru SVX. I think this one is a swing and a miss for Audi. Too bad because I agree that Audi usually makes very beautiful cars.

(Yet another car trying to make an impression with slender headlights. If this is such a good design, which I have been saying it IS for twenty+ years, just include it on everything already!)

Most excellent design! Kinking the D-pillar is what every Audi sedan needs. Their current plain and dated greenhouse is Audi's biggest mistake for the last dozen years.
I don't even care what powers this. Just keep this body for their future sedans

to be fair, this is more of a competitor to the Model S than the EQS in likely price and size.

If I owned this, I would probably paint the front color-coded grille black.
The rest of the vehicle is okay.
The rear underside ground effects spoiler is aggressive.

Now THAT is a beautiful car. See? EVs don’t have to look like jellybeans.

Damn Audi! This looks great! Looking forward to seeing more of this.

So many EV options coming within 12-24 months. I love it.
