The Audi A6 Sportback e-tron is the second model to benefit from the new PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform. In short: 800V, a generous battery capacity (95 kWh usable) and charging powers of up to 270 kW. Beyond these figures, the German limousine (albeit a hatchback) has one more ace up the sleeve that makes it a particularly good partner for long journeys: an aerodynamic coefficient of 0.21. To get a glimpse of where things stand at the moment, the A6 Sportback is the most aerodynamic model both in the Audi lineup and the whole Volkswagen group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The German model was part of the EUROCHARGE by Schaeffler caravan, the tour that crossed the most beautiful mountain passes in the Alps. For more than 4,500 kilometers in total, we tested the A6 Sportback e-tron’s handling both on highways (filled with roadworks and whatnot; hello, Hungary! hello, Austria!) and mountain passes, at altitudes of over 2,000 m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it’s time for a full report on energy consumption, real-life range resulting from the routes we’ve taken and, of course, the charging costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid giant tables difficult to read from the first scroll, we’ve chosen to include two new elements: infographics, broken down by day (where you’ll find, for example, even info on how the altitude varied on a given day) and some conclusions we’ve drawn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • A gasoline<\/strong> car of similar power (estimated average fuel consumption 11 liters\/100 km, average price \u20ac1.8\/liter) would have generated costs of around \u20ac912<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • An equivalent diesel<\/strong> variant (estimated average fuel consumption 8 liters\/100 km, average price \u20ac1.75\/liter) would have generated costs of around \u20ac645<\/strong>.

      Important mention on the driving style:<\/strong> Throughout the entire test, the car was driven in “Normal” mode. It was driven steadily, within the speed limits, with an approach as close as possible to the legal speed limit on each road segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
