Audi Unveils 2027 A6/Q6 e-tron Family: Physical Buttons Return to Steering Wheel, Upgraded Features

Audi has officially released official images of six new models for 2027: the A6 Sportback e-tron, S6 Sportback e-tron, Q6 e-tron, and their Sportback variants. The vehicles will make their global debut in the second quarter of this year. Exterior design largely carries over from the current generation, with S-Line models offering a new black styling package that includes a black grille, black mirror housings, black door handles, and 20-inch wheels. Inside, the standout feature is the return of physical buttons on the multifunction steering wheel—a design inspired by the Concept C concept car. The infotainment system’s user interface has also been refined for greater simplicity and intuitiveness. Two new optional packages are introduced: Premium Plus and Prestige. The Premium Plus package adds a dashcam and Dynamic Plus driving mode, while the Prestige package includes a head-up display (HUD) and a front passenger entertainment screen. All models are built on Audi’s dedicated PPE electric vehicle platform and come equipped with a 100 kWh battery, delivering power outputs ranging from 375 to 543 horsepower.
