If we measured EV updates on their “coolness quotient,” Audi’s newly revised 2027 A6 Sportback e-tron and Q6 e-tron lineups would probably top the chart. The automaker has released what I’d say are a bunch of lifestyle upgrades that make the cabin as entertaining and intuitive as it is practically possible.
Both the 2027 A6 Sportback e-tron and Q6 e-tron get a redesigned Audi Digital Stage (the combination of infotainment screen and instrument panel) with improved graphics, fewer menu lists, and intuitive visual tiles. You can also mirror the navigation or media into the virtual cockpit.
A tech refresh that feels like a lifestyle upgrade
The physical scroll wheel, a fan-favorite feature, is back on the steering wheel, letting you control volume and navigate menus. For co-drivers, the front passenger screen now supports independent media playback via Bluetooth headphones.
And if you don’t get the chance to handle the wheel for long, you can connect gaming controllers (via Bluetooth) and race your way in video games with Active Privacy Mode enabled so that it doesn’t distract the driver. Audi also adds new massage seat modes to enhance comfort.
To elevate the overall experience, the cars now come with ambient “experience worlds” that sync lighting, sound, and climate control for programmed durations. There’s also a Power Nap feature that creates a calm, reclined cabin vibe when you stop for a short charging break.
Reverse Assist, Trained Parking, and ambient Experience Worlds
To assist with driving, the cars now get a Reverse Assist feature that automatically reverses up to 150 feet, a Trained Parking feature that enables autonomous parking in up to five regular parking spots, and more powerful regenerative braking that brings the car to a standstill without applying friction brakes.
You can now get an optional 4K dashcam integrated into the base of the rear-view mirror, and a Dynamic Plus that prioritizes raw performance over stability systems (to a limited extent) for times when you’re on your way to a track session. If some of these features sound familiar, that’s because they’re already available on the 2026 Audi A5 and Q5 models.
The 2027 Audi A6 Sportback e-tron starts from $66,700 for the standard model, while the 2027 Audi Q6 e-Tron starts from $64,500. These are the entry prices for the core-electric sedans and SUVs; higher trims are more expensive. Both the lineups will arrive at Audi dealerships “in the second quarter of 2026.”
