Audi’s technology designed specifically for local needsAudi officially unveiled the Audi A6L e-tron at Auto Guangzhou 2025. Marking the first fully electric model within the popular A6L series. The automaker described the reveal as a significant expansion of its premium lineup, stating that “with the Audi A6L e-tron, Audi is expanding its iconic model series on the Chinese market for the first time with a fully electric C-segment sedan.”
Built on the advanced Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the model is explicitly tailored to the needs and preferences of China’s rapidly growing electric-vehicle segment. Its launch underscores Audi’s intensified commitment to localizing and electrifying its portfolio in the world’s largest EV market.
Designed for Space, Comfort, and Long-Distance Travel
A defining characteristic of the Audi A6L e-tron is its extended wheelbase. At 132 mm longer than traditional versions, the added length enhances rear-seat comfort and interior spaciousness, an essential feature for Chinese luxury car buyers.
The vehicle features a 107 kWh battery, giving it an impressive 770-kilometre range under the CLTC test cycle. Audi emphasizes that this long-distance capability positions the A6L e-tron as a practical option for both daily commuting and long-haul journeys.
To support China’s fast-growing charging infrastructure, the vehicle incorporates an 800-volt architecture, allowing significantly shorter charging times. The model will be produced at the Audi FAW NEV Company facility in Changchun, further supporting local demand with local manufacturing.
China-Focused Technology and Engineering
Inside the cabin, the A6L e-tron features digital technologies explicitly engineered for Chinese consumers. Audi equips the model with the E³ 1.2 electronic architecture. This enables a new generation of infotainment and driver assistance features optimized for China’s unique driving environment.
Audi notes that the A6L e-tron is the “third PPE model developed for the Chinese market,” reflecting its long-term strategy to build EVs that go beyond simple adaptations of global models. Instead, the company integrates China-specific engineering, software, and comfort requirements into the vehicle’s design.
Strengthening Audi’s Strategic Roadmap in China
Executives highlighted the strategic weight of this launch. CEO Gernot Döllner said, “The largest model initiative in our company’s history is gaining momentum.” He emphasized Audi’s renewed commitment to the Chinese market through focused electrification and expanded production capabilities.
Audi China President Johannes Roscheck added that “our approach – dual brands, two powertrains, and integrating local innovation – is already delivering results,” validating the company’s localized development strategy.
A Flagship Step Toward Audi’s Electric Future
Buyers in China get long-range electric performance and spacious comfort from the Audi A6L e-tron. They also benefit from technology designed specifically for local needs by Audi. The launch does more than introduce one new model. It shows how Audi is accelerating the development of its next generation of China-focused EVs. As Audi prepares to announce availability and pricing, the A6L e-tron clearly signals the direction of the brand’s electric future.
