Audi A6 Avant e-tron styling

Externally, the design follows the cues of Audi’s most recent EVs. Up front, the grille and headlights will mirror those of the A6 e-tron saloon. The central filled in grille is flanked by a huge pair of air intakes.

Things are somewhat different down the side and rear though, where you’ll find the A6 Avant e-tron looks very much like an estate – the third window between the rear doors and boot is met by a large, sloping pillar, with the tailgate topped with a spoiler.

The LED tail lights run along the entire width of the car, much like we’ve seen from sportier Audi’s in the last few years. The whole look is finished off by a large set of alloy wheels.
