As a full hybrid, the Audi A6 hybrid can be driven
purely electrically – and with reduced emissions –
for a certain length of time. This is made possible
by a high-performance lithium-ion battery:
something never before seen in an Audi of this
class. The lightweight and compact battery powers
purely electric driving in EV mode – in which the
Audi A6 hybrid is almost silent – for up to 3km at
60km/h. It is just as impressive when running with
the combustion engine and electric motor
combined. Another step towards an emission-
reduced future. And more proof of the progressivity
of the Audi hybrid technology.

Hybrid power electronics: independently control the flow of
energy between high-voltage battery and electric motor and
ensure the vehicle power supply. The use of the latest technologies
provides for high functionality packed in a compact design.
e-automatic air conditioning: is operated by an electric air
conditioning supercharger, independently of the engine. This
means climate control is always available – even in pure electric
mode and with the engine switched off when the vehicle is at
a standstill.
2.0 TFSI engine: has received the “Engine of the Year”* award
5 times. The Audi valvelift variable valve control system markedly
improves engine efficiency and at the same time increases its
torque. Combining this with the high torque available from the
electric motor makes for extremely dynamic acceleration.
Electric motor: combines efficiency and dynamism, and acts
as either traction motor, generator or starter depending on the
driving situation and performance requirement. It has an output
rating of 40 kW and a maximum torque of 210 Nm. The compact
and particularly lightweight electric motor is connected to the
crankshaft through a clutch. This parallel hybrid concept ensures
that the available power is transmitted directly. The result:
convincing drive-off performance and acceleration in just about
every driving situation
Fully charged with progressive ideas.
Driven by hybrid technology.
