Audi A6 Avant: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the A6 Avant rank in its segment?

Among the 17 grand tourers 2024–2028, the A6 Avant ranks 7th of 17 in Combined consumption (5.9 L/100, behind the Mercedes E 220 d), 4th of 11 in Tank range (1017 km, behind the Audi A6 Sedan), 9th of 17 in 0–100 km/h (7.0 s, behind the Audi A6 Sedan TFSI quattro S tronic 270 kW).

What is the range of the A6 Avant?

1017 km on a full tank (5.9 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 4th of 11 in Tank range.

How much does the A6 Avant cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Mercedes E 220 d instead?

The Mercedes E 220 d leads in Combined consumption (5.4 L/100 vs 5.9 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the A6 Avant vs Mercedes E 220 d duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
