2025 Audi S6 Sportback e-tron Trims Comparison

Which 2025 S6 Sportback e-tron trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the midrange Premium Plus trim because it bolsters the S6 Sportback E-tron with numerous luxury and safety features for a reasonable price bump over the entry Premium model. The Prestige isn't that much more expensive than the Premium Plus, but there aren't any obvious standouts among the added features.

2025 S6 Sportback e-tron trim level differences

The 2025 Audi S6 Sportback E-tron is a performance-oriented variant of the A6 Sportback E-tron, which is reviewed separately. It's available in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. Dual motors provide all-wheel drive and produce a combined 496 horsepower in typical driving. In launch control mode, output is briefly boosted to 543 hp.

Every S6 Sportback E-tron is powered by a battery pack with 94.4 kWh of usable capacity, and the EPA estimates it offers up to 324 miles on a single charge. When you deplete the battery, it's capable of DC fast charging at a max of 270 kW. That should replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in just 21 minutes.

This base trim has a long list of standard features that include:

  • 20-inch alloy wheels

  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
