NEW Audi A6 Avant e-Tron: A Future Electric RS6? 4K

Rory gets up close and personal with the new A6 e-Tron and A6 e-Tron Avant, two concepts that tease what Audi’s next-gen electric cars will look like. Its future Performance models, the RS6 and RS7 could borrow heavily from these designs.

Audi with another timeless design, reminds me of the r8 concept in i-robot, Audi designers know what they’re doing.

[@christhompson4630]

Give it a few more years and Tesla won't have that range advantage. Li and Na based battery technology seems to be making rapid advances and corporations like VAG and Daimler have their fingers in a few pies. Na advances should hopefully make EVs affordable and Li should bring about vastly improved range. Though, even with that said, Tesla shouldn't be underestimated as a technology company even if they lose their car edge. At any rate, I agree. That Avant is looking quite tasty

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

"For the first time that I'm aware of in this category, an estate" Is the Taycan Turismo not in in this category?... Or an estate?

[@bhanupratapsingh2449]

Yes bro taycan cross turismo as well as sport turismo both are estate cars

[@itsthepens]

It’s debatable. The Taycan Turismo variants certainly offer improved cargo space over the saloon version especially as the rear seats fold down, but I would argue that the roofline on the Turismo is so aggressively sloped as to make it more of a hatchback. This is made even more so by the fact that the wheel arches encroach on the cargo space, giving you a narrow, high-lipped, low-height cargo area. Not really an estate in my book. But you could argue that it is, and in fairness the old categories of body styles are becoming so blurred now.

Well Porsche considers it as a Cross over more than an estate That's why the name is literally "Cross" Turismo
