GUANGZHOU, China: At Auto Guangzhou 2025, together with its partner FAW, Audi is bringing fully electric models based on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) to China.
The Audi A6L e-tron, the third PPE model developed for the Chinese market, recently took the stage at the autoshow (Nov 21 to 30).
It is the first all-electric sedan from the brand with the four rings in China.
In China, Audi will offer two A6L models: one with a combustion engine powertrain based on the Premium Platform Combustion (PPC) and the all-electric e-tron.
"All new models for China are tailored to the wishes of Chinese customers more than ever before, particularly regarding digital functions and advanced driver assistance systems. This is made possible through strong local development and deepened cooperation with Chinese tech partners," said the German premium automaker.
With the A6L e-tron, Audi is expanding its iconic model series on the Chinese market for the first time with an all-electric C-segment sedan.
With the A6 model line, Audi became the first international premium manufacturer to enter the Chinese market almost 40 years ago.
The Audi A6L was also the first premium model with an extended wheelbase, pioneering a body style that has since become typical for the market.
The new all-electric Audi A6L e-tron offers a China-specific infotainment system based on the E3 1.2 electronics architecture.
The wheelbase, which has been extended by 132mm, ensures ample space in the rear.
A battery with a gross capacity of 107kWh, which is larger than that of the global model, enables a range of up to 770km calculated according to CLTC.
The 800-volt technology makes short charging stops possible.
In terms of design, the China-specific model stands out, especially thanks to its distinctive front end.
The A6L e-tron is manufactured at the Audi FAW NEV Company in Changchun.
The cooperation company between Audi and FAW is responsible for the production of localized PPE models – the Q6L e-tron, Q6L Sportback e-tron, and A6L e-tron.
Series production of all three models started within a year.
