Whoa, with launch control this car accelerates from 0-200 kmph in 3.9 seconds and look at the amount of muscles car
Muscle car, muscle car, what am I saying? I'm so confused
This is the new Audi A6 it has the S on the key, which means this is the S6
However, the full name of this car is the Audi S6 Sportback e-tron Quattro
This is the most aerodynamic car ever to be made by Audi because it has a CD value of just 0.21
In fact, this is the most aerodynamic car ever to exist in the whole VW group. Isn't that absolutely crazy?
Yeah, the key is a bit plasticky
This is to unlock the car, this is to lock the car and this is to open the hood
Not really, it's actually to open the boot of the vehicle. In order to open the hood
What you have to do is use a few of your fingers and swipe it like this and when you do that
The frunk actually opens
This is obviously coming from the 911 because Porsche obviously did it before
But a lot has been shared with Porsche because the platform is the P-P-P
Not the one which you used in COVID
27 litres of storage space here
This is probably to access something, maybe the battery because the sign is right there
In fact, this also opens and what is below this?
Well, I don't know what this is but this is something which is important
That's the reason it has been hidden. It says VW Audi
So yeah, VW is there on a lot of parts actually
And the VIN number is hidden here
You have to open this plastic panel
Washer fluid goes in right here
This is obviously the headlight and that's not all
There are more interesting bits like some exposed bits right here
Just below the wiper mechanism, the wiper is also quite robust here
And that is I think the chassis number probably
This is insulation which is made of thermocol
Feels a bit flimsy and cheap as well
But there's not much storage space because 27 litres frunk is a bit less
When compared to the Q6 e-tron with which it shares a lot of stuff
This obviously has a much smaller frunk capacity
That's because this car is also a lot lower
Let's close the gas struts enabled frunk
And the front is actually very different
First and foremost, you get the single piece frame
The single piece grill frame, whatever you want to call it
This Audi logo has a different treatment, it's a 2D treatment
There's a front camera here
I don't know what this is but that's specific to the S6
That is the radar for ADAS system
Obviously, you get 6 parking sensors at the front
Because it has got self-park
You get matrix LED lights which are very advanced
Which will auto-dim if there's something ahead
So yeah, it does not blind oncoming traffic
Meanwhile, the DRLs actually have 8 different patterns
Which you can obviously change from the inside
It also has this cool animation, both goodbye and welcome animations
You can see how the light is glittering
That is absolutely cool
You get this sort of a piano black finishing here
It also gets headlight washers
This is an active air curtain
Yes, aerodynamics is the name of the game
You obviously get a camera there as well as a range sensor
Because it has got level 2 ADAS
From the side, the length is almost 4.9 meters
The wheelbase happens to be almost 2.9 meters
Yes, this is a long car which is quite low down
Ground clearance is actually very less
But if you have air suspension, you can obviously raise it
In terms of tyres, there are 9 options
6 of them actually come from Audi Sport
The size of the front tyre is 245-40-21
Because it has got quattro which means 2 motors
One at the front, one at the rear
You get bigger tyres at the rear
Staggered tyre setup because the rear motor obviously has more power
The design is actually quite nice
S written on the brake caliper
In fact, you have 2 options of tyres
Either you opt for the range tyres
Which give you some extra range
Or you can opt for the performance tyres or the dynamic tyres
Which are obviously more performance centric
It says Pilot Sport EV
There is obviously a camera here
Because it gets a 360-degree parking camera
And this being the S6 has silver finished or aluminium finished mirror caps
You see these ridges, they actually create turbulence
In order to reduce the
Whistling sound
Yeah, whistling sound reduces because of that
And the door handles are also quite unique
The way the door handles have been done, extremely unique
Both the driver and co-passenger obviously have electric adjust
With 4-way lumbar adjustment
And ISOFIX child seat mount
And because this is the S6
It obviously has S branding here
With a racier seat, a sportier seat right there
The passenger gets his own display
So this happens to be a 10.9 inch one
Which obviously is off right now because I have to turn on the car
To get a high visibility jacket
For both the driver as well as the passenger
And this is a dummy because this car is not having memory seats
But you can also opt for that if you want
There are lot of optional kit in this car
The rear tyre size is obviously bigger
275, 35, 21
Massive rear tyres
I like the design of the alloy wheel
In fact, you can also opt for plastic covers here
So a plastic cover will make this car more aero-efficient
Thereby boosting the range by 6 kilometres
The difference between both the tyres
Will actually boost the range by 25 kilometres
Did I say 6 kilometres? I'm so stupid
There's so much to remember
Now I can't remember half the thing
But I meant to say that if you opt for the range tyres
25 kilometres is what the range increases
It says E-tron here
This piano black finishing telling you exactly where the battery is
And obviously it is protecting the battery
Behind they have something which is really robust
To protect the battery in terms of side collision
This is where AC charging happens
Just press this and there it opens
It should be opening like this
It opens electrically
AC charging only on the right side
You get a shark fin antenna again
Finished in gloss black
The rear is quite amazing
Because it has this welcome animation in the lights
Both welcome and goodbye animations are obviously there
In the lights because Audi believes in doing a lot of theatre
With the lights itself
Yeah every time you unlock the car
It does this nice light treatment
When you lock the car it does the nice light treatment as well
Yeah that's quite nice
In fact this is for the first time
That the Audi logo at the rear is also eliminated
It says S6 here with the rhombus
There is no other rhombus on the car
There should have been somewhere at the front or at least of the side
You see this diffuser treatment
That reduces the rear axle lift
Thereby improving the aerodynamics of the car
And reducing drag obviously
Get 6 parking sensors at the rear
This is the towing hook of the vehicle
You get a camera which actually has a spray
So that if the camera gets dirty
Well you can clean it as well
You get a rear spoiler which is very very subtle
Which is finished in gloss black obviously
No rear wiper washer because this is obviously the sportback
If you come to the rear and put your foot below
It actually opens the trunk
And it even projects something on the floor
So you know exactly where you need to do your dance
Meanwhile the boot is big at 502 litres
Now that is a big boot
And below here there is some storage space
But I have to remove this first because
The net won't let me
Wabababa
The net won't let me open it
There is actually a 12V charging socket here
In fact there is a light placement right there
And there is a strap here as well
The warning triangle has been put here
This thing opens which has a sign of the car's boot
I don't know what that is
There is a parcel shelf here
Some amount of storage below right
Yes because this car does not get a spare wheel
This seems to be the subwoofer because this car has got two subwoofers
That is the tyre mobility kit
So yeah you can repair a puncture by just
Pushing in air
And an inflator as well
Here is a towing hook
And this is to open the wheels
Which has the beautiful Audi and VW logo on it
So yeah attention to detail is crazy
And VW has to tell you every time
That it owns Audi
Power tailgate obviously
I press a button
And there it shuts
In terms of space at the rear
It is actually decent because
You can see the all black interior looks quite sporty
Here legroom seems good
Under thigh support isn't that great
Because I am sitting in a knees up position
Headroom seems to be adequate enough
There is a light here
Scooped out seat back with magazine holder
You have got heating function at the rear
And you have got climate control as well at the rear
You can adjust it from there because
It has a three zone climate control air conditioning system
With AC vents here
Here
Height adjustable seat belts
There is a hook here obviously
And there is a centre armrest as well
With twin cup holders
Centre passenger gets a head
I can press this button to recline this because
40-20-40 is the recline angle
So you can carry long items as well
I love the treatment on the seats
It's amazing
I love this Alcantara finish as well
Quite nice
I think you get memory seats at the rear or what
Because why this dummy panel here
Makes no sense actually
But it's still there
Door pockets are big enough at the rear too
But getting in and out
Is a bit of an effort because obviously
The car is super low
There is no rear sun blind here
And this is the top feature because
The front seat also gets ISOFIX child seat mount
So does the rear
And you can recline the seat like this
Rather you can fold the seat like this
And the seat is fixed
Doesn't recline
It folds like that
That's what I meant
It gets the soft close door function
So there it pushes it inside to shut it
And I think I lost the key somewhere
Where did I lose the key?
There it is
I left it inside the car only
I'm so stupid
So you don't have to slam close the door
You can just push it like this smoothly
And there it closes
The lights are super advanced because
It can communicate to other cars
To tell you if there is a hazard
So when you turn on the hazard
It has a hazard obviously
This is the rear fog light
And this particular tail light actually has
45 pixels per OLED panel
And there are 10 OLED panels
Which means there are more than 50 pixels here
The boot is not shut or what?
I don't know
It doesn't seem that it's shut
I think it is shut
Anyways
This is where DC charging happens
And this car can obviously charge very fast
So come on
Open open open
There it opens
It's a bit slow to open
And there is some insect inside
Which is running
Chal bhaag
Yeah there it is flown away
So yeah you can charge this car
Very very very fast indeed
Now it is shutting
Has this sort of a
Chrome line around the windows obviously
And the car is quite low
You have the option of steel springs
Or you can pay some money to get
Air suspension as well
Which gives you the option to raise the ride height
And hopefully air suspension comes to India
The seats are very nice and comfortable
It says S here
It gets the second generation of the digital mirrors
Wherein the camera is now placed little lower
As per customer feedback
And the screen
Let's you just touch operate it
To move the angle of the mirror
Which is amazing
Or rather the angle of the camera
Which is quite slick
The front towing hook is here
The slot is actually here
Which is kind of camouflage
It even says MMI
Audi MMI
Right here
If you are able to see it
Through the screen
Because this is acoustic glass
Which obviously reduces heat on the inside
This slots in right here
And the road pockets are actually big enough here
This is to open the boot of the vehicle
This is to open the front obviously
And I was earlier telling you that
This is where the memory seat function happens
But no
Audi has actually shifted all the light controls
Right into this particular panel
Which is touch sensitive
Not the best to operate
These are the light controls
This is to lock and unlock the vehicle
These are the controls for the mirrors
And this is for memory seats
Meanwhile this is for the child lock function
And obviously these are the power window switches
It says Bang & Olufsen
Because this car has got a 20 speaker sound system
With two amplifiers
830 watt output
And there are two speakers on each of the front headrests
Because this car has got 3D sound as well
Which is quite amazing
The seat is nice and comfortable
You can adjust it in a multitude of ways
And this is for the massage function
Meanwhile
Under the head support is never an issue
Because you can actually open and extend it
The pedals are metal
Even the dead pedal is metal here
Secret storage compartment
Which is beautifully lined here
And obviously you get the electric adjust
For the steering wheel too
Lot of beautiful materials inside this car
As soon as the door shuts
The seat is actually moving ahead
The Audi logo comes here
This obviously does a sort of a show
That heads up display is amazing
Because it has got the AR function
So it has got augmented reality
Which actually shows you ADAS functions as well
Which is quite amazing
It is one of the best I have ever seen
Wow Audi wow
You do a fab job in that regard
Let's turn on the air conditioning
Because three zone climate control air conditioning
Is an absolute chiller
Auto dimming mirror here
You get a mirror here along with the light
Same is the case there as well
It says airbag here
And that actually brings me to the glove box of the car
Because it okay
Automatically audio started
Let me turn it off from here
Because you get a physical switch
The glove box is decent size
Beautifully lined here
The quality is just amazing
Because it feels so robust and well done
But this is a bit too glossy because of which
It kind of becomes a fingerprint magnet
Thankfully we have got a cloth to just clean that
So there is some storage space here
In fact below here
The first aid kit has been kept
Because there is 5 liters of storage space inside as well
Because this is born electric obviously
There is no transmission tunnel going from here
You can do that too
This does not slide ahead and behind
Even if it slides there is no space to slide at all
So where do I keep the key
I can just keep the key like that
There are two USB-C charging sockets
There is a cigarette lighter
Audi is offering cigarette lighter in these days
And that is the reason there is also an ash tray
This is where the wireless charging happens
Yeah it is out of your sight
And Audi says it is done intentionally
So it does not distract you
Self-control is something
This is to turn on the vehicle
This is to go to drive select
And this is for the hazard lights
This is for traction control
Thankfully some physical switches there
In fact this is to get into the driver assistant menu
And this is for the parking camera
This is obviously the electric parking brake
And this is the drive selector
Below here you get twin cup holders
Yeah this is sort of a fingerprint magnet
Because this is piano black obviously
Yeah it attracts a lot of fingerprints
By the way this car has got a sort of a moonroof
This actually has a very quirky feature
Because if I press this button
I can change it
Yes it has a digital curtain of sorts
So look at this okay
When I try to shut it
It goes one by one
And it opens also one by one
So one one one one of those panels
Is actually getting transparent
So it can be changed from transparent to opaque
With this various design patterns as well
Something similar is obviously there
In the RS e-tron GT as well
Now this is obviously optional
This does not open so it is not a sunroof
But yes this brings in a lot of light and airiness
In this all black cabin
Like I was telling you this is a 10.9 inch screen
Which by the way isn't very visible to the driver
Because it's tilted more towards the driver
Obviously to the co-passenger
So I think from the driver's seat
I'm seeing so I'm like okay
Probably I can see it really nicely
Let me get out of this
Because you can do a lot of other stuff from here
So come on how do we exit
That's a bit of a problem
Come on there should be a home button somewhere
That's the reason now physical buttons
Are so important in cars
Right now I'm just trying to figure out
How do we come out of this
Yeah there it is
So you get a lot of information here
I can obviously open this particular menu
Wherein I can access almost everything
Which I can do in the center screen
From YouTube you have a lot of different functions
You can also see the state of charge here
And get into the navigation menu
Which is obviously phenomenal
This is a 14.5 inch screen
Which is quite amazing
Because firstly it is an OLED screen
It is tilted towards the driver
All the controls for the ventilation
And the heating is given here
In a small panel
And you can both heat and cool the seats
At the same time
They make some sound obviously
That's not all
To get into the AC menu
You press this button
So there are no physical controls for the AC
Which is a bit cumbersome to operate
You press this button to heat the steering wheel
So it says steering wheel heating is on
However the steering also has a button
To turn on the heating
Which is not such an important feature
For the Indian market obviously
So a lot of interesting menus here
And obviously it will have OT updates as well
So you can see the charging
There is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity
Both of which obviously work wirelessly here
There are multiple themes as well
I think you have to buy those themes
Because it says no theme is available right now
Personalize your Audi's interior by purchasing stuff
Oh you are selling me a car so expensive
And you are expecting me to purchase stuff
Not cool
Obviously it has got connected cars
So you can go through one of these multiple themes
And just make it look funky
Beautiful navigation
Look at that
The quality is just amazing
The screen is so high resolution
Finally Audi has an amazing scene
Because the old one was obviously getting quite dated
So if I get into reverse
This is the reverse parking camera
You obviously get a 360 degree view here
And you can press this to clean the rear camera as well
If I come into forward
This is actually the camera
The front camera
And it moves
So actually the software moves the camera
As if the camera doesn't move
It moves both in reverse as well as front
So that's quite cool actually
And it has also got self park function
Let's quickly come into the massage function
So there are multiple massages
Relaxing, balance and stretch as well
And you can decide the intensity of the massage
I'm just going to stop it right now
Because it's distracting me
So beautiful screen here
Now this is an 11.9 inch instrument cluster
Which doesn't have much information
To use these buttons to make changes
So this is another view
Yeah that's about it
It is not very loaded as such
So I can just go through here
Multiple information about the trip and data
And then I can come into the right side one
And then make changes there
So yeah it's not very loaded as such
It could have been more loaded for sure
Because now people are making crazy instrument clusters
Specifically Mercedes-Benz
Which does the best job in instrument clusters
The Audi logo here
Flat top treatment
Flat bottom treatment
The S logo
And buttons on the steering wheel
Which are little touch sensitive
Not the best to operate
So this is obviously for the audio system
And this is to operate the instrument cluster screen
This is for the cruise control
And you get automatic wipers
You get automatic headlights as well
I love this treatment
It's just so amazingly done
Yes the steering wheel does feel nice to hold
And if there is someone in your line of sight
Like the blind view alert
It will blink right here
Now let's come into an important aspect of this particular screen
Which means I need to get into this menu
And we come into the car menu here
Because there is something known as
One second let me just increase the brightness here
Yeah it's full bright only
Everything seems to be bright for the Audi virtual cockpit
Let's come into the lights
Okay
Because we can obviously change this
There are 8 different patterns for it
So yeah you can change it from the inside
Which is quite cool
And I accidentally hit the air conditioning switch
So air conditioning has turned on right now
This is super duper cool
Yeah Audi is always at the forefront
In terms of what all it can do
The lighting system
However the interior light is also quite amazing
Because finally we have got 64 colours here
Yeah that's right we have got 64 colours for the ambient lighting
Let me try and change that for the lines as well
So you can change it for the lines or for the surfaces as well
So that's quite nice
And you have some pre-selected ones too
So you can change them here
If you notice one thing
You can also opt to link the lights to the drive select
And what is this?
So that is the interaction light bar
If you give an indicator
Then it will show you that there on the dashboard
On the side which we have given an indicator obviously
That's not all
It also works for the ADA system
It has a welcome and goodbye animation
So all that is obviously there
In the interaction light bar at the front
In fact at the rear
These seat belt buckles also have a white light
So you know exactly where to put the seat belt
But that is not there at the front
I don't know why that is the case
But it should have been there at both the sides
There is Daniel Olsen there
Beautiful yaar
The speakers look so nice
And check this out
Okay I am going to turn off the car
I am going to open the door
As soon as I do that
The seat is obviously moving behind
I step inside
I am already inside actually
I turn on the car
The seat moves ahead
So all these little little attention to detail
Is what makes this car so good
In fact the voice assistant system
Is now paired to chat GPT
So if you ask questions which the car does not know
It is going to use chat GPT to answer it
Hey Audi
Hello
What can I do for you?
What do you think about BMW?
There are lots of nice cars
But my heart belongs to Audi
Wow
That was a good answer
So let's ask her another question
Hey Audi
How can I help you?
What do you think about Jaguar?
Jaguar is known for making really stupid advertisements
And ruining its logo
And ruining the car as well
So that's the reason why Jaguar is kind of on a down slope
But how can you kill something which is already dead?
Let me use this key to put all the windows down
Will they roll down or not?
I hope they do
Ya there they roll down obviously
The rear windows don't roll down all the way
And let me just roll them back up
Notice one thing
That the rear windows get the tinting function
Yes that is privacy glass
Not at the front
At the rear it is very much legal in most of the countries
And it gets dynamic swipe indicators
Both at the rear as well as the front too
So the lights are like really cool in this car
Meanwhile let me quickly get inside again
Because I forgot to tell you that
You can also play games
Yes the driver can also play games
Because this particular screen also has the gaming function
So let me just shut it
If I turn on the air conditioning now
You will notice something very very funky in this car
So the car is not turned on actually
Now it is turned on
Now notice one thing okay
Let's come into the fan speed here
Ya and it is going to say that seat unoccupied
That's the reason AC is not working on this seat
Because the car senses it is unoccupied
So why to turn on the AC and waste like power
Ya it's all about efficiency
Let me quickly get into this menu
And this is BB Racing wherein I can also play games
Isn't that super duper cool
By the way I can go next track and previous track from this
So physical switch is obviously such a good thing here
What does this exactly do?
It is telling me about all the ADAS systems in this car
Fatigue warning, distraction warning, warning whatever
Now it wants me to play games
So let's start driving right away
And straight away I am actually going to come into dynamic mode
Okay this has become a fingerprint magnet
Little bit of sound difference I can feel already
I am not even accelerating I can feel the sound difference
And off we go
Oh there is the sound
Ya artificial sounds obviously
So this car is underpinned by the PPE platform
Which is basically premium platform electric
Which first debuted with the Q6 e-tron
And it has a 100 kWh battery pack
That is the gross capacity of the battery
The net you end up getting is 94.9 kWh
And it has got 12 modules
Each of the modules has around 15 cells
So there are 180 prismatic cells
And the reason for less cells is
The way this whole battery has been packaged
And that's one of the major reasons why the PPE architecture
Is very sought after in the whole Audi group
Or rather in the whole VW group
Because it has been co-developed by Audi and Porsche together
First and foremost this car is heavy
It weighs more than 2 tonnes
You know what's the weight of this car
This car weighs 2175 kgs
Which is a lot
Yes that is a lot of weight
In fact the battery alone weighs 594 kgs
So that is heavy
In fact there is also
Okay let's accelerate
The fake sound coming in
So there are two battery pack options
This is obviously the bigger battery pack
Otherwise you can get the smaller 83 kWh battery pack
Which weighs just 514 kgs
Yeah that is slightly lighter because
I think two modules have been removed
So each module is like having 15 cells
So lesser cells there
In order to overtake a cyclist
I have to go into the other lane
Obviously I can whack open the throttle and completely fly
This is the S6 but in India we are going to get the A6 first
And A6 also has a lot of models
The lowest A6 e-tron is actually having the 83 kWh battery pack
And power keeps varying depending on which variant you opt for
Okay the steering is having a mind of its own
So the base variant is obviously rear wheel drive
Then there is an Audi A6 Sportback e-tron performance
That is also rear wheel drive
Yes that's right
Power increases slightly there
362 hp
Or in launch control that becomes 375 hp
So that is quite a lot because that is just going to the rear wheels
Meanwhile it also has a good amount of torque of 565 Nm
Going from 0 to 100 kmph in just 5.4 seconds
And has a top speed of 210 kmph
Then that same thing gets quattro
So it gets a front motor which adds more power
But in the S6 power is crazy
Because the rear motor remains the same
Which means you get the same 375 hp at the rear motor
The front motor is having half of that
Exactly half of that
So 187 hp
The combined is almost 550 hp
But that is with launch control
Without launch control I think 493 hp
Making the car go from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.9 seconds
That is Audi RS5 level performance in a S6 obviously
Yeah because instant torque is what you get here
Look at the way it absolutely pulls
Kind of squats down
So Audi is obviously going for a bigger rear motor
Because they want to give it a rear biased power delivery
And that's the reason the rear motor is twice the size of the front motor
That's quite the difference
In fact all the cars other than the S6
Have a top speed of 210 kmph
The S6 has a top speed of 240 kmph
And range is also very impressive
Usually the range is somewhere around 700 km
Again the range depends on what wheels do you opt for
1920s or 21s
The range also depends on whether you get the plastic covers for better aero efficiency
Or whether you opt
I mean you can configure it on the Audi website
And keep seeing the range alter accordingly
So depending on which option you opt for in terms of the wheels
The range obviously differs
Here because this has this amazing roof
Which also has the trickery of changing the colours
The weight has increased and the range of this car has also come down
So it's around 675 km
However in the real world you can expect this car to offer great mileage
Because it is extremely aerodynamic
Here I say it is heavy
Electric cars are heavy because of the weight of the battery
Almost 600 kgs being the weight of any electric car's battery
Definitely does the performance
Because an internal combustion engine definitely is a lot less in terms of weight
Ahh the regen is very strong
In fact you can see how much brake I am using right now
The transition between recuperation or regenerative braking to the mechanical braking
Is very smoothly done because they have something known as brake blending
Using that they can ensure that there is a very smooth shift between both the type of brakes
And that's the reason why it performs so well
Now the thing is I don't want the recuperation
Okay I am just going to change
Please select D to use the paddle shifter
So we are in B mode I believe
So now I am going to change this thing and turn off regen braking
Now it's not automatically slowing down the car thankfully
Otherwise the regen is quite sharp
And it can also dramatically reduce the speed of the car
Without you having to apply the brakes which is such a good thing
Thereby definitely making driving hassle free in the city
It's very smooth, very refined
Doesn't have the kickback all of a sudden
You know pushing the bike into the seat
It's very leaner sort of performance here
This is obviously the second model on PP Architecture
In fact this particular car has direct cooling of the electric motors
So that definitely helps
And you can also opt for the logo to remain in the same direction for the wheels
So yeah you can make it a fidget spinner
And that is so much like a Rolls Royce
Definitely coming from there I believe
This car has the option of playing games
In the heads up display using the paddle shifters
Because you actually play games
Isn't that super duper cool that playing games using the paddle shifters
And that's not all
It has got 84 LEDs
So this interaction bar is actually having 84 freaking LEDs
Which you can't really feel or see it but it works phenomenally well
I am going to quickly change the view
The view here is kind of weird
Because I mean it could have been done better
In terms of what the instrument cluster shows
Because the electric cars are also available in Mercedes
And Mercedes does a fantastic job in what all you can see in the instrument cluster
Charging times are actually very fast
So standard it comes with an 11 kilowatt AC charger
Which is the fastest at the moment
Because they will come up with a 22 kilowatt later
With the car or maybe that's an option you have to pay for it
This car can charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 21 minutes
Using a 270 kilowatt DC ultra fast charger
Yeah that is the fastest you can charge this car
However with the 11 kilowatt it's going to take 10 hours
Or 5 hours with a 22 kilowatt AC charger
So home charging is where you will definitely be charging this car
Because not everybody is going to go everyday to a DC charger
Which is something which is probably rarely used as such
I love the AR display ya
The way it shows me if I am going out of a lane
The way it shows me ADAS warnings with those whole animations
Just amazingly done
So like this is obviously the S6 e-tron
Which is quattro all wheel drive
It has 543 horsepower
Only with launch control otherwise 496 horsepower
I don't know why all the power is not available
Because it is obviously electric
A boost mode here would be really awesome
But I think they will have an RS6 e-tron as well
Which will have the boost mode
Which should have more than 700 horsepower for sure
Now I am speculating obviously
This car rivals the BMW i5
At least in India it is going to rival the BMW i5
But the i5 comes via the CBU route
And this is also going to come via the CBU route
Should be priced around 1 crore
However the i5 is the M60
Very powerful
601 horsepower
Audi is definitely
Not going to offer us that much power
Because obviously even this S6 e-tron is producing
Just 550 PS of power
Somewhere around that
But 855 Nm of torque
In fact the front axle is producing 275 Nm of torque
Meanwhile the rear axle is producing
580 Nm of torque
And this particular car has a
Claimed range of 675 km on a full charge
But this particular car, the one I am driving
Because of the bigger wheels, that is 646 km
So everything obviously affects
The aero efficiency of this car
And depending on the configuration
That obviously changes. They want to do rear bash power delivery
I was telling you the rear motor is obviously bigger
That's why it has got bigger tyres
With the rear wheel drive car you definitely feel
More fun
The driving bit is more fun because it's lighter
Kind of squats down from the rear
Feels slightly oversteery as well
This display is actually quite cool
If you cross a cyclist, it actually shows you a cyclist
But let's just turn this one on
Notice here when I apply brakes
It shows me how much brake I am applying
That's also quite cool
And it has got air suspension
Adaptive air suspension
But the lower variants have steel springs
The ground clearance is standard at 130 mm
Plus or minus 5 mm obviously
For the steel springs because
It's kind of lifted from the rear
And it works very nicely
With the air suspension because the ride
Definitely improves
Over speed bumps the ride is actually quite good
So ride quality is actually fantastic
If you opt for 19 inch wheels obviously it has a bigger sidewall
So the ride will be even better
Handling is also quite tight, the steering is responsive
Little bit slack in the centre position
But overall it is actually a very fun car to drive
The only thing is the sound is obviously missing
But yes it is quite responsive
Body roll is well contained and you don't really feel
The weight of this car, yeah it does weight quite a lot
But you really don't feel the weight of this car
Yeah the heft of the battery
Because it is in the centre between the wheel base
Obviously the overall I would say
Weight distribution is very nicely done here
And there is no rear wheel steering
It actually doesn't need it
Because it still manages to turn quite fast
The i5 actually has rear wheel steering which turns
Up to 2.5 degrees
This car has 4 ride heights because of the
Adaptive air suspension
So the normal ride height is obviously 130 mm
You can raise it by 20 mm
If you want to cross a big bad speed breaker
Or bad bumps or anything of that sort
You can just simply press a button, somewhere I have to find that button
I don't know where exactly it is, you can raise it by 20 mm as well
But usually the ride height is 130 mm
However it drops by 10 mm and 20 mm
Depending on the situation for better aero efficiency
So in efficiency mode
It will drop by 20 mm
So that the coefficient of drag reduces
And if you have raised the ride height
By 20 mm to 150 mm
It will automatically drop at 85 kmph
So that it becomes more aero efficient
It will drop a further 10 mm
At 120 kmph in dynamic mode
So that the car becomes even more slippery
So that's how the
Efficiency is one of the major
Focuses of this car
And it really accelerates
Very fast
And the brakes are also actually quite good
Yeah, sure footed braking
Left foot on the brake, right foot on the
Accelerator
There you go
So yeah, that doesn't feel
Very fast somehow
But yes, it reaches 100 kmph quite quickly
So guys, this is my video
Of the Audi S6 Sportback
E-Tron Quattro
It's actually one of the best electric cars in the market
Especially in this segment
Audi has done a phenomenal job
Extremely efficient, lot of technology
Good to drive, easy to drive, fun to drive
If you want speed without sound
But that sound factor is obviously missing in electric cars
I hope they also take something out of
Hyundai's book of simulated gear shifts
That would be super cool
And here, obviously, I have paddles for regen
If you notice something here
This is for the lift function, I press this, it will lift
In fact, I have also noticed that car sometimes
Automatically drops and lifts when you open the door
And close the door, so it doesn't have that
Active suspension which is there in the RS E-Tron
However, it does have some trickery
With the suspension, so that's amazing
But I think adaptive air suspension
Is limited to the higher variants or you can
Obviously pay for it in lower variants as well
If you like this video, make sure to give the thumbs up
That's the like button and also subscribe to the channel
It holds its line beautifully well
And Audi which kind of feels sporty
Meanwhile, everyone is on ATVs here
So it's time to end, buh-bye!
