The 2026 Audi S6 Sportback e-tron is the performance version of Audi's electric executive, and it sets out to prove the storied S badge can survive the switch to electric power. Dual motors, quattro all-wheel drive, up to 543 horsepower and a 0-60 mph run of 3.7 seconds, all delivered in near silence. In this review we walk the exterior, the red-leather S sport cabin, the tech, the boot, and how it stacks up against the BMW i5 M60.

2:51 Price, Rivals & Verdict
Built on Audi's 800-volt PPE platform, the S6 e-tron pairs that pace with a genuinely usable 326 miles of EPA range on the 20-inch wheels (302 miles on the 21s) and DC fast-charging up to 270 kW. North America gets it as a Sportback only, which brings a proper hatchback boot and hidden underfloor storage the sedan rivals cannot match.
The honest catch: reviewers keep landing on the same word, laid-back. The S6 e-tron is blisteringly quick in a straight line but leans more relaxed grand tourer than razor-sharp sports sedan. If outright driver involvement is your priority, cross-shop the BMW i5 M60 (593 hp, but only around 240 to 250 miles of range) or a Porsche Taycan.
