Every 2027 Audi EV, ranked by US price
| Rank | Model | Audi USA MSRP (excl. destination) | With destination (Car and Driver) | Power | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Q4 e-tron / Q4 Sportback e-tron | Not announced | $52,000-$65,000 est. | 282 hp (RWD) / 335 hp (AWD) | 292-310 mi (C/D est.) |
| 2 | Q6 e-tron | $64,500 | $65,895 | 456 hp | 307-319 mi EPA (Q6 range, C/D) |
| 3 | A6 Sportback e-tron | $66,700 | $68,095 | 375 hp (RWD) | 327-348 mi EPA (C/D) |
| 4 | Q6 Sportback e-tron | $68,300 | N/A | 456 hp | Within Q6 range above |
| 5 | SQ6 e-tron | $73,200 | $74,595 | 509 hp | N/A |
| 6 | SQ6 Sportback e-tron | $75,600 | N/A | 509 hp | N/A |
| 7 | S6 Sportback e-tron | $79,600 | $80,995 | 543 hp | 326 mi EPA (C/D) |

Sources: Audi USA model pages for the Q6 e-tron family, A6 e-tron family and e-tron GT (checked October 22, 2026); Car and Driver model pages for the Q4 e-tron and e-tron GT; power figures from InsideEVs and Car and Driver. “N/A” means our sources didn’t list that figure for that trim.
About destination: For every model where we have both numbers, Car and Driver’s current price is exactly $1,395 more than Audi’s MSRP. That points to a $1,395 destination charge. It’s our calculation, since Audi’s overview pages don’t state the fee. In February, Car and Driver and InsideEVs listed prices $100 lower, including destination (for example, $65,795 for the Q6 and $67,995 for the A6). So either the destination fee or the base prices have gone up by $100 since launch.
What’s confirmed
- 2027 prices for the PPE models (Q6, SQ6, A6, S6 and the Sportback versions) are listed on Audi USA as shown above.
- Audi skipped 2026 for these cars. Audi told Car and Driver that its PPE-platform EVs, including the A6 e-tron and Q6 e-tron, skipped the 2026 model year and went straight to 2027.
- What changed: a new steering wheel with physical scroll wheels in place of some touch controls, updated software, an available integrated 4K dashcam, and a new Dynamic Plus drive mode on the S6. InsideEVs reports there were no changes to range, battery size or power.
- Charging: The Q6 and A6 charge at up to 270 kW, going from 10 to 80% in as little as 21 minutes, according to InsideEVs. The e-tron GT charges at up to 320 kW, 10 to 80% in about 18 minutes, according to Car and Driver.
- e-tron GT lineup: For 2027, the RS e-tron GT Performance is the only e-tron GT trim, according to Car and Driver. Audi USA still lists the 2026 S e-tron GT from $127,700 while stock lasts.
- The Q4 e-tron refresh is coming to the US. Audi confirmed this to Car and Driver. The update brings new screens, more efficient motors and faster charging (up to 185 kW on the Quattro model), according to C/D’s reveal story. The center screen size isn’t settled: the reveal story cites a 12.8-inch display, while C/D’s model page lists an 11.4-inch touchscreen. Wait for US spec sheets.
What’s rumored or reported
- Q4 e-tron US price: Car and Driver estimates $52,000 to $65,000 and says prices should rise only slightly from the 2026 model’s $51,895 starting price. Audi hasn’t confirmed either figure.
- Q4 e-tron range: Car and Driver projects 292 to 310 miles. The EPA hasn’t published 2027 ratings.
- Q4 timing: In April, Car and Driver said it expected US sales before the end of 2026.
- A6 e-tron range: InsideEVs cites a maximum of 395 miles with the Ultra Package. Car and Driver lists 327 to 348 miles EPA. We’ve used C/D’s EPA range in our table until Audi or the EPA confirms the higher figure for the 2027 car.
Model-by-model: what you get for the money
1. Q4 e-tron (price TBA)
This is Audi’s entry point and the one most buyers should consider first, once pricing is out. It’s a five-seat compact SUV that shares its battery and most of its underpinnings with the VW ID.4. That’s not a knock, but Car and Driver calls it “unexciting” to drive. It comes as an SUV or a Sportback, with a 77-kWh battery.
2. Q6 e-tron ($64,500)
This is the best all-around Audi EV for most families. It has dual motors and 456 hp as standard, the 800-volt platform with 270-kW charging, and up to 319 miles of EPA range per Car and Driver. It costs about $3,000 more than a BMW iX3 50 xDrive ($61,500 plus $1,350 destination, per BMW), and BMW estimates the iX3 has more range.
3. A6 Sportback e-tron ($66,700)
This is the range pick. The rear-drive A6 has a 94.4-kWh battery, 375 hp and up to 348 miles of EPA range per Car and Driver. Quattro AWD costs $2,000 more and raises output to 456 hp, according to InsideEVs.
4-6. Q6 Sportback, SQ6 and SQ6 Sportback ($68,300-$75,600)
The Sportback costs $3,800 more than the Q6 for a sleeker roof. The SQ6 adds power (509 hp) but, as Car and Driver puts it, “doesn’t add tons of performance compared to the Q6.” Unless you specifically want the S badge, the regular Q6 is the better value.
7. S6 Sportback e-tron ($79,600)
The S6 has 543 hp, the new Dynamic Plus mode and 326 miles of EPA range per Car and Driver. It’s the performance sedan for people who don’t want to pay e-tron GT money.
8. RS e-tron GT Performance ($170,500)
Audi’s halo car has 912 hp. Car and Driver tested it at 2.1 seconds to 60 mph and 280 miles on its highway range test, slightly beating the 278-mile EPA figure. It’s now the only e-tron GT, so the cheaper S version is gone once 2026 stock sells out.
How the Audi EV lineup compares with rivals
| Rival | US starting price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model Y Premium AWD | $49,990 (before fees) | tesla.com |
| Cadillac Optiq | $51,790 | Car and Driver |
| Mercedes-Benz GLC EV | $60,000 | Car and Driver |
| BMW iX3 50 xDrive | $61,500 + $1,350 | BMW |
| Porsche Macan Electric | $82,650 | Car and Driver |
| Porsche Taycan | $114,250 | Car and Driver |
Our take: Audi’s EVs aren’t the cheapest in their classes. A Q6 costs about $14,500 more than a Model Y Premium AWD, based on list prices before fees. Where Audi is strong is fast 800-volt charging and interior quality. If you’re shopping on price alone, wait for the Q4 e-tron’s US pricing. If you’re shopping right now, the Q6 e-tron and the RWD A6 Sportback e-tron are the two we’d test-drive first. For cheaper options from other brands, see our affordable EV guide.
