Audi is changing direction with its next electric cars. The 2027 Audi A6 e-tron and 2027 Audi Q6 e-tron focus on easier controls, cleaner screens, and smarter software. These updates target daily usability, not gimmicks.
Audi Brings Back Physical Controls
Audi restores real buttons and scroll wheels on the steering wheel. Drivers no longer need to rely on touch screens for basic actions. This improves safety and reduces distraction while driving.
Cleaner Interior and Simpler Screens
The new interface borrows from the Audi Q3. The layout shows fewer icons and clearer menus. You find features faster with less visual clutter.
The digital cluster offers three display modes.
Classic round gauges
Full navigation map
Safety and sensor status view
This flexibility suits different driving needs.
Audi S6 e-tron Adds Drift Mode
The Audi S6 e-tron gains a Dynamic Plus mode. This functions as a controlled drift mode using all-wheel drive and brake control. A racing-style display adds a lap timer for track use.
For daily driving, an AI system selects the best drive mode based on throttle and braking input.
Improved Regenerative Braking
Audi upgrades the braking system across all models. The cars now slow down to a full stop using electric motors alone. This increases energy recovery and reduces brake wear.
Smarter Highway Driving Features
The new Audi driver assistance system supports signal-activated lane changes. Use the turn signal and the car handles steering once the lane is clear.
The system also reads road signs and adjusts speed. Audi vehicles share road data through the cloud. If one car detects a pothole, others receive a warning in advance.
Advanced Parking and Built-In Dashcam
The 2027 Audi Q6 e-tron stores up to five parking routines. Teach the car once and it repeats the maneuver every time.
You also park the car using your phone from outside. A factory-installed dashcam records incidents during hard braking or collisions.
ChatGPT-Powered Voice Assistant
Audi integrates ChatGPT into the voice assistant. You speak naturally without fixed commands. The system handles navigation searches, emails, and calendar tasks.
The assistant learns routines over time. Frequent actions start automatically based on your habits.
Charging Comfort and Power Nap Mode
Audi adds a Power Nap charging mode. Cabin lighting dims. Music softens. Seat massage activates during charging.
Interior space supports this feature.
Audi A6 e-tron length: 4.93 m
Audi Q6 e-tron length: 4.77 m
Experience modes adjust lighting and climate for relaxation or alertness.
Release Date and Pricing
The 2027 Audi A6 e-tron and Q6 e-tron arrive in late 2026.
Audi A6 e-tron starts at $66,700
Audi Q6 e-tron starts at $64,500
Audi refocuses on usability with its latest electric cars. Physical controls return. Software works in the background. These changes suit drivers who want smart features without losing simple, tactile interaction.
