Audi has started pre-sales of the A6L e-tron in China, a mid to large-size luxury sedan aimed at boosting its electric vehicle (EV) sales in the world's largest auto market.
FAW-Audi, the German automaker's Chinese joint venture, announced four variants of the new model on Wednesday, with pre-sales prices ranging from 313,000 yuan ($45,340) to 443,000 yuan.
The new car is equipped with Huawei's Qiankun ADS driver assistance system, which enables point-to-point navigate-on-autopilot (NOA) in urban areas and parking assistance in complex scenarios.
Built on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) architecture, the A6L e-tron is manufactured at the facility owned by Audi FAW NEV Co, Audi's first purpose-built plant for fully electric models in China.
The vehicle adopts an 800-volt high-voltage electrical architecture and features a large 107 kWh battery pack, giving it a comprehensive range of up to 815 kilometers.
The sedan boasts a maximum charging power of 270 kW, allowing the battery to replenish 302 kilometers of range in just 10 minutes under ideal conditions.
The car features a long wheelbase of 3,076 millimeters and achieves a low drag coefficient of 0.22 through its streamlined design.
Inside the cabin, it is equipped with a massive 88-inch AR-HUD (Augmented Reality Head-Up Display) and introduces second-generation electronic exterior mirrors to enhance driving safety at night or in severe weather.
To stimulate early demand, Audi is offering presale incentives valid until May 31, 2026. These include trade-in cash subsidies of up to 32,000 yuan.
The first-edition model, limited to 888 units, will also receive equipment upgrade perks worth 45,000 yuan, and buyers can enjoy zero-interest loan plans for up to two years.
The move follows FAW-Audi's launch of the Q6L e-tron family in August 2025. That SUV, which starts at 348,800 yuan, is also equipped with Huawei technology.
