Overview
- The plug-in hybrid pairs a 2.9‑liter V6 biturbo with a 130 kW electric motor integrated into an eight‑speed gearbox for 470 kW (639 PS) and 825 Nm.
- An Audi‑developed outer‑rotor e‑motor and a new rear‑axle unit enable electromechanical torque vectoring for sharper power delivery and handling.
- The 25.9 kWh gross (22 kWh net) battery provides a stated 84–87 km electric range and AC charging up to 11 kW in about 2.5 hours, with no DC fast charging specified.

- Germany pricing starts at €106,200 for the Limousine and €107,850 for the Avant, with European orders opening in Q1 2026 and deliveries planned for summer 2026.
