What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the A6 Avant e-tron is quiet, comfortable and long-legged, with the range and charging speed for easy long trips. The common criticisms are rear-seat and boot space that trail the BMW i5 Touring and Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer, and an interior with more hard plastic and less quality than the BMW; Carwow found the i5 more fun to drive.
