Built on evolved Taycan platform, Audi A6 e-tron concept debuts at 2021 Shanghai Auto Show

The Audi A6 e-tron concept has debuted at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show. Sporting similar dimensions as the regular A6, the A6 e-tron concept is built on a dedicated EV platform called the PPE (Premium Platform Electric).

Featuring large 22-inch wheels and short overhangs, the flat cabin of the A6 e-tron and the wide coupe roof arch give the vehicle proportions reminiscent of a sports car.

Also obvious on the A6 e-tron are sleek side view cameras.

The PPE platform is a further development from the J1 platform used for the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT. It will also be the underpinning of the upcoming all-electric Porsche Macan.

According to Audi, the battery size and wheelbase of PPE vehicles are scalable, making them suitable for use in different market segments.

The J1 platform will remain as the more luxurious and sportier platform as demonstrated in the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT.
