Audi A5 Avant and A6 Avant e-tron Launch in Brazil

Audi Expands Avant Lineup Across Brazil

On August 10, Audi Brazil announced that the Audi A5 Avant and A6 Avant e-tron are now available at dealerships nationwide. The announcement follows the A5 Avant's sold-out pre-sale and brings two distinct powertrain approaches to the Brazilian market. The A5 Avant is positioned as a combustion-powered performance wagon, while the A6 Avant e-tron introduces Audi's fully electric technology in the Avant body style. Both models combine performance-focused specifications with a technology-rich cabin, giving Brazilian customers additional options within Audi's premium wagon range and extending the brand's latest product architecture and digital technology strategy into the local market.

A5 Avant Combines Turbocharged Performance With Quattro

The A5 Avant is offered in a single S Line version powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 272 hp and 400 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted through a seven-speed S tronic transmission and quattro ultra all-wheel drive, while the model is based on Audi's Premium Platform Combustion architecture. The A5 Avant accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, giving the wagon a strong performance focus alongside its practical body configuration. Its single-version positioning also provides Brazilian buyers with a clearly specified combination of engine, transmission, drivetrain and S Line equipment without a broader range of powertrain choices.

A6 Avant e-tron Brings Long-Range Electric Technology

The A6 Avant e-tron uses Audi's Premium Platform Electric architecture and features a rear-mounted electric motor producing 367 hp and 565 Nm of torque. A 100-kWh battery provides a driving range of 440 km under the Inmetro measurement standard, while DC fast charging can increase the battery state of charge from 10% to 80% in 21 minutes at charging power of up to 270 kW. The electric wagon accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, placing strong emphasis on both performance and charging capability. The model therefore expands Brazil's premium electric vehicle offering with a high-performance, long-distance-oriented wagon.

Digital Stage And Connected Services Debut

Both models introduce Audi's Digital Stage cockpit, combining 11.9-inch digital instrumentation with a 14.5-inch central display and a 10.9-inch passenger display. The vehicles also debut the new Audi Connect digital platform in Brazil, providing more than 30 connected services through functions such as remote vehicle operations, enhanced navigation and integrated applications available through the myAudi app. The technology package gives the two Avant models a common digital experience despite their different propulsion systems. It also strengthens Audi's connected-vehicle offering in the Brazilian market by integrating vehicle functions, information and applications into a broader digital ecosystem.
