Ironically for Audi, the excellence of this A6 e-hybrid provides a pretty compelling reason not to choose Ingolstadt's similarly sized all-electric model in the segment, the A6 e-tron. There really can't be that many occasions when you need to go further than the 65 miles between charges this e-hybrid model allows for. And when you do, the default is a relatively frugal four cylinder 2.0-litre petrol unit, rather than (as would be the case with the e-tron) the potential of an inconvenient stop and a potential queue at a DC charging station.
True, a rival Mercedes E300 e PHEV would take you slightly further than this Audi between charges. But one of those would cost you more - and perhaps deliver a company car park statement you don't want to make. Both cars though, we think, might be more comfortable ownership propositions than their EV counterparts. But would a cheaper, simpler diesel variant in either case be a better choice? Only you and your accountant can decide.
