The 2025 updates expand the driver-assistance suite:
-
Automatic lane changes triggered by turn signals
-
Traffic-sign recognition with adaptive speed adjustment
-
Upgraded Park Assist Pro with reverse assist and maneuvering

“Trained parking” feature to store and repeat parking routines
These enhancements improve both convenience and safety, aligning with Audi’s vision for a semi-autonomous and user-friendly driving experience.
Interior and Connectivity Upgrades
Audi has refreshed the digital interface and controls, including new steering-wheel controls, an intuitive user interface, and deeper smartphone integration, enhancing the overall cockpit experience for drivers and passengers.
Implications for Owners
The upgrades ensure that existing and new owners of A6 e-tron and Q6 e-tron benefit from enhanced safety, energy efficiency, and driving comfort. Audi’s approach highlights the brand’s strategy of software-driven improvements to extend vehicle capabilities without the need for full model redesigns.
The 2025 updates reinforce Audi’s leadership in the premium EV segment, offering customers smarter, safer, and more efficient electric vehicles in line with modern mobility trends.
