2027 Audi A6 e-tron2027 Ferrari Luce

Safety

The Luce has a standard front seat center airbag, which deploys between the driver and front passenger, protecting them from injuries caused by striking each other in serious side impacts. The A6 e-tron doesn’t offer front seat center airbags.

To provide maximum traction and stability on all roads, Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive is standard on the Luce. But it costs extra on the A6 e-tron.

The Ferrari Luce’s 360 degree parking monitor is equipped with washers for its front and rear cameras, ensuring crystal-clear visibility in any weather condition. Conversely, the Audi A6 e-tron only offers a rear camera washer, which may not provide the same level of all-weather performance.

Both the Luce and the A6 e-tron have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front and rear side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, post-collision automatic braking systems, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

Warranty

The Luce comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The A6 e-tron’s 50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the Luce for 4 years and unlimited miles longer than Audi pays for maintenance for the A6 e-tron (7/unlimited vs. 3/30,000).

Engine

The Luce’s electric motors produces 660 more horsepower (1035 vs. 375) and 302 lbs.-ft. more torque (730 vs. 428) than the A6 e-tron’s standard electric motor. The Luce’s electric motors produces 579 more horsepower (1035 vs. 456) and 99 lbs.-ft. more torque (730 vs. 631) than the A6 e-tron Quattro’s standard electric motors.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the Luce’s brake rotors are larger than those on the A6 e-tron:

Luce

A6 e-tron

Front Rotors

15.4 inches

13.8 inches

Rear Rotors

14.6 inches

13.8 inches

The Luce has standard heat-treated ceramic brake rotors, which last ten to twenty times as long as conventional cast iron rotors, don’t rust, don’t fade during repeated high speed braking, and their lighter weight contribute to better braking, handling and acceleration. The A6 e-tron doesn’t offer ceramic brake rotors.

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Luce has larger tires than the A6 e-tron (F:265/35R23 & R:315/30R24 vs. F:225/55R19 & R:245/50R19). The Luce’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the A6 e-tron (F:265/35R23 & R:315/30R24 vs. F:235/45R20 & R:265/40R20).

The Luce’s 265/35R23 front and 315/30R24 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the A6 e-tron’s 55 series front and 50 series rear tires. The Luce’s tires are lower profile than the A6 e-tron’s 45 series front and 40 series rear tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Luce has standard 23-inch front and 24-inch rear wheels. Smaller 19-inch wheels are standard on the A6 e-tron. The A6 e-tron’s largest wheels are only 20-inches.

Suspension and Handling

The Luce offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Audi doesn’t offer an active suspension on the A6 e-tron.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Luce is 1.4 inches wider in the front and 2.8 inches wider in the rear than on the A6 e-tron.

For better maneuverability, the Luce’s turning circle is 3.6 feet tighter than the A6 e-tron’s (36.8 feet vs. 40.4 feet).

Chassis

The Luce uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The A6 e-tron doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Passenger Space

For enhanced passenger comfort on long trips the Luce’s rear seats recline. The A6 e-tron’s rear seats don’t recline.

Cargo Capacity

Pressing a button automatically lowers or raises the Luce’s rear seats, to make changing between cargo and passengers easier. The A6 e-tron doesn’t offer automatic folding seats.

Ergonomics

Unlike the driver-only memory seat and mirrors in the A6 e-tron, the Luce has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position, outside mirror angle, climate settings and radio stations and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

Heated windshield washer fluid is standard on the Luce to defrost the washer nozzles and quickly clear ice and frost from the windshield without scraping. The A6 e-tron doesn’t offer heated windshield washer fluid.

The Luce has standard front air conditioned seats and offers them optionally in the rear. This keeps the passengers comfortable and takes the sting out of hot seats in summer. The A6 e-tron doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats in the rear.

The Luce offers optional massaging front and rear seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the A6 e-tron.

The Luce is equipped with both FM and AM stereo radios, offering access to more content and better coverage than the A6 e-tron, which solely provides FM radio. With AM radio, you can enjoy a wider variety of stations featuring news, talk shows, sports commentary, native language programing, automated traffic guidance, and emergency broadcasts. AM waves travel further and penetrate buildings and obstacles more effectively than FM signals, especially at night. Having both FM and AM stereo radios the Luce offers a more comprehensive listening experience compared to only FM in the A6 e-tron.

HD Radio boasts several benefits over conventional radio: superior sound quality with clearer and consistent FM broadcasts, CD-quality audio, and Multicast Channels offering up to four streams from a single station, adding programming choices. Cars like the Luce equipped with HD Radio provide an improved in-car entertainment experience. The A6 e-tron, devoid of this technology, foregoes these benefits. Selecting the Ferrari Luce empowers drivers to enjoy a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience while on the go.

The Luce has a 115-volt a/c outlet in the cargo area, allowing you to recharge a laptop or run small household appliances without special adapters that can break or get misplaced. The A6 e-tron doesn’t offer a house-current electrical outlet.
