Electric wagon launched

Audi has partnered with acclaimed New Zealand designer Tim Webber to celebrate the arrival of the all-new A6 Avant e-tron – the brand’s first fully electric wagon. 

To mark the launch, he has created a bespoke furniture collection – including a chair and coffee table – inspired by the EV’s “sculpted form and refined detail”.

As part of the collaboration, the first 15 A6 Avant e-tron buyers in Aotearoa will receive a limited-edition key bowl designed by Webber. 

“What strikes me about the A6 Avant e-tron is the balance it strikes between presence and subtlety,” says Webber. “It’s a beautifully sculpted vehicle, sleek and athletic, but understated in the way it carries itself. My aim was to capture that same sense of refinement and intelligence in the pieces I designed for this partnership.”

The EV introduces a “new era of progressive luxury” for Audi. Its design achieves best-in-class aerodynamics, delivering greater efficiency and an electric WLTP range of up to 650km.

“Audi has always been a design-led brand, and this partnership with Tim Webber underscores our commitment to progressive, intelligent design,” says Greg Leet, general manager of Audi NZ.

“The A6 Avant e-tron represents a new chapter for Audi in New Zealand, our first fully electric Avant. Tim’s craftsmanship beautifully complements the vision behind this vehicle.” 

The EV is available to test drive and purchase now at Audi dealerships from $144,990 excluding on-roads. Webber’s bespoke pieces are also available to buy and showcased in his Auckland showroom for a limited time.
