Check out some of our Audi A6 E-tron Trustpilot reviews...
Can a towbar be fitted to an Audi A6 e-tron?
Yes. Towbar Express can supply and fit a towbar to suitable Audi A6 e-tron models from 2025 onwards, including Sportback and Avant models where the vehicle is approved for towing. Fitting is carried out by our mobile towbar fitting engineers at your home or workplace.
What towbar options are available for the Audi A6 e-tron?
Towbar options are available for the Audi A6 e-tron, including a detachable swan neck towbar. The detachable design allows the towball neck to be removed when you're not towing, helping to maintain the original appearance of the A6 e-tron. Towbar availability should always be checked against the exact model and specification before fitting.
Which towbar is best for my Audi A6 e-tron?
A detachable swan neck is an excellent option for the Audi A6 e-tron if you want a towbar for towing or carrying compatible accessories without permanently changing the appearance of the rear of the vehicle. Once the neck is removed, the towbar is largely concealed from view. You can find out more about the different types of towbar available.
What is the towbar rated to on an Audi A6 e-tron?
The maximum towbar and vehicle towing limits depend on the exact Audi A6 e-tron model and towbar application. The vehicle's permitted towing capacity also varies by powertrain and specification, so the individual vehicle should be checked before towing. You must never exceed the lower of the vehicle or towbar limits. Find out more in our guide to maximum towing weights.
How do I check how much my Audi A6 e-tron can tow?
The best way to confirm how much your Audi A6 e-tron can tow is to check the vehicle's VIN plate. Where the vehicle has been approved for towing, the plate displays the relevant vehicle and train weight limits. Subtracting the maximum authorised mass from the maximum train weight gives the permitted trailer weight. You can find more information in our towing weight guide. If you're unsure, Towbar Express can help you check the figures for your particular A6 e-tron.
Does my Audi A6 e-tron need a bumper cut?
The bumper-cut requirement depends on the exact towbar fitted to the Audi A6 e-tron. Where a cut is required, it is made to the underside of the bumper in a concealed area so that it is not visible during normal use. The rear bumper is removed during installation and carefully refitted afterwards.
Will the bumper cut be visible on my Audi A6 e-tron?
No. Where a bumper cut is required for the Audi A6 e-tron towbar installation, it is positioned underneath the vehicle in a concealed area and is designed not to be visible once the installation is complete.
What electrics do you fit to an Audi A6 e-tron?
We fit 13-pin towing electrics to the Audi A6 e-tron. We use vehicle-specific wiring designed to communicate correctly with the vehicle's electrical systems and provide the connections required for trailer lighting and other supported 13-pin functions.
Will a towbar affect my Audi A6 e-tron's parking sensors?
With the appropriate vehicle-specific electrics and vehicle configuration, supported towing functions can manage the parking assistance systems when a trailer is connected. Choosing a detachable swan neck towbar also means the towball neck can be completely removed when you're not towing, leaving the rear of the A6 e-tron clear during everyday driving.
Is the Audi A6 e-tron towbar compatible with AL-KO stabilisers?
A suitable swan neck towbar can be used with AL-KO and Winterhoff stabiliser hitches, provided the particular A6 e-tron is approved for the caravan's towing weight and nose load. The vehicle and towbar limits should always be checked before towing.
Can you fit a towbar to my Audi A6 e-tron at home?
Yes. Towbar Express offers mobile towbar fitting, so our engineer can fit your Audi A6 e-tron towbar at your home or workplace. Appointments are available in two slots: 8am–12pm or 12pm–6pm.
