39 Photos SUVs and utes may dominate the sales charts, but there's still life on 'old-school' types of cars – hatchbacks, sedans and station wagons. Last year 182,277 cars in one of these three body styles were reported as sold, and deliveries over the first eight months of 2024 were up 10.3 per cent in a new-car market up 6 per cent. And while established nameplates are steadily dropping out of the market – from the Volkswagen Passat to the Renault Megane – there are plenty of new models coming to Australia for hatchback and sedan buyers. Here's everything on the horizon. Skip ahead: 39 Photos Just as the petrol Audi A4 has become the A5, the German car maker's electric offering in the next size class up wears the A6 e-tron badge. The A6 e-tron shares its Premium Platform Electric (PPE) underpinnings with the new Q6 e-tron electric SUV, rated for up to 750km of driving range on a single charge – or Melbourne to Adelaide, at least in lab testing. Highlights include up to 405kW from the high-performance S6 e-tron variant – capable of 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds, the quickest variant until the RS6 e-tron arrives – plus a 21-minute 10 to 80 per cent fast charge if you can find a plug that's powerful enough. It wears styling similar to the A5 – with flush-fitting door handles and a streamlined look – plus up to three screens inside. The electric A6 e-tron is set to initially be sold alongside the petrol A6, but its replacement will adopt the A7 badge when it arrives in the next 18 months.
