The average consumption? 7.09 kWh per 100 km, thanks to the efficiency of the energy recovery system and excellent aerodynamics, with a CX value of 0.21. European rally champion Miko Marczyk crossed Poland using a single battery charge, earning a place in Guinness World Records. The journey began on September 11, 2026, at 1:55 a.m., following the Vistula River and passing through Kraków, Sandomierz, Warsaw, Toruń, and Grudziądz until reaching Hel on the Baltic Sea. It then returned along the same route, still in normal traffic, with multiple sections during peak hours and average temperatures of 15 °C. In the early morning hours in Grudziądz, the thermometer even read 7 °C. More than 45 hours after departure, the journey ended between Toruń and Ciechocinek, covering a total distance of 1,338 kilometers. The vehicle used had a battery with a net capacity of 94.9 kWh.
Here is the driving style and terminology used
How does one go from the claimed 774 km range for the A6 Sportback to the 1,338 km record? First and foremost, with a very patient and efficiency-focused driving style. Perfect knowledge of the vehicle and its driving characteristics, regenerative braking, and tire pressure management are crucial. There’s also a need for smooth road awareness, anticipating maneuvers while avoiding both unnecessary acceleration and sudden braking. The energy recovery system handles about 95% of decelerations through electro-hydraulic braking. At higher speeds, aerodynamics come into play—around 40% of the WLTP cycle’s fuel consumption is due to air resistance. The Audi A6 Sportback e-tron performance has an approved fuel consumption of 13.6/15.8 kWh/100 km. But it’s clear that with an experienced driver like Marczyk, one can achieve far better results.
