Yeah, fully loaded is about $70000, but it has a lot more options than in the US.

 

Yea and speaking of those EU model options, I envy the rear center console buttons/controls

 

I would paraphrase that to:
Yeah, it has a lot more options than in the US, but fully loaded it's about $70,000.

As the old commercial said, "How much would YOU pay?" I like the ES enough that I just bought one, but if a fairly loaded A6 were no more money, sincerely even I'd have to look twice.

 

This is not true, at least it isn't in the Netherlands. But every country in Europe has it's own line-up with different packages.
In our country we only have the ES 300h drive-train, which is available with 6 different packages, each with it's own "fixed" options (MY 2022):
- Comfort Line (the basic package) - 56595 Euro
- Business Line (special offer for the lease market) - 55895 Euro
- Luxury Line - 62795 Euro
- Executive Line - 67895 Euro
- F SPORT Line - 70795 Euro
- President Line - 73405 Euro
The triple beam "blade scan" headlights come with the Executive Line and onwards. They cannot be ordered with the first three packages, which have Bi-LED.
The lateral dampers come with the F SPORT and President Line, and cannot be ordered with the other packages.
The only options to be choosed from additionally (except of course metallic paint) are:
- ML audio system, only available as an option with the Executive Line, but comes standard on the F SPORT and President Line
- Digital side mirrors, only available as an option on the President Line
- Premium nav with 12.3" touch screen, only available as an option on the Luxury Line, but comes standard with the Business Line, Executive Line, F SPORT and President Line.
That's all there is to choose from.

 

Thank you for that information @LexNL

The posters here tend to be predominately from North America and I always appreciate hearing how features and costs compare between different regions and/or countries. After reading your post, I feel a bit spoiled here. Your prices are very high! Anyway, thanks again for the clarification.

 

Does anybody in here know what percentage of ES350's that are annually manufactured in the Kentucky plant are only Ultra Luxury models? In other words, what are the approximate annual production numbers of the ES350 Ultra Luxury? Is it 10%, 15% or 20% of the total annual ES350 Kentucky plant production? I'm having a hard time finding this information.
