What is it?

The Q6 e-tron is Audi's first PPE platform electric SUV, co-developed with Porsche (which shares the architecture under the Macan Electric). 800V hardware brings 270 kW DC peak charging and around a 21 minute 10 to 80 top up. Three drivetrains across two bodies, all on the 94.9 kWh usable battery: Q6 e-tron performance RWD with 625 km WLTP, Q6 e-tron quattro dual motor, and the 380 kW SQ6 e-tron flagship. MMI Digital Stage with optional passenger display, AR head up display, and 5 star ANCAP under the 2025 protocol.

The lineup runs from Q6 e-tron quattro SUV at $122,400 plus on-roads, through to SQ6 e-tron Sportback at $169,200 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.
