Audi is Setting the Electric Stage with the Launch of the Q6 e-tron: A New Era of Luxury SUVs
Audi’s introduction of the Q6 e-tron heralds a new chapter for the brand, blending luxury with cutting-edge electric technology. Poised to hit the market by the end of April, this electric SUV starts at an inviting price of £68,975, marking the beginning of Audi’s renewed vehicle lineup and its commitment to electrification.
At the heart of the Q6 e-tron lies a robust 100kWh battery, promising an impressive range of up to 381 miles on a single charge, positioning it as a leading contender in the electric mobility space. This range, coupled with the vehicle’s premium features, sets a new benchmark for what drivers can expect from electric luxury SUVs.
The Q6 e-tron stands out as the inaugural Audi vehicle built on the innovative Premium Platform Electric (PPE), co-developed with Porsche. This platform not only underscores the SUV’s performance credentials but also its efficiency and advanced electric capabilities. Occupying the same market segment as the beloved Q5, the Q6 e-tron is positioned to rival the likes of the BMW iX3 and Mercedes EQC, available exclusively as an electric model.
With a power output of 388PS, the Q6 e-tron promises exhilaration, capable of accelerating from 0-62 mph in just 5.9 seconds. For those craving even more power, the SQ6 e-tron variant delivers a whopping 517PS, with prices starting from £92,950, blending sportiness with the sustainability of electric drive.
Charging the Q6 e-tron is a breeze, thanks to its compatibility with rapid charging up to 270kW. This feature allows drivers to add up to 158 miles of range in merely 10 minutes at an 800v charging station. Moreover, the SUV introduces the novel capability of bank charging at 400-volt stations, effectively doubling the charging potential through its innovative 800-volt battery system.
Inside, the Q6 e-tron showcases Audi’s latest interior architecture and infotainment system, centered around a 14.5-inch touchscreen and Android-based software. This new setup provides a seamless and intuitive user experience, ensuring drivers and passengers alike enjoy every journey to the fullest. The vehicle also offers ample storage, with a 526-litre boot space and additional compartments, enhancing its practicality and appeal as a family SUV.
At launch, Audi will offer the Q6 e-tron Quattro and the high-performance SQ6 e-tron, both equipped with all-wheel drive. A rear-wheel-drive variant, promising even greater range, is slated to join the lineup, offering an accessible entry point into the Q6 e-tron series.
Anticipation is high as full pricing and specifications will be unveiled when the Q6 e-tron officially goes on sale on April 30. This launch is not just about a new car; it’s about setting a new standard for electric luxury SUVs, embodying Audi’s vision for a sustainable, electrified future.
