Unveiled on March 18, 2024, the Audi Q6 e‑tron launched as the brand’s trailblazing electric midsize SUV, born from the all‑new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture co‑developed with Porsche, sharing its DNA with the upcoming Macan EV . Audi’s bold stride into electrification begins with this model, ushering in next‑gen hardware and software that will underpin their future lineup. The SUV features a sealed single‑frame grille up front, split‑headlight OLED matrix lighting, and a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette—the Sportback variant optimizes airflow with a drag coefficient of just 0.26.

Its high‑tech cabin is perfectly futuristic: a 14.5″ central touchscreen fused with an 11.9″ digital driver display forms the expansive “Digital Stage” display, complemented by a privacy­‑mode 10.9″ passenger screen . An optional AR head‑up display, AI‑powered “Audi Assistant” with over 800 voice commands, ambient lighting, wireless charging, and an 830‑W Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system with 20–22 speakers elevate the in‑car experience .

With PPE’s 800‑V architecture, the Q6 e‑tron delivers fast ultra‑charging at up to 270 kW—charging from 10 to 80 percent takes just 21 minutes and 10 minutes grants approximately 255 km of range . A large 100‑kWh battery (94.9 kWh usable) powers either a dual‑motor quattro setup or the heart‑racing SQ6 version. The standard Q6 quattro generates ~387–382 PS and 800 Nm, sprinting to 100 km/h in 5.9 s with a 625 km WLTP‑claimed range; the SQ6 packs 510 PS, shaves the sprint to ~4.3–4.2 s, and still achieves ~598 km range .

Practicality is not compromised—526 L of boot space, expandable to 1,529 L with 40:20:40 split seats, plus a 64‑L frunk, ensure daily usability . Safety and convenience shine via Level‑2 ADAS, a 360° camera, heated seats, power tailgate, rear parking assist, and premium build quality with recycled materials .

Set to arrive in India by late 2025 at ~₹1.0–1.1 Cr, the Q6 positions between the Q4 and Q8 e‑tron, rivaling the EQE SUV, BMW iX, and forthcoming EVs like the Kia EV9 . With its blend of elegant design, cutting‑edge tech, scintillating performance, and unmatched charging speed, the Q6 e‑tron heralds a new electric era under Audi’s four rings.
