Audi Q6 e-tron: pricing, specification and range

Audi has confirmed pricing for the full Q6 e-tron line-up, which is available to order now.

It's Audi's latest electric SUV and the first of a renewed line-up for the brand.

Prices for the Q6 e-tron start at £59,975, although not all variants are available yet.

Initially, there's a choice of two dual motor models - the Q6 e-tron Quattro and the SQ6 e-tron - and a single motor variant known as 'Performance'.

In the Q6 e-tron Quattro, a 100kWh battery gives the car a range of 381 miles. The SQ6 e-tron has a 358-mile range.

Using the same battery, the Performance variant manages a 392-mile range.

The Performance and Quattro are available with a choice of Sport, S line or Edition 1 specification options, with the flagship S model available in Edition 1 specification.

Later in 2024, the model line-up will expand to include an entry-level variant called the Q6 SUV e-tron (£59,975). This rear-wheel drive version uses a smaller 83kWh battery pack.

The Q6 e-tron the first new Audi to be based on the brand's Premium Platform Electric (PPE), developed in partnership with Porsche.

The Q6 e-tron occupies the same segment as Audi's Q5. It will rival the BMW iX3 and Mercedes EQC, offered only as an electric model.

Power output is rated at 326PS for the Performance and 388PS for the Quattro. The SQ6 e-tron has 517PS.

Rapid charging is possible at up to 270kW, enabling up to 158 miles to be added in just 10 minutes at an 800v charging station. A charge from 10% to 80% percent will take around 21 minutes.

If a charging station works with 400-volt technology, the Audi Q6 e-tron can, for the first time, enable bank charging. The 800-volt battery is automatically divided into two batteries at equal voltage, which can then be charged in parallel with up to 150kW

Alongside its new platform, the Q6 e-tron also debuts a new interior architecture and infotainment setup for Audi. The car's driver-focused cabin features a 14.5-inch central touchscreen and Android-based software, paired with a digital instrument cluster. For passengers, there's a separate display above the glovebox.

Boot space is measured at 526 litres and practicality is enhanced with a 40:20:40 split folding rear seat and a second 64-litre storage compartment at the front of the car.

The Sport specification includes 19-inch wheels, leather upholstery, keyless entry, heating for the front and outer rear seats and steering wheel, and three-zone climate control with comfort remote preconditioning. 

S line models retain their Sport counterparts’ standard comfort suspension and combine this with 20-inch wheels. They also feature the S line styling hallmarks inside and out, including a new flat top and bottom steering wheel.

Edition 1 specification introduces sport suspension and 21-inch wheels, red painted brake calipers and a black styling pack. The standard LED headlights are upgraded to Matrix LED units incorporating redesigned daytime running lights, offering a total of up to eight active digital light signatures.

As well as the inclusion of the 10.9-inch MMI front passenger touch display, the Edition 1 equipment list also adds super sport seats in diamond-stitched Dinamica microfibre and leather combination upholstery, full electric front seat adjustment, and a front-seat massage function.

In keeping with its position as the performance flagship of the range, the SQ6 e-tron quattro features S-specific adaptive air suspension, panoramic roof, OLED taillights and S-specific exterior styling.
