The Audi Q6 e-tron is a battery electric luxury crossover SUV that has been described as both a mid-sized and a compact vehicle. It’s produced by German car manufacturer Audi, with production from an Audi plant in the city of Ingolstadt commence in November 2023. [3] It is a luxury SUV, similar to the Porsche Macan, which it also shares a platform with, as well as with the Audi A6 e-tron. As a part of Audi's goal of transitioning to a fully electric car fleet by the end of 2033.
The interior of the Q6 e-tron was revealed to the public on 4 September 2023 at the Munich Motor Show, [4] [5] with the exterior and full details was later revealed on 18 March 2024. [6]
The Q6 e-tron is the first Audi to reverse Audi's controversial double-digit numbering system omitting the number designation. The 'Performance' suffix is used for the most powerful single-motor model. [7]
For the exterior design, Sascha Hyde from Audi Exterior Design said that, "For the Audi Q6 e-tron, we wanted a perfect pure SUV with classic powerful Audi ‘Q’ proportions". The exterior has the classic Audi Singleframe grille which is closed, the first Audi to feature a split headlight design, Audi’s second-generation OLED digital light technology with 3D animation, the rear taillights can project arrows and warning triangles inside them to alert road users behind. [8] [9]
The interior features Audi's new Digital Stage panoramic display which houses the 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and 14.5-inch central infotainment touchscreen (operated by an Android Automotive based system). The panel is intended to mimic the shape of Audi's Singleframe exterior grille. There is the option of a 10.9-inch infotainment display for the front passenger with an Active Privacy Mode to eliminate driver distraction, Augmented Reality Head Up Display, and an AI-based Audi Assistant, and a dynamic LED light strip which frames the windscreen.

The Q6 e-tron has a maximum boot space of 1,529 L (54.0 cu ft) when the rear seats folded, which can be folded separately in 40:20:40 format. It is available with a frunk storage compartment of 64 L (2.3 cu ft). [11]
It is based on the Premium Platform Electric platform co-developed by Audi and Porsche, with 800‑volt technology and a maximum charging capacity of 270 kW as standard. There are charging ports on both sides (AC/DC on one side and the other side has only AC). Bank charging can be enabled if a charging station only works with 400‑volt technology, by automatically splitting the battery into half and charge at an equal voltage. [9] [12]
The coupe SUV model marketed as the Sportback was unveiled on 13 October 2024. [13] The Sportback model features a sloped roofline reduces the overall vehicle height by 38 mm (1.5 in) and the drag coefficient reduced to 0.26 compared to the regular model.
