The automotive world is buzzing with excitement as Audi unveils its latest creation—the 2025 Audi Q6 E-Tron. This all-new electric midsize luxury SUV represents more than just a vehicle; it embodies Audi’s commitment to progress and leadership through technology. Let’s dive into the details of this electrifying addition to the Audi lineup.
The Birth of the Q6 E-Tron
Developing the Q6 E-Tron wasn’t a walk in the park. Audi collaborated with Porsche to create the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), a scalable architecture specifically designed for electric vehicles (EVs). This platform promises sophisticated software, making future vehicles even more digital and easier to update. However, developing their own software posed challenges, as multiple automakers have discovered. But Audi persevered, and the Q6 E-Tron is the first fruit of their labor.
Global Reveal and Delivery Timings
The Q6 E-Tron made its global debut recently, and European customers can already place their orders for summer deliveries. North American buyers will have to wait until fall to reserve their Q6 E-Tron Quattro or SQ6 E-Tron, with deliveries scheduled for Decembe. The anticipation is palpable, and Audi enthusiasts are eager to experience this groundbreaking EV firsthand.
Design and Features
The Q6 E-Tron boasts a midsize SUV profile with a long wheelbase, short overhangs, and deep sculpted sides. Audi pays homage to its rally-car heritage with the signature “Quattro blisters”—sharp creases on all four corners. Up front, wraparound digital daytime running lights replace the traditional grille, emphasizing the electric nature of this SUV. The rear features wraparound taillights and a continuous light strip, while the sides proudly declare, “This is the battery.”
Inside, the Q6 E-Tron offers an all-new digital cockpit with a sea of screens. Audi’s commitment to in-house power systems and 800-volt technology ensures faster charging times, making the Q6 E-Tron a practical choice for daily driving.
Battery Options
In the U.S., all Q6 E-Tron models come equipped with the larger 100-kW battery. European buyers can choose between the larger battery or a more efficient 83-kW version. And stay tuned—the Sportback variant with a sleeker roofline and the high-performance RS model are on the horizon.
