Audi has announced that it will unveil the new Q6 e-tron on March 18th. It is already known that the new 100% electric SUV is the half-brother of the Porsche Macan, with which it shares the Volkswagen Group’s PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform, as well as batteries, motors, and electrical systems.
Thus, the new platform allows the interior of the new SUV to be, according to the four rings brand, “generously more spacious and versatile.” For example, the interior has many storage spaces and compartments: the central console has two cup holders, a compartment for charging mobile phones, and two smartphone charging ports; and, as is characteristic of an electric car without a central transmission tunnel, there will be a more generous extra legroom in the rear than usual, which will provide greater comfort to rear seat occupants.
The trunk has a capacity of 526 liters, which can increase to a maximum of 1529 when the rear seat (foldable in a 40/20/40 ratio) is fully folded, in addition to the 64 additional liters offered by the storage space under the front hood.
In terms of powertrains, the Audi Q6 e-Tron will have two battery packs with different gross capacities (86 kWh and 100 kWh) starting with the Q6 e-tron 45, which will only have one electric motor. The lineup will include the 50 and 55 versions, which will have two motors with a combined power output of 400 hp.
The top of the range is reserved for the SQ6, whose power is expected to reach 490 hp, potentially rising to 517 hp with a boost of a few seconds. Audi has already announced that the Q6 e-tron will have a range of up to 600 km.
