The all-new Audi Q6 e-tron makes its public debut today at the Audi Experience Weekend, set to run until March 2 at Audi Showroom Global City.
Showcased at the event are the progressive elements of the new Q6 e-tron, headlined by the model’s self-driving technology and a suite of intelligent features.
Awaiting guests is an immersive experience, where they can test-drive the new Q6 e-tron, as well as explore its extensive array of digital functions. They can also view a display of Audi’s advanced battery technology and charging solutions. Further making the event enjoyable is the selection of food and refreshments that will be served throughout the weekend.
The Q6 e-tron Performance leads the nameplate’s arrival in the country, and will soon be followed by other models. It brings efficiency and range to the forefront with a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive configuration.
Self-driving technology
The new Q6 e-tron has a comprehensive range of active systems that significantly improve safety on the road and in daily driving.
Most significant is the model’s adaptive cruise control. When this is activated along with the lane departure assist, the new Q6 e-tron achieves self-driving capability.
The self-driving system monitors the new Q6 e-tron’s surroundings so it automatically maintains a preset speed and the ideal distance from the vehicle in front. It reacts instantaneously if the vehicle in front slows down or stops.
In stop-and-go traffic, the self-driving system can slow the new Q6 e-tron to a standstill, and can also set it off again without driver intervention.
Supporting this are the swerve assist, front turn assist, cross traffic assist, and emergency brake assist, among others.
Parking the new Q6 e-tron Performance is also safer and more convenient, thanks to several systems that include the Drive and Park — which can autonomously slot the vehicle into a spot.
Class-leading digital features
Fitted to the cabin of the new Q6 e-tron Performance are equally advanced features. Foremost among these is the Audi Digital Stage.
The feature consists of three main screens: the 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit, 14.5-inch Audi MMI panoramic touch display, and the 10.9-inch MMI passenger touch display.
The virtual cockpit, which shows a variety of vehicle information, and the MMI panoramic display are placed on the slim, free-standing curved panel with OLED technology. This curved panel is oriented toward the driver.
The MMI panoramic display provides access to infotainment, climate, navigation, and smartphone functions. The MMI passenger display lets the front-seat occupant manage navigation and entertainment options without distracting the driver.
Above the Audi Digital Stage, projected on the windshield, is the augmented reality head-up display (AR HuD). This provides relevant information such as speed, traffic signs, assistance, and navigation symbols.
Offering more visual communication cues for the Audi Digital Stage is the dynamic interaction light (IAL).
A light strip spanning the width of the cockpit, it has three main functions, namely as a welcome greeting when the car is locked and unlocked, an additional visual safety reminder by duplicating the dynamic indicator light on the exterior, and a charging status indicator.
Advanced lighting signature
With the new Q6 e-tron Performance, Audi is not only starting a new chapter in electric mobility but also an important part of its DNA — lighting technology.
The SUV’s daytime running lights in the Matrix LED headlights plus system offer eight customizable digital light signatures, each one offering a unique pattern that enhances the aesthetics of the vehicle.
Besides personalization, the Matrix LED headlamps plus also provide adaptive illumination that does not dazzle other road users.
Providing more intelligent illumination are the LED rear lights pro.
Premium cabin experience
Thanks to the new Q6 e-tron’s Premium Platform Electric, the vehicle has a spacious interior and is very usable for daily drives, offering plenty of room for passengers and cargo.
In particular, rear-seat passengers are ensured of generous legroom, thanks to the vehicle’s floor that does not have a center tunnel. Each of the three sections of the rear seats can be folded down separately.
Behind the rear seats is an equally roomy cargo bay offering 526 liters of space. If the rear seat is folded down, the space increases to up to 1,529 liters. An additional 64 liters of storage is available in the “frunk” under the hood.
Unmistakably Audi exterior design
The new Q6 e-tron refines the e-tron range’s design language through perfect proportions. Its bodywork balances soft curves with sharp creases and edges, creating not only an interplay of light and shadow, but also evoking Audi’s legacy styling — like the iconic quattro blisters on the front and rear fenders.
The model’s upright front end, with a fully enclosed and inverted Singleframe grille, reflects Audi’s electric vehicle design language. A “mask” in high-gloss black frames the three-dimensional grille and air intakes.
Echoing the Audi e-tron GT, the new Q6 e-tron Performance exudes a powerful and sporty stance. Its short overhangs and long wheelbase reinforce its well-balanced design, while the black-accented sills and aprons highlight the location of the battery. At the rear, a continuous light strip enhances the clean, minimalist design.
Fitted with the S line exterior package, the new Q6 e-tron Performance is hallmarked by bumpers in full paint finish, grille in body color, and the Black Styling package for the roof rails and side mirrors.
Further polishing the model’s styling are the 2D-look Audi rings in black, the model designation on the B pillars, and the 20-inch wheels with a 5-arm structure design finished in gloss graphite gray.
Maximum efficiency
The new Q6 e-tron Performance uses less energy, thanks to a rear-mounted single Permanent magnet Synchronous Motor (PSM) that outputs 326 horsepower and 485 Nm of torque. The model is equipped with a 100 kWh battery, allowing it to travel up to 640 kilometers on a full charge (as WLTP-rated).
At the heart of the new Q6 e-tron Performance is Audi’s advanced 800-volt battery system designed for high efficiency and fast charging. This allows fast DC charging at up to 270 kW, enabling the battery to replenish from 10% to 80% in just 21 minutes under ideal conditions.
The new Q6 e-tron Performance’s rear-biased powertrain layout contributes to an engaging driving experience as it enhances steering precision and balance. An optimized S-sport suspension system guarantees a comfortable and controlled ride.
As Audi continues to push the boundaries of electric technology, the new Q6 e-tron represents a forward-thinking approach to efficient and dynamic electric driving.
