The Q6 e-tron is available in SUV and coupe-style Sportback body styles, and both come with a 100-kWh battery (94.4 kWh net). Single-motor RWD trims put out 322 horsepower, and the dual-motor Quattro trims, 456 hp. Range maxes out at 321 miles.AdvertisementAdvertisementWith a maximum DC charging rate of 260-270 kW, the battery can be replenished from 10-80% in 21-22 minutes. With competitive numbers such as these, and a premium design, this new compact electric crossover is ideal for more affluent families looking to make a low-drama electric leap.What's New for 2025?The 2025 Q6 e-tron is all-new as the first Audi on the PPE platform co-developed with Porsche. PPE comes with an 800-volt electrical architecture that allows for 270-kW DC fast charging. An SUV and a Sportback body style are on offer, with a separately reviewed 509-hp SQ6 e-tron at the top of the range. Both body styles get the same interior with an 11.9-inch digital gauge cluster and a 14.5-inch touchscreen with a redesigned MMI infotainment system and an optional 10.9-inch passenger touchscreen. A B&O 3D audio system and augmented-reality head-up display are now available for the first time.ExteriorThe Q6 e-tron has fairly conventional SUV styling with defined arch blisters and strategically placed character lines, so it's not some amorphous blob. The Sportback is decidedly more rakish and slope-backed. A blanked-off and color-matched Audi Singleframe grille sits between Matrix LED headlights, while the OLED taillights can display selectable signatures. Standard 19-inch wheels can be upgraded to 20s. The S Line Black Optic package adds black mirrors, aggressive bumpers, and anthracite Audi rings.2025-2027 Audi Q6 e-tron SUV in Plasma BlueAudiView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe cabin is also a generational leap, with Audi's new curved "digital stage" comprising an 11.9-inch Virtual Cockpit digital gauge cluster and a 14.5-inch MMI touchscreen (a 10.9-inch passenger touchscreen is optional). Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a 10-speaker audio system are standard as well.AdvertisementAdvertisementPremium materials include brushed aluminum and birchwood inlays, with high-quality leatherette on the seats, but real leather is available. Heated power front seats are standard, along with adaptive cruise control and tri-zone climate control. Rear legroom is 37.4 inches, but the Sportback's 37 inches of rear headroom is 1.4 inches lower than the SUV's due to the sloping roofline. Trunk volume of 26.1 cu-ft is similarly 4.1 cu-ft lower. There's a small frunk.APrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron's price list kicks off at $63,800 and spans Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trims; Premium Plus delivers the strongest mix of luxury content for the money.TrimPriceBase trimPremium (RWD)$63,800Top trimPrestige quattro$72,600Best valuePremium Plus$68,600Key SpecsPowertrain and BatteryConfigurationHPTorqueDrivetrainBatterySingle motor (RWD)322 hp413 lb-ftRear-wheel drive100 kWh (94.4 kWh usable)Dual motor quattro456 hp605 lb-ftAll-wheel drive100 kWh (94.4 kWh usable)Fuel Economy (MPGe)ConfigurationCityHighwayCombinedRangeQ6 e-tron (RWD, 19″)11296104 MPGe321 miQ6 e-tron quattro (19″)10693100 MPGe310 miQ6 e-tron quattro (20″)1038896 MPGe298 miWarrantyAudi backs the Q6 e-tron with one of the more generous coverage packages in the luxury EV segment.CoverageTermBasic4 years / 50,000 milesPowertrain4 years / 50,000 milesBattery8 years / 100,000 milesComplimentary MaintenanceNot includedRoadside Assistance4 years / unlimited milesPros and ConsPros:Class-leading 321-mile rangeUltra-fast 800-volt chargingRefined ride and quiet cabinCutting-edge digital cockpitConventional, non-polarizing stylingCons:Cargo space trails some rivalsRear-seat headroom tight in SportbackPassenger display is an extra-cost optionPredicted reliability rating below segment averageVerdictThe PPE platform and 800-volt electrics meaningfully advanced the state of the electric Audi art, and it finds stylish expression in the new Q6 e-tron, which is easily the most accomplished electric Audi yet, and demonstrates that going electric doesn't need to involve much compromise. The range is certainly very good, and charging speed, the driving experience, and the cabin tech are all right up to the sharp end of the segment.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe in-between Premium Plus grade, as is often the case with Audis, represents the best value for dollars spent, adding heated rear seats, a panoramic roof, B&O audio, and that fancy new AR head-up display. The Macan Electric is sharper to drive but also more expensive, and the Q6 e-tron strikes a balance of premium, refinement, and Audi familiarity that makes it an easy car to recommend in this segment.2025 Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron exteriorAudiCompetitors:Porsche Macan ElectricCadillac OptiqGenesis Electrified G70Polestar 3This story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 25, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
