Here’s Our First Look at the Audi Q6 e-tron
Audi previews 2025 Q6 e-tron electric crossover ahead of its official reveal in the second half of 2023.
The sport-utility will be based on the VW Group's Premium Platform Electric (PPE), which will be shared with Porsche models.
The midsize Q6 e-tron will be positioned between the Q4 e-tron and the Q8 e-tron models.
Audi has only recently launched the Q4 e-tron in the US, but yet another electric model is on the way. A few days ago the Ingolstadt-based automaker gave the EV world its first preview of the Q6 e-tron, which will be a midsize electric crossover sandwiched between its Q4 and Q8 e-tron siblings.
The model has been undergoing cold weather testing in Europe ahead of its expected debut in the metal later this year.
You might at first suspect this will be yet another Audi model based on the Volkswagen Group's MEB architecture, which underpins the likes of the Q4 e-tron and the VW ID.4. But the Q6 e-tron will instead use VW Group's Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, shared with Porsche. The Q6 e-tron will mark Audi's first use of this platform.
"With the Audi Q6 e-tron, e-mobility is coming from Ingolstadt for the first time," said Markus Duesmann, CEO of Audi AG. "To this end, we're also building a dedicated battery assembly facility on site. This will enable us to retain important know-how here in Germany and train our employees in future fields."
