Audi Q6 e-tron: A completely new EV based on a new platform

- New platform jointly developed with Porsche 

- Electric driving range of up to 613km

The Audi Q6 e-tron is the first production model based on the brand’s Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture. It is defined not only by a new look inside-out but also with increased claimed efficiency and an electric range of up to 381 miles (613km). The new electric drive platform, developed jointly with Porsche, and the E3 electronic architecture are important milestones in the expansion of Audi's global range of electrically powered models. They mark the start of comprehensive upgrades to the model portfolio. The Q6 e-tron underpins Audi's plans to offer electric vehicles in all core segments by 2027.

The Audi Q6 e-tron is 4,771mm long, 2,193mm (including mirrors) wide, and 1,702mm tall. It has a fairly long wheelbase and short overhangs to maximise space efficiency. The design sets it apart from existing electric SUVs by Audi. The highlight, of course, is the lighting, and the Q6 e-tron comes with the world's first active digital light signature. At the front, the active digital light signature includes the interaction of the algorithm with twelve segments that dim up and down. 

At the rear, all-digital OLED segments are used for this purpose. The individual light segments interact in such a way that the total light intensity of the light signature does not vary. With a total of up to eight signatures in the redesigned daytime running lights of the Matrix LED headlights and the OLED rear lights 2.0, owners can individualise their Q6 e-tron in a new way.

Thanks to the new platform, which was developed specifically for e-mobility, the Q6 e-tron has a lot more space to offer than the existing Audi EVs. The increased comfort of the middle seat in the rear is typical of an electric car without a centre tunnel, and that’s what the Q6 e-tron gets. The boot space is rated at 526 litres of storage. If the rear seat bench is folded down, the storage space increases to up to 1,529 litres. A further 64 litres of storage is optionally available in the frunk (front trunk) under the front hood.
