The new Audi Q6 SUV e-tron quattro and SQ6 SUV e-tron quattro are now available for order in the UK, with prices starting at £68,975 and £92,950 respectively. These models are the first Audi production vehicles to be built on the advanced Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform, offering improvements in performance, driving range, and charging capabilities. The Q6 e-tron and SQ6 e-tron feature a driving range of up to 381 miles, fast charging at 270kW, and advanced connectivity, infotainment, and driver assistance systems powered by the new E3 1.2 electronic architecture.
The Q6 SUV e-tron quattro and SQ6 SUV e-tron quattro are the initial models available for order in the UK, with options for Sport, S line, and Edition 1 specifications. Later in 2024, additional variants will be introduced, including rear-wheel drive options priced from £59,975 and £63,475. These models feature a new powertrain naming convention that simplifies the classification of different powertrain options, focusing on the drive type and performance level of each variant.
The SQ6 SUV e-tron quattro, with 490PS and a 0-62mph sprint time of 4.3 seconds, represents the performance flagship of the range. It offers all-wheel-drive agility and engaging driving dynamics. The Audi Q6 SUV e-tron and SQ6 SUV e-tron come equipped with advanced infotainment systems, including an MMI display and Audi virtual cockpit, as well as driver assistance technologies for parking, lane change, and intersection assistance. Comfort features include heated seats, three-zone climate control, and adaptive air suspension.
The Audi Q6 SUV e-tron and SQ6 SUV e-tron models come with a range of specification options by trim level, from Sport to S line to Edition 1, each offering unique styling and equipment upgrades. The Edition 1 variant includes sport suspension, upgraded wheels and lighting, premium seats in leather and microfibre upholstery, and a front-seat massage function. The SQ6 e-tron quattro Edition 1 adds S-specific adaptive air suspension, a panoramic roof, OLED taillights, and exterior styling enhancements.
Customers who order the Q6 SUV e-tron quattro in Sport, S line, or Edition 1 trim before June 30, 2025, will receive the Sound and Vision pack at no extra cost, which includes a premium sound system, augmented reality head-up display, and ambient lighting package. After this date, the pack will be available as an optional extra for an additional cost. The introduction of the Q6 e-tron and SQ6 e-tron marks the beginning of Audi’s largest model initiative in history, with a goal to have a battery electric vehicle in every core segment of its model portfolio by 2027.
