The real story though, is underneath. Built on an 800-volt architecture, the Q6 charges at up to 270 kilowatts — ten to eighty percent in just 21 minutes — and the 100 kilowatt-hour battery returns around 542 kilometres of range.

Step inside the cabin, and three screens wrap warmly around you. There’s even an optional passenger display, complete with a privacy mode the driver can’t see.

With 285 kilowatts, 855 newton-metres, and zero to 100 in 5.9 seconds, it’s genuinely quick — yet it delivers all of it with composure,
and near silence.

From around $122,000, The Audi Q6 e-tron is an understated, beautifully judged, kind of car that quietly wins you over, every single drive.

Pricing ranges from $99,900 through to $156,400 all plus the usual costs

Built on a new EV specific architecture that is shared with Porsche the Q6 heralds a step forward for the brand.

Q6 e-tron offers a choice of drive configurations: from a single motor rear-wheel-drive variant to dual-motor all-wheel drive, with performance-oriented models like the SQ6 e-tron at the top of the range.

All versions use a 94.9 kWh useable battery pack capable of fast DC charging, meaning you can recharge a large percentage of the battery in around 20 – 25 minutes at high-power charging stations.

Range is strong too, with many versions rated over 600 km on the WLTP cycle, helping ease range anxiety. However, like fuel consumption figures real world range often differs. And low 500km is more realistic.

As you would expect the premium interior is driver focused. There is reasonable space thanks to the new platform.

Technology is a focus as well with a departure from the central stacked screens to a large horizontal design. It is practical and well laid out.

Audi are drivers’ cars and the Q6 e-tron displays a combination of quiet, refined electric driving with responsive performance. They will happily potter along but scoot along when asked, especially the SQ6 versions.

Over the next few weeks, we will have a look at some individual models we have tested.

The post Audi Q6 e-tron – what is it really like appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The Q6 brings a stylish but conservative design externally and everything you would expect from Audi inside. One noticeable difference is twin screen on the horizontal plane rather than vertical in the central console as current design shows.

The Q6 e-tron comes with a 100kWh battery that has a claimed range of up to 625km and an efficiency rate of 19.4kWh/100km.

The Q6 e-tron has 285kw of power and the SQ6 has up to 380kW. Initially they will come with quattro drive but later may come with rear wheel drive as well.

Both have respectable performance with the Q6 time of 5.9 seconds from 0-100kmh and the SQ6 taking only 4.3 seconds.

The Q6 also brings a newly developed lithium-ion battery consisting of twelve modules and 180 prismatic cells. This allows for rapid charging of up to 250km in 10 minutes at the right outlet.

Audi is also moving more towards greater sustainability in its production, from materials to the facility where the vehicles are assembled.

More details and pricing will be available closer to the release in Australia.
