Audi's twin to the electric Porsche Macan has finally made its debut.
After several delays, Audi's Q6 E-Tron has finally arrived, in both regular and sporty SQ6 E-Tron guises. It's confirmed to start sales in the U.S. late this year as a 2025 model, and specifications for this market will be announced closer to that on-sale date.
Both vehicles ride on Volkswagen Group's new PPE modular platform designed for high-volume cars from the automaker's premium brands. The automaker has the older MEB platform for mainstream brands. The standard battery for the U.S. will be a 100-kwh unit , and dual-motor all-wheel drive will also be standard across the range.
Like the Macan, the Q6 E-Tron features an 800-volt electrical system. This facilitates charging at rates of up to 270 kw. Additionally, the system has been designed to offer so-called bank charging when only 400-volt charging stations are available. The process essentially splits the 800-volt battery into two 400-volt segments and speeds up charging. In optimal conditions, owners can expect a 10-80% charge in 21 minutes, Audi said.
