New EV has range of estimated
300 miles; expected in U.S. this fall
    
(July 3, 2024) RESTON, Va. — Audi of America has announced estimated range specifications and delivery timings for the all-new 2025 Q6 e-tron. Expected to arrive in U.S. dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2024, the all-new Q6 e-tron brings Audi electrification to the largest automotive segment — the mid-size luxury SUV segment.

As the first Audi model built on the all-new Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the Q6 e-tron and SQ6 e-tron represent the brand’s fourth fully electric model line. The Q6 e-tron is the new benchmark for the brand balancing driving dynamics, range, lighting and infotainment technologies, and everyday usability.

The e-tron will launch in the U.S. with the Q6 e-tron quattro and SQ6 e-tron, both of which come standard with all-wheel drive. The Q6 e-tron quattro offers 422 hp (456 hp with launch control), delivering an estimated 0-60 mph time of 4.9 seconds with launch control from its two (F/R) electric motors. A top track speed of 130 mph, and 307 miles of electric range are expected on the EPA test cycle with standard equipment, based on preliminary manufacturer estimates. The Q6 e-tron comes standard with 19-inch wheels, with optional 20-inch designs available.

The SQ6 e-tron makes 483 hp (509 hp with launch control) and delivers an estimated 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds with launch control, a top track speed of 143 mph, and is expected to achieve an electric range of 276 miles on the EPA test cycle with standard equipment, based on preliminary manufacturer estimates. Beyond the additional power, the SQ6 comes standard with 20-inch wheels (with 21-inch wheels available), red brake calipers, and a sport adaptive air suspension.

All Q6 e-trons feature a 94.4-kWh battery, with Audi estimating the SQ6's U.S. EPA range at 276 miles (and around 300 miles for the Q6). But the big upgrade over the brand's current electric SUVs is the PPE's 800-volt electrical architecture, which allows for DC fast-charging at up to 270 kilowatts under ideal conditions; charging from 10 to 80 percent should take around 21 minutes, per Audi, with up to 135 miles of range added in about 10 minutes.

The Q6 e-tron also marks the launch of the brand’s latest infotainment system, including an all-new user interface and digital user experience. As customers have come to expect, the latest model from Audi also debuts the next-generation of the brand’s characteristic advanced lighting technology; incorporating new features which can help enhance visibility and personalization options for owners with both LED and OLED technologies.



With a preliminary manufacturer’s estimated electric driving range of more than 300 miles on the EPA test cycle with standard equipment, the peace of mind of available quattro all-wheel drive, and 270 kW DC fast-charging capabilities, the Q6 e-tron instills confidence to comfortably go to more destinations and recharge quickly to keep the adventures rolling. Thanks to the high-degree of scalability with the PPE, future Q6 e-tron models will include rear wheel drive, a sleek Sportback variant and more potent RS versions; each expected to be announced from 2025 onward and joining the U.S. lineup.
