2025 Audi Q6 E-Tron Unique Exterior Lighting
One exciting feature of the Audi Q6 E-Tron is its customizable lighting signatures. Through the telematics system or the MyAudi app, drivers can choose from eight animations for the headlights and lights.
Peppy Electric Powertrain
The 2025 Audi Q6 E-tron is propelled by an advanced electric powertrain built on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform, shared with the Porsche Macan EV. Like the Porsche Taycan and the brand’s E-Tron GT model, the 2025 Q6 E-Tron has a cutting-edge 800-volt electrical system. Thanks to this advanced charging system, buyers of the all-electric q6 will experience fast and efficient charging capabilities.
The lithium-ion battery, with a total capacity of 100 kWh, powers the new Q6 E-tron’s electric motors. The 2025 Q6 E-Tron delivers a combined output of 382 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. This massive power output allows the new Q6 E-Tron to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. For a crossover SUV, the Q6’s 6-second acceleration is good, placing it close to the Volkswagen ID.4. But still a bit slow when compared to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N’s 3.3-second acceleration time. Still, users can expect exhilarating driving dynamics and responsive handling on the road.
Those who find the base model’s 382 sluggish can opt for the performance-oriented SQ6 E-Tron variant, which offers 510 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the base model, the 2025 Audi SQ6 E-Tron can go from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. With its prioritized torque delivery to the rear axle and wider rear tires, the Q6 E-Tron ensures dynamic and engaging driving performance.
