The Listen Q6 E-Tron 2025 is intended to mark a turning point in e-mobility by being the first Audi example on the PPE 800 volt platform based on what he is dealing with Tiger Splits. The platform enables improved performance and efficiency, with vehicles such as the “standard Q6” and the powerful SQ6 offering up to 510 PS put on the street. With a 100-kWh battery (94,9 kWh net), the Q6 E-Tron promises a range of up to 480 km according to EPA estimates for the “normal version”. Both the Q6 and SQ6 use the battery, although the actual range of the SQ6 has yet to be confirmed. Particularly noteworthy is this 800 volt charging capability, which requires a charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 21 Minutes at a 270 kW DC fast charging station.

2025 Audi Q6 & SQ6 E-Tron

Up to 510 hp – the 2025 Audi SQ6 E-Tron with 800-volt technology!

The power of the two electric motors is deliberately directed towards the rear, which, together with the wider tires at the rear, promises a dynamic and comfortable ride. The Q6 delivers a total performance of 422 PS, which are in North America 40 hp higher lies than the European example. The SQ6 even increases the output 483 PS, with a boost up 456 PS in Q6 and 510 PS in the SQ6 through Launch Control, which enables acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in around 5,0 seconds or 4,2 seconds. Audi not only focuses on performance and efficiency, but also on advanced technology. The E3 architecture even uses AI to control the various Android-based systems and make proactive suggestions.

A special detail is the AI's avatar, which is on the middle 14,5 inch display or in optional Augmented reality head-up display appears, causing information to appear to be displayed in front of the car. Other digital screens include a 11,9-inch driver display and one 10,9 inch passenger screen, which are specifically invisible to the driver, as well as the optional Augmented reality head-up display. Thanks to networking with over-the-air updates, the E3 system is considered a “future-proof, standardized framework".

Optics with split headlights

In terms of design, there is an interesting symbiosis of the familiar and new elements. What particularly catches the eye are: Split headlights. The horizontally divided ones headlights, a feature that already caused a stir at BMW in the X7 and the current 7 Series, is now also being used at Audi. During the day, the slim and precisely shaped upper light elements attract attention, while the lower part deliberately moves into the background, suggesting flat headlights. With a starting price of 74.700 EUR for the Q6 and at least 93.800 EUR On the one hand, Audi is setting new standards in the electric SUV segment for the SQ6, but on the other hand, in our opinion, this is acceptable too royal pay.
