Audi's Upcoming Q6 e-tron Will Look A Lot Like This

A few days ago we became aware of the existence of yetanother all-electric Audi, the Q6 e-tron. Our spy photographers snapped images of what's clearly anadvanced prototypeundergoing testing. A 2022 debut is expected in time for the 2023 model year. It's important not to mistake the Q6 e-tron with the also upcomingQ4 e-tron, the latter being a more luxurious version of the Volkswagen ID.4. The Q6 e-tron will instead ride on the new scalable Premium Electric platform Audi and Porsche are developing together. Think of the Q6 e-tron as the closest thing to a battery-electric Q5. Anall-electric Porsche Macanis also expected to utilize this platform, but it appears Audi is the one going with the name change.

Today, we've created this rendering of what the production version could look like.

Sources claim the Q6 e-tron will have similar exterior dimensions to the Q5 while offering about the same amount of interior space as the larger Q7. Our rendering reflects that, along with other key insider details such more conventionally-styled taillights instead of the reportedly fake units found on the test mule. In general, overall performance, power, and range should be fairly similar to that of the Macan EV, meaning a 350 kWh fast charging capability and up to 300 miles on a single charge.

To compare, the current e-tron and e-tron Sportback have an EPA-rated 204 miles of range. A dual-motor setup producing up to 700 horsepower and 750 lb-ft of torque is likely.
