2025 AUDI Q6 E-TRON REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron emerges as a compelling electric alternative to the popular Q5, sharing its platform with the Porsche Macan but positioned at a more accessible price point. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior, particularly the increased headroom and cargo capacity compared to the Q5, and praises the exceptionally comfortable and well-tuned adaptive air suspension, awarding it an 'A+'. The vehicle's 800-volt architecture enables rapid charging, reaching 10% to 80% in just 21 minutes at compatible stations, a significant advantage over competitors like the Tesla Model Y and Polestar 3. However, the reviewer notes a slightly lower real-world range (around 250 miles) and a less impressive AC charging speed due to a 9.6 kW onboard charger. While the interior boasts Audi's signature premium feel with OLED screens, the optional passenger screen is deemed less essential, and the dashboard can look stark without it. Performance is strong, with the dual-motor AWD model achieving 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The Q6 e-tron is recommended over the Model Y for its luxury and uniqueness, and is considered a strong contender against rivals like the Acura ZDX and Cadillac Lyriq, though the Polestar 3 is noted as a more luxurious and refined alternative.
