2025 AUDI Q6 E-TRON ROADTRIP REVIEW - HAVE AUDI'S LUXURY EVS FINALLY CAUGHT UP?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron Quattro is presented as a significant improvement over previous e-tron models and a more sensible choice than the higher-performance SQ6. The reviewer highlights its strong performance, with over 500 lb-ft of torque and ample horsepower, making it feel nearly as quick as the SQ6. Charging is a major win, with the ability to go from 10-80% in about 20 minutes at up to 270 kW. Real-world efficiency is impressive, achieving around 3 miles per kWh on the highway at 80 mph, translating to a favorable range in warm weather. The reviewer praises the phenomenal head-up display, comfortable ride on smooth surfaces, and quiet cabin, deeming it a capable road trip machine. However, the interior receives mixed reviews, with criticism directed at the glossy black plastic, the placement of air vents, and a perceived lack of true luxury materials, despite comfortable seats and good AC. The sound system is also noted as underwhelming for a luxury vehicle. The reviewer concludes that while it's a solid improvement and a better value than the SQ6, it falls into the 'B category' of vehicles, being a good buy but not an S-tier contender, especially when compared to more affordable and arguably more luxurious alternatives like the Genesis GV60 or Hyundai Ioniq 5.
