THE 2025 AUDI SQ6 E-TRON IS SURPRISINGLY COOL AND FUN

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro finds the 2025 Audi SQ6 e-tron to be a significant improvement over Audi's previous electric SUV offerings, calling it "surprisingly cool and fun." He highlights its strong performance, with up to 510 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of around 4 seconds, making it a genuinely quick vehicle. The interior is praised for its high-quality materials and a significant step up in design and features compared to other Audi EVs, including a unique passenger screen with a playable game and an augmented reality navigation system. However, DeMuro notes some quirks, such as the dual charging ports that cannot be open simultaneously and a less configurable gauge cluster than previous Audi models. While the handling is described as competent and sporty for an SUV, it's not considered top-tier performance. Despite minor drawbacks like the lack of a household power port and a peculiar front trunk design, DeMuro concludes that the SQ6 e-tron is a serious competitor in the luxury electric SUV segment, offering a compelling blend of technology, performance, and practicality, and he would buy it over most rivals.
