REVIEW: 2025 AUDI SQ6 E-TRON - BETTER THAN EXPECTED!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Audi SQ6 e-tron is a compelling electric SUV that largely exceeds expectations, sharing its PPE platform with the Porsche Macan Electric. The reviewer praises its striking exterior design, particularly the front lighting, and the luxurious, high-tech interior featuring a new Audi design language. The Bang & Olufsen sound system with headrest speakers is highlighted as a standout feature. Performance is strong, with impressive acceleration and sporty handling, though the reviewer notes the limitations of the winter tires used for testing. The ride quality is commended for balancing sportiness with comfort, a hallmark of Audi's 'S' models. However, the lack of ventilated seats in the quilted 'S' seats, despite the vehicle's high price, is a notable drawback. The reviewer also points out minor annoyances with the capacitive touch buttons and occasional software glitches. While the SQ6 e-tron offers a premium experience and strong safety credentials (Top Safety Pick Plus), its value proposition is questioned when compared to competitors like the Cadillac Lyriq V, which offers similar or better performance and features for a comparable or lower price.
