AUDI Q6 E-TRON 2025 REVIEW: NEW ELECTRIC CAR UNDERCUTS PORSCHE MACAN EV AND TARGETS BMW IX3 SUV

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron arrives as a significant, albeit familiar, offering in the premium electric SUV segment. While sharing the new PPE platform with the Porsche Macan EV, the Q6 e-tron delivers a driving experience that is quintessentially Audi – refined, capable, and comfortable, particularly with the optional air suspension. The reviewer highlights its strong performance, impressive charging speeds (270kW peak), and a WLTP range of up to 641km, though real-world efficiency is noted as needing further evaluation. Interior technology is advanced with large screens and a passenger display, but the reliance on haptic controls and the lack of physical buttons are points of contention. Practicality is generally good, with ample boot space, though rear-seat knee room is described as merely adequate for its class. The reviewer expresses a slight disappointment that the Q6 e-tron doesn't push boundaries further in terms of innovation, feeling very much like a traditional Audi in an era where rivals are exploring more radical concepts. Despite this, it's praised for its solid build, excellent safety calibration, and competitive ownership proposition.
