For the first time, an electric SUV intended for the Indian market—Audi’s Q6 e-tron—has been observed there.
The car was observed going through testing near the Mumbai suburbs.
Anticipated for retail release in late 2024 or early 2025, this model is unlikely to see direct competition in India.
It will sit beneath the Q8 e-tron, which comes in basic and sportback versions in India.
Audi Q6 e-tron: Specifications and design features
The left-hand drive Audi Q6 e-tron that has been spotted in India has the same specs as its global equivalent.
The worldwide model has two electric motors with a combined power of 388 horsepower, powered by a 100kWh battery pack.
Separate headlights and daytime running lamps, tail lights with an animateable pattern that can be adjusted, and Audi’s signature understated style are among the design elements.
Differences in the Indian model of Audi Q6 e-tron
There are a few minor variances between the international and Indian versions of the Audi Q6 e-tron. These include different alloy wheel designs and a silver finish around the front fog lamps and on the rear bumper.
It is anticipated that the India-spec vehicle will be powered by an 83kWh battery pack. It is expected to have comparable charging capabilities to its international version despite this variation.
Right now, it’s unclear what the range is.
Audi Q6 e-tron’s positioning and expected price range
The Porsche Macan EV and the Audi Q6 e-tron both use the same PPE (Premium underpinnings Electric) underpinnings.
It will sit between the Volvo XC40 Recharge and BMW iX1 at one end of the size and pricing spectrum and the Audi Q8 e-tron, Mercedes EQE SUV, and BMW iX at the other.
This electric SUV is anticipated to cost between ₹70 lakh and ₹80 lakh, ex-showroom, in India.
