These features include a three-screen setup with an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit for the driver, a 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen in the centre, and a 10.9-inch display with a Bang & Olufsen premium 20-speaker system for the passenger. Additional features include a heads-up display with ambient lighting and augmented reality (AR), luxurious interiors with multi-zone climate control, and electrically adjustable front seats.

Powertrain And Range

Audi Q6 e-tron The performance variant will be available with a single motor and rear wheel drive setup. The specifications are compared to its superior variations in terms of performance and range as follows:

With a 270kW DC charger, the battery can be quickly charged to add 260 kilometres of range in just 10 minutes.

Expected launch

Although the Audi Q6 e-tron is anticipated to arrive in India in 2025, it is unlikely that this new single-motor model would be offered. Just like with the Audi Q8 e-tron, only the dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions should be anticipated. It is probably going to be a more expensive option than the Kia EV6 and Volvo XC40 Recharge.
