Audi is expanding its electric vehicle lineup with the introduction of the Q6 Sportback e-tron, set to make its global debut at the Paris Motor Show 2024. This new model combines the iconic SUV features of the Q6 e-tron with a sleek Sportback design, appealing to style-conscious customers. With enhanced aerodynamic benefits, the Q6 Sportback e-tron promises a range of up to 656 kilometers, making it the range leader within the Q6 series.
“The new model demonstrates the versatility of our next-generation electric vehicles,” said Gernot Döllner, CEO of AUDI AG. “It combines the strengths of our new electric models—efficiency, range, and performance—with the distinctive design of the Sportback form.”
The Q6 Sportback e-tron offers a versatile driving experience with two battery options and multiple drive variants, including rear-wheel drive and the powerful SQ6 Sportback e-tron1, which boasts an impressive 360 kW output and reaches 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds. Its streamlined body, with a drag coefficient of 0.26, enhances its range and contributes to its dynamic appearance, while the 100 kWh battery (net: 94.9 kWh) provides extended driving distances.
Inside, the Sportback’s spacious cabin integrates Audi’s latest digital technology. The MMI panoramic display, coupled with the optional augmented reality head-up display, provides a modern and immersive user experience. Audi’s voice assistant, enhanced by AI, allows for seamless control of the vehicle’s features, while Android Automotive OS supports an expanded suite of connected services.
In terms of safety, the Q6 Sportback e-tron has been awarded the highest Euro NCAP rating of five stars, with exceptional performance in both Adult and Child Occupant Protection categories. The model offers advanced post-crash safety features, along with i-Size compatible seats for child safety.
Audi’s commitment to sustainability is evident in the production of the Q6 Sportback e-tron, manufactured under net carbon-neutral conditions at its Ingolstadt plant. The new model is expected to be available for order by the end of 2024, with prices starting at 65,900 euros for the base model and 96,200 euros for the high-performance SQ6 Sportback e-tron1.
With its progressive design, cutting-edge technology, and impressive range, the Q6 Sportback e-tron represents a significant step in Audi’s strategy to expand its electric vehicle portfolio and strengthen its position in the premium electric segment.
