New Audi Q6 e-Tron Rear-Wheel Drive Variant Revealed With More Range

A new rear-wheel drive variant of the Audi Q6 e-tron has been introduced, featuring a single motor. Positioned below the Q6 e-tron Quattro and SQ6 e-tron, this newly introduced Performance variant boasts a range of 641 km and accelerates from 0 to 100 kmph in just 6.6 seconds.

Expected to launch in India in 2025, this variant will cater exclusively to the quattro variants. The Audi Q6 e-tron initially debuted globally in March 2024, and the single-motor variant, known as the Audi Q6 e-tron Performance, has now been unveiled. It offers a superior claimed range compared to other variants.

The Q6 e-tron Performance is anticipated to inherit many features from higher variants, including a three-screen setup comprising an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit for the driver, a 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 10.9-inch display for the passenger, equipped with a premium 20-speaker Bang & Olufsen system. Additional features might include a heads-up display with Augmented Reality (AR), ambient lighting, plush interiors with multi-zone climate control, and power-adjustable front seats.

The upcoming Audi Q6 e-tron Performance variant will be configured with a rear-wheel drive and a single motor. Here’s a comparison of its specifications with the other variants in terms of range and performance:

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

Expected to arrive in India in 2025, the Audi Q6 e-tron is likely to offer only the dual-motor all-wheel-drive variants, similar to the Audi Q8 e-tron, serving as a premium alternative to models like the Kia EV6 and Volvo XC40 Recharge.
