Audi Q6 e-tron: Overview

The Audi Q6 e-tron is among the latest additions to the German brand’s luxury electric SUV portfolio, globally unveiled in March 2024. Built on the all-new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) co-developed with Porsche, it shares its underpinnings with the Porsche Macan EV. This marks the first time Audi has employed the PPE architecture, which includes an 800-volt electrical system and rear-biased dual electric motors. The Q6 e-tron introduces a new phase of Audi’s electrification strategy and is expected to arrive in the Indian market by late 2025.
