Audi is set to launch its Q6 E-Tron later this year, with pricing details revealed on Wednesday. The compact electric crossover, arriving as a 2025 model in the United States, will have a starting price of $65,095, which includes a destination fee of $1,295. This pricing makes it $12,200 cheaper than the electric Porsche Macan, which is built on the same PPE platform shared by the Volkswagen Group.
The Q6 E-Tron is equipped with a standard 100-kwh battery and features a single rear motor producing 302 hp (322 hp with launch control). Opting for all-wheel drive adds $2,000 and increases the output to 422 hp (456 hp with launch control) by integrating a front motor.
SQ6 E-Tron generates 483 hp (509 hp with launch control) and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds, reaching a top speed of 143 mph. It features standard 20-inch wheels, while the base Q6 E-Tron models are outfitted with 19-inch wheels.

Customers who prioritize range can consider opting for smaller 18-inch wheels on the rear-wheel-drive Q6 E-Tron through an optional Ultra package. This setup yields an estimated maximum EPA range of 321 miles. The EPA range estimate for the rear-wheel-drive Q6 E-Tron with standard 19-inch wheels has not been disclosed.
The all-wheel-drive Q6 E-Tron with standard 19-inch wheels has an estimated range of 307 miles. There is currently no EPA estimate available for the SQ6 E-Tron.
Regarding charging, rear-wheel-drive models are compatible with DC fast chargers, allowing charging rates of up to 260 kw, while all-wheel-drive variants can charge at up to 270 kw. Audi claims that owners utilizing a DC fast charger can expect to charge from 10-80% in roughly 21 minutes.

All Q6 E-Tron models will feature the Plug & Charge capability and include one year of complimentary DC fast charging through the Electrify America network. The vehicle will come equipped with a CCS connector and a Plug & Charge function, and eventually, the Q6 E-Tron will adopt Tesla’s NACS connector in North America, providing access to portions of Tesla’s charging network.
The standard features of the Q6 E-Tron include a curved display that consists of an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster paired with a 14.5-inch touchscreen for infotainment. Additional available features include a 10.9-inch touchscreen for front passengers, a Bang & Olufsen audio system, a panoramic sunroof, heated rear seats, a steering wheel, and adaptive dampers paired with air suspension.
More variants of the Q6 E-Tron are anticipated, including a coupe-inspired Q6 Sportback E-Tron body style and a high-performance RS Q6 E-Tron that Audi is expected to unveil.
