A small turn and then goes away. While in a version equipped with a colorful camouflage, it has already been criss-crossing the Web since this summer, the next Q6, which does not replace any existing model, has only passed through the IAA in Munich. The brand’s boss, Gernot Döllner, barely had time to make his speech to the press before the car was removed for the public days. No, but… in case some insolent wanted to sign a purchase order!
In fact, this Q6 e-tron, very promising even if it abounds with the house lines without upsetting anything, uses an electric platform PPE (Premium Platform Electric) to share…. with Porsche. But as the future Macan is still secret, Audi had to repack what it presents as a prototype. In fact, it is indeed a definitive car and its chassis was even exhibited at the IAA for a day, revealing one motor per axle and a battery announced at 100 kWh for powers ranging from 375 to 510. c.
An 800 V architecture to which Porsche is committed will make it possible to garner watts at the terminal, up to 270 if it has enough breath. This promises lightning refills or almost since it would be possible to recover 250 km of autonomy in 10 minutes, i.e. the space of a technical stop for passengers. But if the technical nomenclature now leaves a little lukewarm compared to thermals, the biggest novelty of this e-tron 4.75 m long, halfway to Q4 and Q8, is inside.
Audi has generally refined the presentation of its cabin, but it compensates with an extra-large and curved 26-inch screen plus another smaller one (10.9 inches) for the passenger who can view his programs without distracting the driver. On the large screen, the part dedicated to instruments measures 11.9 inches and is close to the 14.5-inch touch multimedia. The buttons are carried over to the steering wheel, the console and the doors to streamline the dashboard. Audi should thus offer a real high-end electric SUV genre, a few months ahead of the Porsche Macan. Beautiful duel of prestige in perspective.
