What's New for 2025?
The Q6 e-tron line, including this RWD Performance model, is brand spanking new for 2025, marking Audi’s debut on the advanced 800-volt Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture. This means rapid charging, enhanced efficiency, and dynamic performance are baked in. Expect a revolutionary interior with a new generation of Audi's MMI infotainment, featuring Android Automotive OS and a stunning panoramic display. This RWD variant specifically broadens the Q6 lineup, offering a more range-focused option right from the get-go for US customers eager for Audi's latest electric innovation.
Design & Exterior
This RWD Performance trim struts Audi's latest e-tron design language: think sharp creases, a bold (though mostly closed-off) Singleframe grille, and seriously cool customizable digital light signatures in the Matrix LED headlights and OLED taillights. It’s sleek and unmistakably Audi. Dimensionally, it measures a substantial 187.8 inches long, 76.3 inches wide, and 66.3 inches tall, giving it a proper SUV stance. Expect unique alloy wheel designs to distinguish this efficient performer, blending tech-forward aesthetics with classic Audi sophistication that’ll turn heads on American roads.
Interior, Tech & Cargo
Step inside, and the Q6 e-tron RWD Performance wows with a futuristic, driver-centric cabin. Quality materials abound, with sustainable options available. Passenger space is generous for five. You get a practical 18.6 cubic feet of trunk space, expanding to a hefty 53.6 cubic feet with seats down, plus a handy 2.3 cubic-foot frunk for extra gear. Tech is king, dominated by a curved display merging an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit and a 14.5-inch MMI touchscreen running Android Automotive OS, with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. An optional passenger display keeps everyone entertained.
Performance & Driving Experience
Don't let "RWD" fool you; this Q6 e-tron RWD Performance still packs a punch! It zips from 0-60 mph in a brisk 6.3 seconds, thanks to its single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) kicking out 240 kW and 358 lb-ft of instant torque to the rear wheels. This setup promises an engaging, balanced driving experience with classic RWD character, paired with Audi’s signature refinement and a comfortable ride. Expect multiple regenerative braking modes, allowing for efficient cruising and potentially one-pedal driving feel, making it both fun and frugal around town.
Range, Battery & Charging
The RWD Performance boasts a 94.9 kWh usable battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of 318 miles – pretty solid! Its efficiency is rated at an impressive 3.35 mi/kWh. Juice it up at home with the standard 11 kW AC on-board charger (0-100% in about 8-9 hours). Out and about, its 800V architecture allows blistering DC fast charging up to 260 kW via its CCS Type 1 port, potentially adding over 150 miles of range in about 10 minutes. The PPE platform also supports Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capabilities.
Safety & Driver-Assistance Features
Audi doesn't skimp on safety, and the Q6 e-tron RWD Performance aims for top marks, already boasting a 5-star NHTSA and Euro NCAP rating. You'll find a comprehensive suite of standard driver aids, likely including Audi Pre Sense front for collision warning and braking. Expect features like adaptive cruise assist with lane guidance, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and parking sensors to be widely available, with many advanced systems potentially standard or part of easily accessible packages for peace of mind on US roads.
Warranty & Maintenance Coverage
In the US, expect Audi’s solid coverage: a 4-year/50,000-mile basic vehicle warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty for the high-voltage battery, likely including a degradation guarantee (e.g., to 70% capacity). The powertrain warranty should align. Audi typically includes some complimentary maintenance, perhaps the first scheduled service or 1 year/10,000 miles. As a new model on an advanced platform, long-term reliability will be watched, but Audi’s building on its e-tron experience, which bodes well for keeping this slick SUV on the road.
