Video Summary
The Q6 e-tron is a five-passenger SUV that is bigger than the current Q5. The Q8 e-tron platform will be discontinued after this year. The Q6 e-tron uses Audi's premium platform electric (PPE) EV architecture. Real-world winter range was 190 to 226 miles. EPA ranges are impressive and can be realized. The car has true one-pedal driving, which is new for Audi. The driver can configure the car to use the brake pedal, if that is preferred.A 70-mph highway range test will be done to get more data. In reality, a range of 130 miles was seen on a full charge, due to cold and windy weather. Performance has plenty of power, and it's surprisingly fast.
The one-pedal regenerative breaking is smooth. You can also use the padals to tailor the amount of regeneration.
Regarding technology, there is just a lot of it.
Rear automatic emergency braking is extremely sensitive. When trying to parallel park, the vehicle put itself into park. All models have rear cross-traffic warning.
It is important to test drive this Audi model because of all the different options on how it can be driven. It might be a better fit for drivers who have experience with a hybrid car.
There are two charging ports. The sales person said setting up the car takes 90 minutes. You need a good 5G service for all systems. The new Hyundai Santa Fe or the Lexus TX500h are models of similar size, and have the ability to haul three dogs.
The interior is well-assembled. There is less EV whine with this car than with others.
To be truly happy with the car, use the car's memory settings. The door panels have different function controls placed close together, and the wheel also has function control, so the tech is not always simple to use. If not logged into the Audi Connect Universe app, the map will not work, nor will certain vehicle features. So this means the owner would constantly be paying. The leather key fob feels cheap.
Turning some of the technology off makes the overall experience better.
It’s important for future buyers to spend enough time in the vehicle.
