Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:- The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron faces competition from the BMW iX, Cadillac Optiq, Genesis Electrified GV70/GV60, Lexus RZ, and Tesla Model Y.
- The Q6 is built on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, shared with the Porsche Macan EV. The Audi A6 will also share this platform.
- The all-wheel-drive version has a max charge rate of 270 kilowatts and a max charge rate for the rear-drive models at 260 kilowatts, meaning charging from 10-80% at the right DC fast charger takes 21 minutes. Level 2 charging at home is about 14 hours.
- There are two charge ports, with the driver's side for DC fast charging and Level 2, and the passenger side for AC.
- Single-motor rear drive versions produce 322 peak horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque. Dual-motor Quattro all-wheel-drive models produce 456 horsepower.
- The rear uses a permanently excited synchronous motor, while the front is asynchronous.
- It has a frunk where the charge cord can be stored.
- Single-motor e-trons are EPA-rated at 321 miles of range. Dual-motor e-trons with 19-inch wheels score 307, and with the 20-inch, Prestige trim, the range is 295 miles.
- The transmission is single-speed. Recuperation drag can be added by pulling back a second time and selecting B.
- The adaptive air suspension raises from the balanced/comfort setting by 45 millimeters and raises off-road by 28 millimeters, or dynamic and efficiency drop it 20 millimeters.
- The reviewers found the drive dynamics improved, especially with the new front axle; steering felt direct with minimal sloppiness, and body roll is controlled. It is very quiet, and the seats are heated and vented with excellent support.
- There is real birch trim, not fake wood. It does not have many hard buttons, though it has Audi Connect, meaning you can just use your voice to perform functions.
- The third, optional screen allows co-pilots to watch YouTube. Also, Navigation prompts can be sent to all speakers, including headrest speakers.
- The door openings, however, are a little on the smaller side.
- With SUV Styling not being reinvented, there are deep contours. Headlights are hidden behind smoke panels.
