Video Summary
Here is the summary of the electric car review video:- The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron is Audi's third dedicated e-tron electric vehicle and the second model to ride on a platform shared with Porsche.
- The Q6 e-tron rides on the all-new PPE platform co-developed with Porsche.
- The recently introduced Macan Electric was the first fruit of this co-development effort.
- Four platforms are currently under the Audi umbrella.
- All future Audi electric models will ride on PPE except the e-tron GT, which rides on a bespoke platform shared with the Porsche Taycan.
- The software division overseeing the PPE project faced bumps in the road during development.
- The goal for PPE was to enable the premium models riding on that platform to be more easily updatable and upgradeable over the air.
- The goal is enabled thanks to a new electronic architecture called e cubed.
- PPE is an 800-volt architecture.
- The Q6 e-tron will have some of the fastest recharging times in the industry.
- Its 100 kWh CATL battery can be recharged from 10 to 80% in approximately 21 minutes at a peak DC fast charge rate of 270 kW.
- At charging stations with 400-volt plugs, the battery will split into two banks and recharge each bank separately at 135 kW of charging speed.
- On-board AC charger can do so at a peak rate of 9.6 kW.
- CCS will be the plug of choice at launch, but sometime next year, NACS will take the stand.
- In the US, the Q6 e-tron will be launched with two variants: Q6 e-tron quattro and SQ6 e-tron.
- The variants are dual-motor all-wheel drive with more powerful electric motors in the back, giving the Q6 a rear drive bias.
- Sportback and single-motor rear-wheel-drive models are coming later.
- The quattro makes 422 horsepower or 456 horsepower with launch control.
- The sportier SQ6 e-tron will do 483 horsepower or 510 horsepower using launch control.
- Interior features Audi's latest design ethos, with screen-focused design, a secondary passenger display, and plenty of piano black plastic.
- Google Assistant and Google Maps are integrated right into the software.
- All those variations in how people talk can be understood a lot better than rudimentary systems of the past.
- There is also a new ambient lighting system that can be coordinated to pulse with the music.
- Dimensionally, the Q6 e-tron is six inches shorter than the Q8 e-tron but is more spacious inside.
- If you have the second-row seat up, you'll have 30.2 cubic feet of space, but fold that down, and you'll have about 60, which is four more cubes of space than that Q8 e-tron.
- Q6 e-tron can reach 300 miles of range.
