The 2027 Audi Q6 e-tron is a comfortable and handsomely appointed compact electric SUV that looks little different from its gas-powered counterparts. The Q6 comes with either a single- or dual-motor setup, offering up to 321 miles of EPA estimated range in the one-motor version and 307 miles in the dual-motor Quattro model. With two motors, this electric SUV gains all-wheel drive, 134 ponies, and quicker acceleration.
Shoppers have a choice of two body styles, though we recommend the regular SUV over the Sportback for its more interior room. Inside, the Q6 e-tron feels every bit as comfortable, calm, and contemporary as you'd expect of an Audi. The mid-level Premium Plus trim offers leather-wrapped sport seats with ventilation, making it a good compromise between features and price.
The base Quattro model makes 456 ponies, while the high-performance SQ6 e-tron ups the ante with 510 horsepower. With its predictive regenerative braking system, the Q6 e-tron is one of our favorite features, working nearly flawlessly to maximize energy recapture. 4 seconds puts it in line with the tamest all-wheel-drive Porsche Macan EV, but far off that lineup’s Turbo model.
4-kWh battery, which Audi says can charge from 10 to 80 percent in under 30 minutes on a fast-charging connection. With its impressive range testing, the Q6 e-tron Quattro managed an impressive 250 miles on the highway at 75 mph. The EPA estimates the Q6 e-tron should deliver up to 112 MPGe city, 97 MPG highway, and 104 MPGe combined.
Overall, the Q6 e-tron is a solid choice for those looking for a comfortable and feature-packed electric SUV.
The Audi Q6 e-tron's unique blend of comfort, technology, and range makes it an attractive option in the compact electric SUV segment. However, its performance capabilities may not appeal to enthusiasts seeking more gusto.
