On March 20, European time, Audi's new electric SUV Audi Q6 e-tron made its world debut, officially starting the pre-launch rhythm.
According to official information, the Audi Q6 e-tron is positioned as a pure electric mid-size SUV, and the new car is based on the new PPE electric vehicle platform, representing the technological exploration of Audi and even the Volkswagen Group in terms of new energy architecture. It is worth mentioning that the platform was jointly developed by Audi and Porsche, and the future Porsche electric vehicle will also be born on this platform, and it is also the first model built by Audi based on the new platform, which is of great significance for the expansion of the Audi brand in the field of new energy.
It is reported that the world premiere models include Audi Q6 e-tron and SQ6 e-tron, both models at the same time in the European market open reservations, the pre-sale price is 74,700 euros, equivalent to 588,158 yuan, the flagship model pre-sale price of 93,800 euros, equivalent to 738,500 yuan, this price range, and the domestic Audi Q7 fuel car price overlap to a certain extent.
From the outside, the Audi Q6 e-tron adopts the design language of the Audi new energy vehicle family, and the overall style is full and stocky, but also slightly sporty. Although it is a new energy identity, the front face of the new car still has a slight fuel temperament, especially the use of the Audi family polygonal grille (electric vehicles do not need such exaggerated air intakes), the advantage of such a design is to reflect the family commonality of the Audi brand, and at the same time enhance the Audi brand identity and consistency. The new car is designed with exaggerated deflector grooves on both sides and below the grille, and the interior is blackened, which further enhances the new car's powerful aura. The Q6 e-tron is a split light design, with a very designable interior light cluster and light strip, and can project different shapes, which is very recognizable.
The Audi Q6 e-tron has a full-bodied, sleek side shape, thick and stocky, and strives to create a sense of power within the limited body. Two short waistlines are arranged at the front and rear of the car, which enriches the body silhouette. The new car uses regular door handles, which are not trendy enough and more practical. In addition, the B-pillar/C-pillar, rearview mirrors and skirt line of the new car are blackened, bringing more dark temperament. At the same time, the D-pillar is slightly tilted forward, the roof is slightly pressed down, and the rear of the vehicle is more dynamic. If you look at it from the back, the design and shape of the rear of the body is relatively traditional, the integrated through taillights are very eye-catching, and the rear surround shape is full and rich.
In terms of space, the length, width and height of the Audi Q6 e-tron are 4771/1993/1648mm, but because of the short front overhang and long wheelbase design, the actual wheelbase is 2899mm, which is significantly more than the same level models, and you can get relatively ample riding space. The Audi Q6 e-tron has a five-seat design with integrated headrest seats, which has good wrapping properties. The SQ6 e-tron's seats are sportier and stimulate the driver's desire to drive. In terms of storage, the Audi Q6 e-tron offers two storage compartments with a front trunk under the hood for deep storage. The trunk space reaches 526L, which can meet the needs of daily travel. When the backrests of the rear seats are folded down, you can get a large bed that stretches out for a more imaginative space experience.
In terms of interior, the Audi Q6 e-tron adopts a driver-centric enveloping design, while paying great attention to the sense of technology, the new car is equipped with a 14.5-inch multimedia curved screen, an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit and a 10.9-inch co-pilot screen, bringing a more advanced and rich intelligent technology experience. In addition, the new car is equipped with an AR-HUD, which can display information such as speed, navigation and battery level while driving, and the data floats up to 200 meters away, so it will not distract the driver. It is also worth mentioning that the new car is equipped with a 20-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system, and the front headrests are also equipped with speakers, which can in fact enjoy the treatment of a mobile theater.
In terms of the key powertrain, the Audi Q6 e-tron is expected to be equipped with a 100 kWh battery pack with a combined range of 625 km, a maximum power of 285 kW with an electric motor, a 0-100 acceleration time of 5.9 seconds, and a four-wheel drive system, which makes the vehicle have excellent performance and good passing ability.
