Recently, we learned from Audi officials that the Q6 e-tron will be launched in North America at the end of this year, with a starting price of 63,800 US dollars (about 449,000 yuan), which is 10,600 US dollars (about 74,500 yuan) lower than the Q8 e-tron sold locally. According to previous information, the domestic market will be launched in the domestic long-wheelbase version - Audi Q6L e-tron, which has completed pre-mass production at the Audi FAW new energy vehicle plant in Changchun and is expected to be launched in China in the first half of 2025.

In terms of interior, the overseas version of the Audi Q6 e-tron adopts a new design layout, which is different from the typical interior layout of Audi such as the Audi A6L and e-tron GT on sale, and the center console area provides a curved dual screen with a passenger screen, and an AR-HUD head-up display system. The interior of the locally-produced Audi Q6L e-tron has not yet been fully announced, and it is expected to adopt a similar cabin layout to the overseas version.

In the domestic market, the domestic Audi Q6L e-tron is positioned as a luxury mid-size SUV, with a length, width and height of 4884/1965/1687 mm, and a wheelbase of 2995 mm, compared with the overseas version of the model, its wheelbase is 105 mm longer to improve rear legroom.
Compared to the Audi family of gasoline midsize SUVs, the Q5L e-tron is 115 mm longer and 88 mm longer than the wheelbase, respectively. Compared with the NIO ES6 on the market, the Audi Q6L e-tron is 30 mm ahead of the body length and 80 mm wheelbase, respectively.

Judging from the size of the Audi Q6L e-tron, the car will be positioned as a pure electric mid-size SUV, and competing models in the domestic market may include NIO ES6 (guide price 338,000-396,000 yuan), Xpeng G9 (guide price 263,900-359,900 yuan), AVATR 11 (guide price 300,800-390,800 yuan), BMW iX3 (guide price 405,000-445,000 yuan), and Tesla Model Y (guide price 249,900-354,900 yuan), etc. In the end, it is worth paying attention to whether the Audi Q6L e-tron can "break out of the encirclement" and regain the market position that the brand has achieved in the fuel vehicle market.
