2025 Audi Q6 E-Tron
The midsized Q6 E-Tron SUV’s mild-mannered styling hides the level of acceleration and handling agility that it possesses. While it’s touted as a luxury EV, potential buyers should be aware that the ride is quite firm. Single-motor rear-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions are offered. The high-performance SQ6, which packs a potent 483 hp, comes only with all-wheel drive. But even the regular dual-motor Q6 we tested is quite quick, sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. It managed 285 miles during our 70-mph highway-range test--a touch below the EPA estimate of 295 miles. Rapid DC fast charging is possible at public stations due to an impressive 270 kW max acceptance rate. The front seats are firm but comfortable and supportive, while the rear seat is roomy. Unfortunately, many of the interior controls are unintuitive and distracting to use while driving.

Brand context
About Audi
Audi sells a wide range of sedans and SUVs with luxurious interiors and lots of technology. Several of its SUVs and sedans have earned CR’s recommendation for balancing driver and passenger comfort with smooth power and nimble handling. In most cases, buyers shopping for sedans and SUVs in the luxury category should consider Audi’s options. Fit and finish quality reaches even the lowest-priced models. However, like most luxury cars from European brands, maintenance and repair costs can be expensive, making used Audis difficult to recommend. Typically, Audi identifies sedans with the letter A, SUVs with the letter Q, and numbers that increase according to size. The Q3 is a compact crossover while the Q8 is a three-row SUV. Models that start with S or RS are tuned for performance and have more power, stiffer suspension, and more aerodynamic exterior details. All-electric models have the E-tron suffix.
