The Q6 e-Tron shares its DNA with the Porsche Macan EV, also underpinned by the same PPE architecture.

The Q6 e-Tron boasts of a massive 100 kWh battery that claims a peak range of 613 km (WLTP) on a single charge.

The standard Q6 e-tron is powered by a motor that puts out 382 bhp and can sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.9 seconds. It can clock a top speed of 209 kmph.

The Sportback variant gets a more powerful motor generating 510 bhp and clocking a top speed of 229 kmph. It can hurl itself to 100 kmph from a standstill in just 4.3 with the aid of launch control.

Both versions of the Q6 e-Tron come equipped with Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive technology which means a dual-motor setup.

Audi says the 800V PPE architecture can support DC fast charging up to 270 kW which rejuvenates the battery from 10 to 80 percent in just 21 minutes.

Inside, the Q6 e-Tron benefits from a new dashboard layout featuring a single curved pane housing a 11.9-inch instrument console, and a 14.5-inch central touchscreen along with a passenger touchscreen
