Audi Q6 e-tron Sportback Teased

At the recent media drive of the Audi Q6 e-tron, the German marque teased the Coupe SUV version of its latest electric SUV. Like other Coupe SUVs in its lineup, it is most likely to be called the Q6 e-tron Sportback. 

The details of the upcoming Q6 e-tron Sportback have not yet been revealed, with Audi only sharing a teaser image showing the silhouette. However, it should share most of its design with the standard Q6 e-tron apart from the roof. 

Powertrain details are also likely to be identical to its SUV sibling. However, due to its streamlined design, the Q6 e-tron Sportback will likely have more range than the Q6 e-tron SUV. The SUV version comes with a 100 kWh battery with a range of up to 641 km on a full charge, depending on the variant. Speaking of which, there are three variants of the Q6 e-tron – Q6 e-tron quattro, Q6 e-tron performance and SQ6 e-tron.

The difference between the three variants of the Q6 e-tron lies in the powertrain they offer. The Q6 e-tron quattro gets a dual-motor setup with 382 bhp on tap. The Q6 e-tron performance has a single-motor layout on the rear axle which produces 322 bhp. The SQ6 e-tron’s dual-electric motors produce 510 bhp.

Inside, the Q6 e-tron gets three displays in the dashboard. The first is the 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster, the second is the 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, and it also gets a 10.9-inch screen for the front passenger. The Q6 e-tron also comes with ADAS features like rear parking assist, cruise control, lane departure warning, efficiency assist, active front assist as well as a distraction and drowsiness warning system. All these features are handled by radar sensors, the front camera and ultrasonic sensors.
