Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron: with a view to the rear

The Q6 Sportback E-Tron has a longer range and a coupé-like rear end. The elegant lines at the rear look good on the Audi and emphasize the sporty character of the electric Sportback.

"The new Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron transforms energy into enthusiasm," explains Audi Brand Director Dieter Jermann with a satisfied look at the white SUV with the coupé-like sloping roofline. "We are expanding the all-electric E-Tron family with the new Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron and the Audi SQ6 Sportback E-Tron. This innovative premium SUV combines the essence of the Sportback features with clean lines, progressive design and even more dynamism."

The dynamically designed Sportback combines the spaciousness of an SUV with the elegance of a coupé. The E-Audi offers 511 liters of trunk space and a 64-liter frunk in the front. If the rear seat bench is folded down, the storage space increases to up to 1373 liters. Right from the market launch of the electric Q6 Sportback, a rear-wheel drive version will be available in addition to a 4×4 version and the S model - just like its SUV sister model. Compared to the SUV, the rakishly tapered rear end creates a mixture of sporty elegance and power. Analogies to the E-Tron GT family are also unmistakable. The interior is more consistently geared towards the needs of the occupants than ever before and the ambience is designed to be emphatically homely.

One battery size and two drive variants provide the necessary thrust for the stately, 4.77 m long Lord of the Rings. The electric motor of the rear-wheel drive Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron with a 100 kWh battery (net 94.9 kWh) has an output of 225 kW/306 hp and needs 6.6 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. The all-wheel drive version with 285 kW/387 hp completes the parade sprint in 5.5 seconds. As an all-wheel drive model with 285 kW/387 hp, it completes the parade sprint in 5.9 seconds. The SQ6, designed for even more sportiness and dynamics with 360 kW/489 hp, even accelerates the Audi to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds.

It is not only the Audi's performance that is impressive, but also its range. Thanks to the more streamlined body shape and 3.7 centimetres less height, but also thanks to the sophisticated thermal management of the high-voltage battery, the Audi boasts a range of up to 656 kilometers. In addition, the 800-volt on-board electrical system guarantees strong charging performance. Ten minutes at a fast-charging station to recharge under ideal conditions with a maximum charging capacity of up to 270 kW (rear-wheel drive models up to 260 kW) for a range of up to 265 kilometers - not bad!

The Q6 Sportback E-Tron Performance is available to buy in Switzerland from 82,400 Swiss francs; with all-wheel drive, the Audi costs at least 88,400 Swiss francs.
