Audi Audi Q6 E-tron has been hard at work fleshing out its crossover lineup, and who can blame it, considering how hot that segment is right now.
We already know that the 2016 Audi Q1 is on the way, the 2016 Q7 has just received a full makeover, and a sub-Q1 Junior crossover is rumored to be on the way. Now, according to an image that Audi released and a report from Autocar, Audi is set to launch a Tesla Model X-fighting Q6 e-tron in the coming years.
This report comes from a press conference held by Audi’s research and development boss, Ulrich Hackenberg, who outlined the basic details surrounding the upcoming electric crossover. Unfortunately, Hackenberg didn’t dive too deep into the new model, but he did give us enough information to do a little speculating with.
So do I think that the Q6 e-tron will be able to hang with the now-delayed Model X?
Updated 08/13/2015: In a recent press release, Audi announced it will develop the battery for its future electric SUV on the basis of powerful cell modules from the South Korean suppliers LG Chem and Samsung SDI. This new technology will ensure a driving range of more than 500 kilometers (310 miles).

Exterior Audi Q6 E-tronAccording to Ulrich Hackenberg, Audi’s research and development boss, the upcoming Q6 will draw its inspiration from the 2014 Prologue Concept that it showed off at the 2014 LA Auto Show. Also noted was the fact that this SUV will be sportier than the Q7, and will feature a coupe-link appearance.
Though the teaser image that Audi released doesn’t show too much, the cues that I expect the Q6 to adopt from the Prologue concept include the swooping roofline, the angular headlights, the more hard-angled grille and the deeply sculpted doors. Also look for it to carry taillights that are similar to those on the concept.
Interior
The cabin remains a mystery, but given this is a crossover coupe, look for it to have a 2+2 seating arrangement and limited headroom in the rear. Look for the cabin to come standard with high-end leather upholstery, but Audi will also offer even more premium materials for a cost.
With this being an EV, look for it to carry all of the latest and greatest gadgetry. Look for an advanced infotainment system, a touchscreen that monitors the battery system, and an entire suite of safety devices.
Drivetrain
The driving force behind the Q6 is a set of four electric motors – one at each wheel – much like the R8 e-tron. The amount of power this system will have remains unknown, but it’ll likely be a good bit less than the 2016 R8 e-tron’s 455 horsepower. Maybe somewhere in the range of 375 horsepower would be good for this class. That said, the final output will probably be influenced by what Tesla decides to do with the Model X.
Fueling the four electric motors will be a 100 kWh battery – 10 kWh higher than the R8 e-tron. Despite having a higher-rated batter than the R8 e-tron, the Q6 will likely have a range of under 200 miles, while the R8 will enjoy a 280-mile range. This is mostly due to the higher curb weight and increased aerodynamic drag.
