The 2025 Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron has officially hit the U.S. market, offering a sleek and stylish alternative to its more traditional sibling, the Q6 E-Tron. Priced starting at $70,895, the Q6 Sportback E-Tron comes in two versions, both equipped with dual-motor all-wheel drive and a 94.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack.
Featuring a maximum range of 319 miles, this coupe-like electric crossover is a standout in terms of performance and efficiency. With a maximum output of 456 horsepower, the entry-level version can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 130 mph. The Sportback’s sleek design contributes to its impressive range, with a roofline that sits 1.4 inches lower than the regular SUV version.
For those looking for a bit more power and style, the SQ6 Sportback E-Tron offers a combined 509 horsepower and a quicker acceleration time of 4.1 seconds to reach 60 mph. However, this comes at a slight trade-off in range, with an EPA rating of 283 miles. The SQ6 Sportback E-Tron starts at $77,595, providing a more upscale and sporty driving experience.
In terms of features and amenities, the Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron offers a range of trim levels, with the Premium trim including 20-inch wheels, a Sport adaptive air suspension system, and massaging front seats. Upgrading to the Premium Plus trim adds additional features like adaptive cruise control, an augmented reality head-up display, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system. The top Prestige trim adds luxury touches such as acoustic glass for the front doors, a larger digital instrument cluster screen, and digital OLED taillights.
Charging the 2025 Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron is a breeze, with the ability to accept up to 270 kilowatts of power from an 800-volt DC fast charger. This allows for a quick 10% to 80% charge in just 21 minutes, thanks to Volkswagen Group’s Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture.
Overall, the Audi Q6 and SQ6 Sportback E-Tron offer a blend of performance, style, and efficiency, making them attractive options for electric vehicle enthusiasts. These models are set to go on sale in the U.S. by the end of the month, providing a new and exciting option in the electric vehicle market.
