The upcoming 2023 Audi Q6 E-tron from the German automaker is one of the manufacturer’s premium electric cars.

The car will arrive as a rival to the EQE SUV from the competitor Mercedes-Benz. The car will also be one of the 20 new models planned for a launch by the manufacturer by 2025 riding on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture developed in association with Porsche.

Spy shots of the Audi Q6 E-tron were leaked recently indicating that Audi has already commenced testing of its electric vehicle on roads. These spy pictures also offer a revelation about what the car will look like.

The manufacturer has not made public the full performance details that can be expected from the Q6 E-tron. However, in a discussion with Autocar, Oliver Hoffmann, technical development boss confirmed that the car will definitely deliver a 372-mile range. The PPE is known to support up to 270kW charging rate because of its 800V technology. It is possible that the car will come in two variants with rear-wheel drive as well as all-wheel drive configurations.

Both models will have a standard rear-mounted electric motor. The higher-end Audi Q6 E-tron configuration may be equipped with an extra ASM or PSM electric motor at its front axle for e-AWD. Moreover, the high-performance model will likely reach 0 to 62mph in just four seconds. As for the suspension, the possibility of a multi-link axle in the back and a five-link axle in the front cannot be completely ruled out.
