Built on the Premium Platform Electric, the Q6 e-tron combines advanced electric mobility with refined driving dynamics, fast charging capabilities, and a range of digital features, including Audi’s self-driving technology.
Benedicto Coyiuto, Audi Philippines Head and President of PGA Cars highlighted the brand’s progress in the local EV market since introducing the e-tron SUV and e-tron GT models in 2022. “The arrival of the e-tron range spurred the adoption of premium electromobility in the country,” he said. “The launch of the Q6 e-tron accelerates the market’s transition to fully electric vehicles.”
The additional aesthetics found in this particular Audi Q6 e-tron such as the RS wheels are an additional cost.
The Q6 e-tron Performance leads the lineup’s arrival, featuring a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive configuration designed for efficiency and range. Additional variants are expected to follow.
Audi has integrated a suite of self-driving features into the Q6 e-tron Performance to enhance safety and convenience. The system uses multiple sensors to monitor surroundings, automatically maintaining speed and adjusting to traffic conditions. It can also bring the vehicle to a stop and resume movement in stop-and-go traffic without driver intervention.
The active lane keep assist ensures the vehicle stays within lane markings, even around bends. Other safety features include lane departure warning, swerve assist, front turn assist, cross-traffic assist, and emergency brake assist. The Drive and Park system allows for autonomous parking, while an exit warning alerts occupants of potential hazards outside.
The Q6 e-tron Performance is equipped with the Audi Digital Stage, which features three main displays. An 11.9-inch virtual cockpit, a 14.5-inch MMI panoramic touch display, and a 10.9-inch MMI passenger touch display. The system operates on Android Automotive OS, with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration.
An augmented reality head-up display projects essential information onto the windshield while the Audi Assistant responds to voice commands. The dynamic interaction light (IAL), spanning the cockpit’s width, functions as a welcome greeting, safety indicator, and charging status display.
The Q6 e-tron Performance is powered by a rear-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PSM), delivering 326 hp and 485 Nm of torque. A 100 kWh battery provides a WLTP-rated range of up to 640 kilometers. The 800-volt battery system supports fast DC charging of up to 270 kW, allowing a 10% to 80% charge in 21 minutes under optimal conditions.
If you want the additional aesthetics provided by the blue unit, Audi Philippines says you can indent order the Q6 e-tron with those additional add-ons.
As Audi Philippines continues to advance its electric mobility offerings in the country, the Q6 e-tron represents a significant step forward in providing consumers with more choices. Those interested can request a quote from their nearest Audi dealer.
