Many of us are quite familiar with the silhouette of the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron, thanks to the countless spy shots and official teasers we’ve seen over the past couple of years. However, spy photographers captured a trio of prototypes of the fully electric SUV virtually undisguised. The Q6 e-tron was spotted during testing in both regular (SUV) and Sportback (coupe-SUV) configurations. The white SUV seems to be almost entirely uncovered, except for a small patch of vinyl that conceals the Audi emblem at the front. This provides us with the best view yet of the sculpted bodywork of the Q6 e-tron, along with distinctive styling cues such as the high-tech Matrix LED headlights and the full-width OLED taillights.
The fully covered and silver-painted
grille is encircled by a black trim that links the bumper intakes, creating a
contrast with the white exterior. Additional black trim can be observed on the
lower section of the profile and around the windows, while the diffuser
features a silver finish. Overall, the Q6 e-tron looks like a sexier and larger
iteration of the Q4 e-tron. As is typical with most of its SUV offerings, Audi
will also roll out a Sportback version of the Q6 e-tron for those who
appreciate their electric SUVs with coupe styling features. The most recent
prototype retains some camouflage on the rear section, attempting to conceal
its C-pillars, which will serve as the signature element of the Sportback, in
addition to the steeply inclined rear glass and the integrated spoiler.
There’s no need for spy shots for the
interior. as it was fully revealed by Audi at the Munich Auto Show last
September. The Q6 e-tron’s dashboard is packed with technology, including an
11.9-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14.5-inch infotainment screen, a
10.9-inch front passenger display, and an optional augmented reality head-up
display. Depending on the trim level, buyers will have access to sustainable
materials for upholstery, while a 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio
system will keep them entertained.
The Q6 e-tron will be the first Audi to
sit on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, which will be shared
with the A6 e-tron and the Porsche Macan. Audi has already confirmed most of
the technical specifications of the 800-volt electrical system. The 100 kWh
battery pack will offer a 600 km range and support 270 kW fast
charging. The dual electric motors will produce up to 396 hp on the Q6 e-tron
55 Quattro and up to 510 hp in the SQ6 e-Tron although an
even more powerful RS version could follow at a later date.

electric SUV to make its debut in early 2024, with sales to commence shortly
thereafter.
