Audi Q6 E-Tron Review, Engine & Price

As a Macan brother based on the PPE platform (Premium Platform Electric), the Audi Q6 e-Tron will be positioned between the Q4 and the e-Tron. First photos, an illustration, and information on price, range, and Quattro.

The SUV Audi Q6 e-Tron, of which we have photos and an illustration, will celebrate its premiere at the end of 2022 and should enter the mid-range market in 2023. The abbreviation “e-Tron” makes it clear that this is a fully electric model. The Q6 has roughly the dimensions of a current Q5 and is therefore positioned above the Q4 e-Tron, which will be launched in 2021 and uses the modular electric drive kit (MEB).

Even above the Q6, the well-known and larger e-Tron remains in the range. The technical brother of the Q6 will be the upcoming Porsche Macan, the next generation of which is based on PPE (Premium Platform Electric). The advantages of PPE are obvious: flexible combinations of E-components, good space utilization, and no technical compromises, since combustion engines are not provided.

The Audi Q6 e-Tron (2022) is therefore the fully electric counterpart to the Q5, which should continue to use classic engines and hybrid technology in the future. Audi does not yet reveal performance data or range, but it does reveal special features such as 800-volt technology including enormous charging capacities of up to 350 kW.

Audi Q6 E-Tron Dimensions

With a length of around 4.70 meters, the Audi Q6 e-Tron is shorter than the e-Tron, which stretches to 4.90 meters, but offers a lot of space in the interior due to the PPE basis. The e-Tron, on the other hand, is still based on the MLB Evo platform, which was originally developed for combustion engines.

Interior

The Q6 e-Tron’s operating and infotainment system, reduced to a medium-sized touchscreen and compact digital instruments plus head-up display, in combination with intelligent voice control, is more responsive to individual needs and adapts the information content to the driver’s habits: remember and the driving situations. This should lead to less distraction from the driving situation.

On the drive side, the Q6 e-Tron has two electric motors that operate separately from one another on each axle, i.e. a variable Quattro drive. A coupé version of the Q6 is also conceivable: the Sportback versions of the Q4 e-Tron and e-Tron are leading the way.

Audi Q6 E-Tron Price

The price of the Audi Q6 e-Tron (2022) is likely to be below thee-Tron, which starts at 69,100 euros with a 71 kWh battery and 230 kW (313 hp) (as of December 2021).

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
