Audi Q6 2022: Offered for sale in the Chinese market

What was speculatively traded as the Audi Q9 now turns out to be an Audi Q6 manufactured exclusively for China, which competes with the Mercedes GLS and the BMW X7, among others. There are no pictures of the interior yet, but first technical data.

We have been reporting here for a long time about a possible  Audi Q9 2022. Now it turns out: In fact, the mocked Erlkönig is called the Audi Q6 and is an SUV that is probably positioned above the Q7 and is correspondingly larger exclusively for China. Images of the design patent application show the vehicle for the first time without camouflage.

And as expected, we see a boxy SUV that is very similar to the VW Teramont sold in China – in the USA it is called VW Atlas – and is based on the same platform, the modular transverse matrix (MQB). This also makes it clear: This newcomer has nothing in common with the purely electric Q6 e-Tron announced for Europe, neither in terms of size nor technically. Instead, the design: the strong brand identity that is in demand in China is symbolized by a large single-frame radiator grille flanked by narrow headlights.

Audi Q6 2022 PRICE & SPECIFICATIONS

The interior of the Audi Q6 (2022) should offer a similar amount of space as the competition like the BMW X7 or Mercedes GLS and has four individual seats in the rear available as an option. Corresponding images do not yet exist. Standard are three rows of seats with seven seats. Anyone who expected large-volume engines with six or more cylinders given the size and classification of the SUV will be disappointed given the technical data known in March 2022.

For the time being, the newcomer from the Far East is to be powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 265 hp (195 kW) or 231 hp (170 kW), which transfers its power to the road via the Quattro all-wheel drive and thus all four wheels bring. The top speed is 207 km/h. The MQB would offer the possibility to include a VR6 in the range of engines for the Audi Q6 (2022). But that is just as little to be expected as a plug-in hybrid drive. A price for the Audi Q6 (2022) is not yet known, and a market launch in Europe is most likely impossible.

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
