A new model in the Audi electric car range will open for orders soon with first Irish deliveries to customers in the summer, writes Brian Byrne.
The Q6 e-tron is the first production model on a new dedicated premium platform for electric cars developed in association with sister brand in the VW Group Porsche.
With a claimed range of up to 625km from its 96kWh battery system, the Q6 e-tron will initially be available in two AWD versions, with RWD variants coming afterwards. The Q6 e‑tron quattro accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds, while the SQ 6 e‑tron takes just 4.3 seconds.
The SUV-format cars will also feature new lighting systems. The interior is a re-imagined focus on the needs of driver and passengers, with the driver area and instrumentation designed in a curve while the front passenger can operate a display of their own with a technology that doesn't distract the driver.
Audi in Ireland had a quarter of the premium segment market in 2023.
