The electric revolution is well underway, and as automakers race to release their next generation of electric vehicles (EVs), Audi has given a sneak peek into the future with the 2025 Audi Q6 and SQ6 e-tron prototypes. As we recently had the opportunity to take these prototypes for a test drive, here’s what you can expect from these game-changing vehicles.

Exterior Design

A first glance at the 2025 Audi Q6 and SQ6 e-tron prototypes reveals an unmistakable evolution of Audi’s design language. The sleek, aerodynamic silhouette is accentuated by striking LED lighting elements, large alloy wheels, and futuristic grille designs. The overall result is an aesthetic that screams performance and luxury while staying true to Audi’s commitment to progressive design.

Interior Comfort and Technology

Inside, the cabins of both the Q6 and SQ6 e-tron are designed to pamper occupants with premium materials, comfortable seating surfaces, and cutting-edge technology. The dashboard features a combination of touchscreen displays, haptic-feedback controls, and Audi’s latest Virtual Cockpit setup for an immersive driving experience.

As always, Audi’s commitment to infotainment remains strong, with both models offering an expansive list of standard features including smartphone integration, voice command functionality, wireless charging pads, high-end sound systems for audio enthusiasts, and much more.

Performance & Range

The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron is powered by dual electric motors – one on each axle – that combined produce a respectable output of around 360 horsepower. Thanks to its impressive powertrain configuration, the Q6 e-tron can sprint from 0-60 mph in under five seconds – putting it firmly in the fast lane.

Meanwhile, the hotter 2025 SQ6 e-tron takes performance to even greater heights. Boasting closer to 500 horsepower, this model propels itself from 0-60 mph in an astonishing four seconds or less. Despite its impressive power output, both models are expected to deliver an electric range of approximately 300 miles between charges.

Battery and Charging

Audi’s decision to adopt an 800-volt architecture for its e-tron range means that charging times will be significantly reduced compared to traditional EVs with lower voltage systems. The Q6 and SQ6 e-tron models are said to support fast-charging capability, which will allow them to replenish up to 80% of their battery capacity in under 30 minutes at a compatible high-power charging station.

The Verdict

While final production specifications, pricing, and availability are yet to be announced, it’s clear that Audi is determined to make a mark in the rapidly evolving EV landscape. The 2025 Audi Q6 and SQ6 e-tron prototypes have showcased the automaker’s commitment towards pushing the boundaries of electric mobility.
