Both models will be displayed for the first time at the Sydney International EV Show. From November 8-10 at the Sydney International Convention Centre.

A new era in Audi’s electric mobility
As the first models built on Audi’s Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the Audi Q6 e-tron and SQ6 e-tron represent Audi’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and future mobility. There will be three variants of the Q6 e-tron SUV range available at launch in early 2025: the Q6 SUV Performance (rear-wheel drive), Q6 SUV quattro, and the high-performance SQ6 SUV. This lineup will ensure that Australian customers have access to a range of options that cater to different driving preferences and needs ahead of the Sportback body-style version of the SUV which is not due to arrive to Australia until later in 2025. Each variant is designed to deliver a unique driving experience, from the balanced and efficient rear-wheel drive Performance model to the versatile and capable quattro, and the exhilarating SQ6.
The Q6 e-tron range is powered by an advanced 100 kWh battery and 800-volt architecture, delivering seamless power with efficiency at its core. With charging speeds of up to 270 kW (260 kW for the Q6 e-tron performance and 270 kW for the Q6 e-tron quattro and SQ6 e-tron), drivers can boost their range by 255 km^ in just 10 minutes at compatible fast-charging stations, while a full charge from 10 to 80% takes only 21 minutes.
The Q6 e-tron quattro, designed for versatile everyday performance, has 285kW of power enabling a sprint from 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. The rear-wheel drive Q6 e-tron performance has 225 kW of power, boosted to 240 kW when used with launch control mode for a 6.6 second 0-100 km/h dash. In contrast, the high-performance SQ6 e-tron takes electric power to new heights with a dual-motor setup delivering up to 380 kW, propelling the SQ6 e-tron from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds with launch control mode.
