Audi has officially announced that the new all-electric Q6 e-tron will be unveiled on 18 March.

Although all the details of the Audi Q6 e-tron have not been revealed yet, a prototype was recently spotted which gave us a glimpse of its exterior. And the interior features and some advanced features have been revealed by the manufacturer itself.

The design of the Q6 e-tron has some interesting features, including a fully enclosed grille and headlights for which you will be able to choose from eight digital light signatures to display the daytime running lights design of your choice.

The interior features high-tech elements such as an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.5-inch infotainment system that are powered by Android Automotive. The crossover can also be equipped with a 10.9-inch front passenger display with a driver-side dimming function.

Other features include an augmented reality display that projects information, such as driving directions, in such a way that from the driver's perspective it appears to appear 200 metres in front of the car. The car can also be fitted with a Bang & Olufsen premium audio system with 22 speakers and an interaction light bar that girdles the top of the dashboard and visualises information such as turn signals and charging status.

Like the Porsche Macan EV, the Q6 e-tron is built on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) electric platform. It features a 100 kWh battery with 270 kW DC fast charging capability, which will allow the car to charge from 10 to 80 per cent in less than 30 minutes.

The battery will power an all-wheel drive system with two engines, totalling around 380 hp (280 kW). The model's WLTP range should be 600 kilometres.

Buyers wanting more power can look forward to the SQ6 with 490 hp (360 kW). The boost function temporarily increases power and enables acceleration to 100 km/h in less than 4.5 seconds.

Sales of the new Q6 E-tron are due to start in the second half of the year. According to preliminary estimates, it will be more affordable compared to the new Porsche Macan EV, whose price starts from 84,100 euros in Germany.
