Ahead of the official market launch of the new Audi Q6 e-tron in August, Audi has announced a further, particularly efficient powertrain option. With rear-wheel drive and a newly developed lithium-ion battery with a total gross capacity of 100 kWh (94.9 kWh net), the Audi Q6 e-tron performance has a range of up to 641 kilometers according to the WLTP standard.

This performance puts it at the top of the Q6 e-tron family. The scalable Premium Platform Electric (PPE) also demonstrates its flexibility with the first pure rear-wheel drive variant. The new Audi Q6 SUV e-tron performance can be ordered now starting at 68,800 euros.

The Audi Q6 e-tron marks the start of a new generation of electrically powered vehicles at Audi. At the world premiere in March of this year, the brand with the four rings presented two variants of the new model: the Audi Q6 e-tron quattro, which offers typical Audi performance with a system output of 285 kW, and the sporty SQ6 e-tron with a system output including the additional function of 380 kW.

A further variant is now available for order: the Audi Q6 e-tron performance model with rear-wheel drive. A compact permanent magnet synchronous motor (PSM) provides a system output of 240 kW when the extra function is activated and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds.

This makes the Audi Q6 e-tron performance an attractive choice for customers who not only want an extended range, dynamic performance, and suitability for everyday use, but also for short charging stops. With a range of up to 641 kilometers according to WLTP, the Audi Q6 e-tron performance is one of the models with the longest range in its segment.

Delivery is scheduled for the third quarter of this year. Deliveries of the Audi Q6 e-tron quattro and Audi SQ6 e-tron versions to customers are scheduled to begin in August.
