Audi has unveiled the interior of the 2025 Q6 e-tron after previewing the model's exterior design in July during the prototype's first drive event. It's the brand's first model based on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), co-developed with Porsche, and the new E3 electronics architecture. The Q6 E-Tron is similar in size to the Q5 and sits between the Q4 e-tron and Q8 e-tron in the brand's EV lineup.

According to Audi, the interior is more closely tailored to the needs of the user than ever before and has been reimagined with this in mind. The cabin features a layout that deliberately places elements in the foreground or background, creating a 3D spatial architecture that combines aesthetics and ergonomics.
The cabin is dominated by what Audi calls the "digital stage," which includes the free-standing Audi MMI panoramic display and the MMI passenger display. The former features a curved design and OLED technology and consists of the 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit and the 14.5-inch MMI touch display.
The front passenger also gets a 10.9-inch display that fits snugly into the dashboard design. Thanks to an active privacy mode with shutter technology, the passenger can watch movies undisturbed without distracting the driver, or assist the driver with navigation, for example.
Audi also offers an optional augmented reality (AR) head-up display (HUD) for the Q6 e-tron, which projects a large, tilted image plane across the windshield to the driver, showing relevant information such as speed, traffic signs, and assistance and navigation icons.

The tech fest continues with the Interaction Light (IAL), which wraps the interior and cockpit in a curved LED strip that performs three main functions: vehicle status, safety (it visualizes the dynamic turn signals), and charging status.
The new E3 electronics platform also enables the Q6 e-tron to offer a fully connected digital interior, with various functions intelligently linked. For example, users can control many vehicle functions using Audi's self-learning voice assistant, represented for the first time by an avatar in the dashboard and the augmented reality head-up display.
Activated with the phrase "Hey Audi," the digital assistant continuously learns from the user's behavior to provide the best possible support, offering proactive suggestions, smart routines and intelligent lists.
At the same time, the electric SUV introduces a new infotainment platform based on Android Automotive and developed with Volkswagen Group software company Cariad.

The practicality of the Q6 e-tron is also said to benefit from the PPE platform, with the electric SUV offering a spacious interior with many different storage spaces and trays. For example, the center console features two cup holders, a mobile phone charging tray and two smartphone charging ports. The vehicle also offers extra legroom since there's no center tunnel, and the rear center seat is described as "very comfortable."
The trunk offers 526 liters of storage space, which increases to 1,529 liters with the rear seats folded. Speaking of the rear seats, they fold individually in a 40:20:40 split. The front trunk adds 64 liters of storage space, enough for a mobile charger and smaller travel bags.
Audi is known for the quality of its interiors, and the Q6 e-tron should be no exception. The automaker says the materials used were selected with functionality and sustainability in mind, with recycled materials including Dinamica microfiber, Elastic Melange fabric and Econyl.
Depending on the trim level, the cabin also features materials such as fine Nappa leather with diamond stitching, sweetgum and birch wood trim, and brushed aluminum.
Audi expects the Q6 E-Tron to be fully revealed sometime in 2024 and go on sale later that year as a 2025 model.
