What’s New for the 2027 Audi Q6 e-tron
The Audi Q6 e-tron midsize electric SUV lineup gets a bunch of intriguing updates for 2027, including an updated infotainment interface and additional comfort and convenience features. The new interface and updated voice recognition system simplify menus and reduce driver distraction. A new integrated dashcam offers better security, and the new Power Nap mode makes public charging stops more comfortable.
Design
The Q6 e-tron features a traditional midsize SUV profile that lets its EV status fly largely under the radar, while the Q6 Sportback e-tron offers a sportier sloped roofline that's visually interesting but adds cost and compromises practicality with reduced cargo capacity. Regardless of the body style, both versions are lovely, with standard 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, black roof rails and exterior trim, and a range of sophisticated yet muted colors.
Powertrain
The Audi Q6 e-tron features a dual-motor powertrain and a 94.4-kWh battery pack, delivering 456 peak horsepower, when launch control is engaged, with a single-speed transmission and all-wheel drive (AWD). The Q6 e-tron is estimated to have up to 325 miles of range with its standard 19-inch wheels, and can charge from 10 to 80% in about 21 minutes. The Q6 e-tron is available with new selectable driving modes and an adaptive air suspension system.
Interior
The Q6 e-tron seats five regardless of body style. Standard features include leather upholstery, heated front seats, an updated four-spoke multifunction steering wheel, LED ambient lighting, wood and aluminum trim, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a hands-free power liftgate. Options include heated rear seats and dynamic ambient lighting. Cargo space is about average for the class, with the standard Q6 e-tron offering 30.2 cubic feet behind the second row, and 60.4 cubic feet with that seat folded down. For the Sportback, those numbers are 18 and 48.5 cubic feet, respectively.
Technology
The 2027 Q6 e-tron lineup features an overhauled infotainment interface with fewer menus to improve response times and reduce driver distraction, and the voice recognition system has also been updated for a better, more intuitive user experience. The Q6 e-tron lineup comes standard with the Audi Virtual Cockpit customizable digital instrument display and an 11.9-inch touchscreen. Options include an augmented reality head-up display, a 10.9-inch front passenger touchscreen, a premium Bang & Olufsen surround-sound audio system, and Audi’s new Power Nap feature, which transforms the vehicle into a relaxing cocoon during extended waits, such as when using a public charger.
