AUDI is announcing a further variant for the new Q6 SUV e-tron line-up ahead of the official market launch in August.

With rear-wheel drive and a 100 kWh lithium-ion battery the Audi Q6 SUV e-tron performance has a class-leading range of up to 392 miles.

That puts it at the top of the Q6 SUV e-tron family when it comes to electric range.

Earlier in 2024 Audi revealed the Audi Q6 SUV e-tron quattro, which has a system output of 388ps, and the SQ6 SUV e-tron with a system output of 490ps or up to 517ps with launch control engaged.

The Q6 SUV e-tron performance has a charging capability of up to 260 kW. At a suitable fast charging station, it is possible to add 161 miles of driving range in 10 minutes.

Customer deliveries are planned for the third quarter of this year while he first deliveries of the Audi Q6 SUV e-tron quattro and Audi SQ6 SUV e-tron are scheduled to begin in August.

Later in the summer, an entry-level variant called Q6 SUV e-tron, also featuring rear-wheel drive, will be added to line-up.
