Audi Sq6 E-Tron News

Audi has slashed the price on one of its EVs in Australia, in a win for buyers.  The Audi Q6 e-tron electric mid-size SUV now starts from $89,900 (before on-road costs) - $10,000 reduction on the previous model. That means the base version is now eligible for the full FBT exemption until April 1 next year, when it reduces to just a 25 per cent FBT exemption. It also skirts under the Luxury Car Tax threshold. The SQ6 e-tron performance SUV has seen an even steeper price drop of more than $20,000, with it now starting from $129,900, compared to $151,400.  Coupe variants are available from $134,900, down from $156,400, which is a $21,500 reduction as well.  Updated pricing sees the 2027 Q6 e-tron priced from the same as the BMW iX3 ($89,900) and substantially cheaper than the Porsche Macan ($129,800).  A sport edition variant of the currently 2026 model Q6 e-tron is available from $95,900 (drive-away) on cars ordered until October 2026.  The sport edition variant is available from now until October 2026, with deliveries on the new Q6 e-tron and SQ6 e-tron beginning in 2027.  The Audi Q6 e-tron comes with a single electric motor, producing up to 215kW and 450Nm to the rear wheels. It’s equipped with an 83kWh battery, offering a driving range of up to 485km, according to WLTP standards.  The SQ6 e-tron adds another electric motor and all-wheel drive, boosting performance to 380kW and 855Nm, meaning the car can sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.3 seconds.  The car uses a bigger 100kWh battery to offer a driving range of 586km (WLTP).  Both variants are capable of DC charging at more than 200kW, with a 10-80 per cent charge taking roughly 20 minutes. The Q6 can charge at 225kW, while the SQ6 can charge at 270kW. Both variants get an 11.9-inch digital driver display and 14.5-inch curved central touchscreen, along with a 10.9-inch passenger touchscreen as standard. All variants ride on 20-inch alloy wheels as standard, but the SQ6 e-tron shows off 21-inch examples.  The car is fitted with sports seats wrapped in leather-appointed upholstery, with the front ones electrically adjustable and heated.  It comes as standard with a 10-speaker audio system that is upgraded to a 16-speaker unit in the SQ6 e-tron that also adds a head-up display.  The Q6 e-tron features a black exterior styling package as standard that sees front and rear bumpers painted in black. All variants are covered by a five-year/unlimited-kilometre manufacturers warranty, as well as a 12-year warranty against corrosion perforation.
