The Audi Q6 e-tron made its global premiere in March 2024 and as announced, a single-motor variant has now been revealed as well. Dubbed as the Audi Q6 e-tron Performance as the electric SUV’s entry variant, it offers a higher claimed range than the other variants.
Features
The Q6 e-tron Performance variant is expected to get many of the features offered on the higher variants, such as a three-screen setup with an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit for the driver, a 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen in the middle and for the passenger a 10.9-inch display with Bang & Olufsen premium 20 speakers system. It can also get a heads-up display unit with Augmented Reality (AR) and ambient lighting, plush interiors with multi-zone climate control and power adjustable front seats.

Audi Q6 e-tron Performance variant will be offered in a rear-wheel-drive configuration with a single motor. Here’s how the specifications stack up against its better variants in terms of range and performance:

Expected launch
The Audi Q6 e-tron is expected to make its way to India sometime in 2025, but we are unlikely to get this new single-motor variant. Like the Audi Q8 e-tron, expect only the dual-motor all-wheel-drive variants only. It will likely be a premium alternative to the likes of the Kia EV6 and Volvo XC40 Recharge.
