Very Good

For an all-electric small luxury SUV, the 2027 Audi Q6 E-tron is quick, quiet and comfortable. We also like that it offers an expansive list of features and is reasonably priced. However, some usability issues and a generic driving experience keep it from being the ultimate winner in its class.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Jared Gall

Updated: 11/8/2026

What the heck is an Audi Q6 E-tron? It's a fair question, especially because Audi's current naming structure tends to be confusing. This is Audi's relatively new all-electric small SUV that debuted for the 2025 model year. It's bigger than Audi's Q4 E-tron and analogous to the gas-powered Q5. It also features Audi's latest EV technology allowing for speedy charging at public fast-charging stations and more than 300 miles of range.

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Gabriel Vega Cortés

Very Good

7.7

out of 10

We drove the 2027 Audi Q6 e-tron on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

8/10

How does it drive? The Audi Q6 E-tron is part of a growing family of electric luxury SUVs that are impressively quick. At our test track, it managed to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. That's slightly slower than a Tesla Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive did in our testing (4.2 seconds) but ahead of a base Porsche Macan EV. Unfortunately, the Q6 E-tron didn't excel in our braking test, taking 128 feet to come to a stop from 60 mph. That's a longer distance than the results of most rival EVs.

The Audi delivers a fairly generic driving experience most of the time. But we suspect a lot of buyers will be OK with that. We do like the Q6 E-tron's impressively smooth ride. Our test vehicle was a Prestige trim with the fancy adjustable air suspension, so we'd expect as much. Still, the Q6 E-tron has no trouble gliding over big and small road imperfections, and that isn't something all of its competitors can claim.

Outward visibility is decent thanks to large windows, and the available surround-view camera system helps in parking situations. The Q6 E-tron's list of driver aids is long, and the features that were on board our test vehicle worked well during our testing.

Comfort

6.6/10

How comfortable is it? Like most premium EVs at this price point, the Audi Q6 E-tron excels thanks to a cabin that's spacious, quiet, and easy to get in and out of. While its front seats are a little on the flat side, they proved reasonably comfortable during our testing. Its second row is a slight downgrade compared to the front seats, though rear legroom is still more generous than in a Porsche Macan EV. This also helps when installing a rear-facing car seat, which won't encroach on those sitting up front. You get LATCH points on the two outer rear seats and top tethers on all three rear seats, which is pretty much standard for SUVs in this class.

That said, it struggles with usability. It packs a bunch of its vital controls into one panel mounted on the driver's side door. Trimmed in glossy plastic, it's a smudge magnet and distracting to use. Whether you want to make a quick sideview mirror adjustment or any other minor change, you'll find yourself looking down to make sure you're pressing the right thing, taking your eyes off the road. While the Q6 E-tron's A/C system is plenty powerful, having to use a touchscreen to adjust it is a real bummer, especially for an SUV meant to be a premium product.

In-cabin tech

9/10

How’s the tech? The Q6 E-tron's screen layout incorporates an 11.9-inch instrument cluster, a 14.5-inch central display, and a 10.9-inch passenger screen, and Audi's infotainment software makes great use of the available screen real estate. Its graphics are crisp, and our drivers found the menus reasonably easy to navigate with only a modest learning curve. This Audi also scores well for device integration thanks to wireless smartphone connectivity, a wireless charging tray, and the option to use a digital key.

Storage & cargo

8.3/10

How’s storage and cargo? Storage in the Q6 E-tron is a particular highlight. While the Audi and the Porsche Macan EV share the same basic dimensions and electric hardware, the Audi offers more cargo space at 30.2 cubic feet behind the rear seats. Fold the second row (it offers a 40/20/40 configuration) and you get a maximum of 60.2 cubic feet. A Mercedes EQE SUV is slightly smaller, while a Tesla Model Y is slightly more spacious. That said, the Q6 E-tron's small-item storage is highlighted by the ability to keep things out of sight, thanks to a rolling cover on the center console.

Like the Macan EV, the Q6 E-tron can tow up to 4,409 pounds when properly equipped, beating out pretty much every other competitor in its class.

Value

6.5/10

Is it a good value? When shopping for a luxury electric SUV at this price point, you'll find that this Audi and its rivals from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Cadillac and Porsche offer pretty much all of the same equipment as optional extras. You can expect to pay a similar sum for competitors from other makes, except the Macan EV, which carries a premium, and the Lyriq, which gets away at a slightly lower cost. The Q6 E-tron struggled in our evaluation of interior build quality because of its glossy black-trimmed cabin, which picked up every smudge and scratch imaginable.

Its four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty is just average. Audi covers its battery pack for eight years/100,000 miles.

Range/Efficiency/Charging

8.5/10

How are the range and efficiency? The EPA-estimated range of 301 miles is pretty decent to start with, but the Q6 E-tron proved it had more to give in our independent Edmunds EV Range Test, traveling 337 miles on a single charge. You can expect similar results from its direct competitors. While its EPA-estimated consumption of 35 kWh of electricity used for every 100 miles of driving is just average, we measured a more efficient 29.3 kWh/100 miles in our testing. (Remember that unlike mpg, the lower the efficiency number, the better.)

This Audi gets ahead with an impressive 676 mph charging speed in our testing, which is quicker than a Mercedes-Benz EQE, meaning it'll top up its battery pack fairly quickly when hooked up to a fast charger. In our testing, it added 100 miles of range in a bit less than 9 minutes.

X factor

5/10

The Audi Q6 E-tron's greatest strength is also its biggest weakness. It generally does everything well, from its comfortable ride to its quiet cabin to its smooth driving experience. But it's also far from the most memorable luxury EV. Its interior is decently well built but not particularly distinctive. While you'll struggle to point out what this SUV particularly fails at, you also won't easily find what makes it a true Audi product. It's just a bit generic.

Buying Tips for the 2027 Audi Q6 e-tron for November

Audi shoppers are seeing about $3,000 off sticker on the 2027 Q6 e-tron, but the bigger story is that supply is still fairly limited and these new SUVs are moving slower than the overall market.

Buyers are paying less than MSRP, with Edmunds pricing showing about $3,000 off sticker on average and no general customer cash rebates to stack on top. Discounts are pretty consistent across the lineup, though the Premium Plus trim looks like the slight value leader at just under 5% off MSRP.
There are 595 new Q6 e-trons nationwide, which is enough to shop around but not enough to call supply plentiful. Premium Plus makes up most of the inventory, so it should be the easiest trim to find and compare across dealers.
New Q6 e-trons are taking about 52 days to sell, versus 18 days for the average new vehicle, which points to softer demand. That gives you a decent case to press for a bigger discount, especially on in-stock units that have been sitting.
If you lease, expect roughly $1,200 a month with about $7,100 due at signing on a 36-month, 12,000-mile plan. The base Premium trim leases lower at about $1,100 a month, so it may be the smarter play if payment matters most.

2027 Audi Q6 e-tron trim level differences

The 2027 Audi Q6 E-tron is a small luxury electric SUV available in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus and Prestige. Two electric motors power each, providing all-wheel drive and 422 horsepower. A launch control function can temporarily boost output to 456 hp. A battery pack with 94.4 kWh of usable capacity enables an estimated range of 310 miles with the standard 19-inch wheels or 295 miles with the optional 20-inch wheels. Compare the 2027 Audi Q6 e-tron trim levels in-depth.

Trim we recommend

We suggest getting the midlevel Premium Plus. It nets meaningful luxury, comfort and tech improvements for a reasonable upcharge. Compared to the entry-level Premium trim, it adds worthwhile extras such as a panoramic sunroof, heated front and rear seats, and a 360-degree camera system.

Competitors to consider

Remember how we were saying that Audi's lineup is confusing? That's partially because Audi also sells the Q6 Sportback E-tron (it's the same SUV, just with a sloped roofline), the SQ6 E-tron (the same SUV, just with sportier performance), and then the Sportback version of the SQ6 E-tron. You could easily consider any of them as part of your search. Other notable options for an electric luxury SUV include the Porsche Macan Electric — it's mechanically related to the Q6 E-tron — and two all-new models, the electric BMW iX3 and the electric version of the 2027 Mercedes-Benz GLC.

Edmunds spotlight: Minor changes for 2027

For the 2027 Q6 E-tron — Audi skipped the 2026 model year — Audi has discontinued the single-motor version, meaning every Q6 E-tron now has dual electric motors and all-wheel drive. Inside, Audi added new graphics for the digital instrument panel and infotainment system and says controls and functions are easier to find and use than before. There's also a new scroll wheel on the steering wheel (it should be easier to use than the previous touch-sensitive controller) and a revised one-pedal driving mode that brings the vehicle to a complete stop after you lift off the accelerator for regenerative braking.

A lot potential but not fully baked

SoCal EV Fan, 04/07/2025

2025 Audi Q6 e-tron Premium Plus 4dr SUV (electric DD)

I had a Q5 coming off lease in July, but with the tariff threat making the car market uncertain I decided to lease a Q6 and lock in my deal now. If the market were like it always has been, would I have chosen the Q6? Honestly, maybe, maybe not. Here are the pros after a week of driving: - This is overall a very comfortable, quiet car to drive. We also have a 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 … Limited RWD that I absolutely love (and I likely would have gone for a '25 if not for the tariffs), but I have to admit in terms of comfort and composure, the Audi is a step up, as it should be based on the price. - The 800 volt architecture allows very fast charging and having AC chargers on both sides of the car is a really nice convenience. You can also see battery temperature in the dash which could be useful in cold climates. The range seems solid too, around 300 miles. Note the Ioniq also offers the 800 volt architecture but not the two charge ports - and while it does now have NACS (the Tesla plug), it is on the wrong side. The DC port on the Audi is on the left side, so once it gets NACS access, it will be more compatible with Superchargers. - I am 6'2" with broad shoulders and size 14 feet. I have gravitated toward VWs/Audis because for whatever reason they tend to be the most comfortable for me and the Q6 fits the bill. It's a little roomier inside than the Q5. I have plenty of head and legroom. - This is not a sporty car by any means but it feels more confident and like it has higher limits than the Hyundai especially on twisty roads. The 20 inch wheels and massive 285 rear tires are probably why. It's also a bit more nimble and easier to drive in tight parking parking lots. - The camera system is fantastic. Absolutely get the surround view camera system. It doesn't have the 'drone' view where you can circle around the car but the picture is clearer than I have in the Hyundai or the Q5. - Power is decent in the RWD. I don't need Quattro and I would prefer the range, but you do sacrifice that extra EV punch. - Cargo room in the back is solid (30 cubic feet) and it does have a small but usable frunk - The infotainment/dashboard screens are large, bright and have great resolution. - The augmented reality heads-up display works well and is useful. Plus, I can even see it with polarized sunglasses which is a rarity. Now for the downsides... - I haven't had any serious glitches so far but if you go to Reddit you do see people have infotainment and other issues. This is a very new platform and vehicle and I'm concerned that the kinks have not been fully worked out. - The infotainment looks great, especially the native nav, but it doesn't feel fully baked. I am never fully sure if Sirius XM will turn on automatically like it has in every car I have owned for the last 18 years. Sometimes it does, sometimes you have to cycle through the audio inputs to get it working. It's odd and annoying. - You can no longer show the nav in the driver's screen like the old Audi system. They actually reduced the customization of the driver's screen which is kind of a shame. - The touch controls on the steering wheel can be annoying. I wish they had a setting to only allow an action to take place if you physically pressed the button. - You can use the steering wheel paddles to adjust regen on the fly but the only way you can do do one-pedal driving is with the 'B' gear selected. The regen is really aggressive this way and I don't love using it. In the Ioniq, you can get max regen by pressing and holding the paddle which is really useful. It actually makes driving the car more engaging and I wish Audi let you do this. - The only way you can see track/artist info is when you have the radio in the full MMI screen. Otherwise you get channel/album art but the actual text. This is stupid and should be updated - Too much piano black plastic. I miss the metal trim that my 2017 A4 had. Also, the big blank piano black space where the passenger screen goes on the Prestige is really cheesy. 90% of these won't have that screen. Audi should have done better. - Cooled seats are still an option (I don't have) on a $70k+ car. My Ioniq has them. I live in a warm climate and would appreciate them. - It WILL take you some time to get set up and dialed in on this one. I hope over-the-air updates will address some of the quirks/bugs. Overall I do think this car can be great, but Audi needs to get the details right, especially on the MMI/infotainment. Tech is what really sells this car so the tech better work flawlessly. Right now I can't say that. The luxury side is basically there, just maybe with the next refresh please ditch the piano black and give some brighter color options.

Defective 2025 Q6 Issues & Bad Customer Service

2025 Audi Q6 e-tron Prestige 4dr SUV (electric DD)

I have been a loyal customer to Audi for the last 8 years. I recently leased a 2025 Audi Q6 (March 2025), and I'm astonished by the lack of customer service and quality. As soon as I signed the contract, I was informed by the dealer (Audi Keyes - Sherman Oaks, CA) that car had an issue that prevented me from driving out with it. I was like, how is this possible?
