The new 2025 Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron is the sloppy and slippery version of the SUV launched early this year with the same name.
Th 2025 Q6 e-tron is a lot more aero-friendly than the boxy SUV models due to a 1.4-inch lower height and a 0.26 coefficient of drag. The lower roofline eats into less than 1 cubic foot of storage, not a dealbreaker by any means.
The base rear-wheel drive version, but it can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in a respectable 7 seconds with Launch Control. The RWD Q6 Sportback E-Tron Performance delivers 301 horsepower and can hit 62 mph in 6.6 seconds.
The dual motor AWD is where the thing gets a bit more lively. The Q6 Sportback E-Tron Quattro has 382 hp, achieving 62 mph in just 5.9 seconds with Launch Control. The high-end SQ6 takes it up a notch with a dual-motor setup offering 482 hp and a blistering 0-62 mph time of 4.3 seconds, all while maintaining a range of 377 miles.
Both Sportback models are based on the PPE powertrain and have two battery sizes. The smaller battery has (83 kWh gross), while the larger one packs a punch with 94.9 kWh.
If you go for the rear-wheel drive with the entry-level battery, you can expect a rather optimistic claimed range of 338 miles on a full charge. For those craving more power, the dual-motor all-wheel drive version with the larger battery can push that range up to 407 miles. Expect these numbers to be a bit more fair as EPA gets its hands on them
