by AutoExpert | 4 September, 2023
Audi recently lifted the veil on the 2025 Q6 E-Tron's interior, following its exterior preview last July during the first prototype drive.
Why the Audi Q6 E-Tron is a Milestone for the Brand
The Q6 E-Tron has significance for Audi in multiple ways. Firstly, it comfortably fits between the Q4 e-tron and the Q8 e-tron in terms of size, closely resembling the ever-popular Q5. This strategic positioning enhances its market prospects.
Secondly, this electric SUV marks Audi's inaugural venture into the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), a collaborative effort with Porsche. Coupled with the newly introduced E3 electronics framework, these features set the stage for the Q6 E-Tron to make a significant impact on the EV market.
A Cabin Designed with the User in Mind
The first look at the Q6 E-Tron’s high-tech cabin reveals it as an amalgamation of form and function. Audi has made calculated choices in the architecture and technology of the interior, achieving an ideal balance between aesthetic appeal, technological prowess, and environmental sustainability.
The Future is Now: State-of-the-Art Displays
The vehicle's interior is visually distinguished by a 3D design layout. Dominating this space is what Audi terms the "digital stage," comprised of an 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit and a 14.5-inch MMI touch display. The eye-catching OLED displays are the centerpieces of the front cabin.
Adding a twist is a 10.9-inch front passenger display neatly integrated into the dashboard. Active privacy mode ensures that the passenger can enjoy entertainment without causing any distraction to the driver. It can also be utilized for navigation assistance.
Augmented Reality and Voice Assistants
A notable add-on is the optional augmented reality (AR) head-up display, projecting essential data onto the windshield for the driver's convenience.
An avatar represents Audi's voice assistant, now enhanced by AI. It learns from the user's habits to provide intelligent support. This technology is part of the new E3 electronics platform that interconnects various vehicle functions.
Practicality Meets Elegance
The PPE platform contributes to the vehicle's roominess, with ample storage options available. For instance, the center console features cup holders, phone charging areas, and additional USB ports. The absence of a center tunnel offers extra legroom, while the rear seats are as comfy as they get.
The trunk provides 18.6 cubic feet of space, extendable to 54 cu ft when the rear seats are folded. Audi's commitment to luxury and quality is evident in the materials used in the interior, ranging from recycled to traditional luxury elements.
Audi aims to fully launch the Q6 E-Tron in 2024 as a 2025 model.
