The 2025 Audi Q6 E-Tron, an electric crossover, is about to introduce a new look inside the car when it launches later this year.
Audi recently gave us a sneak peek at what to expect by revealing the Q6 E-Tron’s interior, following a teaser of the exterior in July. Like many cars nowadays, there’s a curved panel that holds both the 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and the 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen. This setup makes it seem like one big screen. The front passenger gets their own 10.9-inch screen for watching videos, but there’s a “digital blind” to make sure the driver isn’t distracted.
These screens use a new Android-based infotainment system developed by Cariad, Audi’s software division within the Volkswagen Group. It even comes with its own app store. There’s also a voice assistant that can learn your preferences and offer suggestions.
The Q6 E-Tron features a head-up display with augmented-reality elements that show things like your speed, road signs, and navigation directions. These images look like they’re floating about 656 feet in front of the car and interact with the surroundings.
A cool feature is the Interaction Light (IAL), a lightbar at the base of the windshield. It can convey information like the charging status, similar to what you see in Volkswagen EVs with their ID.Light bar.
Audi has incorporated some eco-friendly materials, including recycled polyester, but you can still get more traditional options like wood and leather. There’s also a top-notch 22-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, with four speakers built into the front seat headrests. This creates a personalized sound experience for each passenger.
Underneath it all, the Q6 E-Tron rides on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform, which Audi developed with Porsche. This platform will also be used for the upcoming Macan Electric. The A5 E-Tron, based on the same platform, was teased by the A6 E-Tron Concept.
Audi has hinted that thanks to the PPE platform and 800-volt charging, these electric vehicles (EVs) should be able to charge from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes or less. Audi is also suggesting a strong focus on bidirectional charging in these next-gen models.
Meanwhile, the larger E-Tron is getting a significant update for 2024. It’s even getting a name change to Q8 E-Tron, along with sportier tuning and an improved driving range of up to 300 miles.
