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.

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.
