• The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron’s inner debuts with monitors galore and an to be had head-up show that augments truth.
• Predictably, the interior of Audi’s upcoming EV SUV additionally closely options sustainable fabrics.
• The Q6 e-tron boasts 19 cubic toes of shipment room in the back of the rear seats; that area expands to 54 cubes with the second one row stowed.

Audi has published the interior of the 2025 Q6 e-tron, the emblem’s first EV that can be constructed on its new Top class Platform Electrical (PPE) structure. Necessarily, it is the type that units the tone for Audi’s long run, and that long run seems to function a dashboard devoted to presentations, amongst different tech-centric content material.

First Glance Within

Someone who had was hoping screen-packed interiors had been simply a fad must most probably put that dream to mattress. The Q6 e-tron is the most recent instance of the place new-car cabins are heading, with no longer one, no longer two, however 3 monitors going through its occupants. The OLED gauge cluster and infotainment touchscreen measure 11.9- and 14.5-inches, respectively, and each live beneath a unmarried curved bezel that is underlined through ambient lights. Every other 10.9-inch touchscreen is devoted to the front-seat passenger, and it has some way of blockading the motive force’s view of its contents, in step with protection laws.

With the Q6 e-tron, Audi introduces new Android-based infotainment instrument, which brings what the corporate calls a “self-learning voice assistant.” Just like with Mercedes’s MBUX machine, Q6 customers can summon the bogus intelligence through pronouncing, “Good day, Audi.” The total extent of the voice assistant’s skillset is unknown, however Audi claims it will probably do the whole thing from be informed a motive force’s personal tastes and make tips. How lengthy will it take the AI to be told that we adore the local weather set to 69 levels, the ventilated seats activated, and the heated steerage wheel on? We are to determine.

Taking Audi’s in-car era additional is an non-compulsory head-up show with augmented truth. When the SUV’s pace, navigation instructions, or visitors indicators are mirrored onto the windshield, their photographs are tilted ahead to create the impact they are floating in entrance of the automobile. Audi claims this is helping cut back distractions, specifically in low-visibility scenarios. Alternatively, that’ll be for person drivers to make a decision.

Ambient lights is every other polarizing inner function that is proliferating amongst new vehicles (for my part, this writer loves the theatrics). The Q6 e-tron, in fact, provides customizable colours, nevertheless it additionally has interactive lights components reminiscent of a welcome motion and the power to inform other people when the automobile is locked and unlocked. Different neat methods come with mimicking the flip alerts and visualizing the EV’s charging ranges. Neat, proper?

Q6 Vs. Q5 Shipment House

The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron’s external dimensions are mentioned to be very similar to the gas-powered Q5 SUV. We drove a prototype within the mystical land referred to as the Faroe Islands the place that dimension comparability felt suitable. Whilst Audi hasn’t but launched the Q6’s complete inner measurements, it did disclose the EV’s shipment area. There is 19 cubic toes in the back of the second one row; fold the ones seats flat and that house grows to 54 cubes. When put next with the Q5, the latter determine is the same to the max shipment capability, whilst the previous is 7 cubic toes smaller. No less than the e-tron’s entrance truck contributes a separate 2 cubes. It is conceivable the variation may be made up with extra general passenger area within the Q6.

Giving the Q6 e-tron’s inner a better glance will disclose its squared-off steerage wheel, which is flat at the most sensible and backside and hosts a host of touch-sensitive controls. Whilst we admire the bodily quantity knob, we are much less delighted concerning the loss of actual buttons and switches somewhere else. As an example, the door panels have a plasticky panel of capacitive controls for the locks, lighting fixtures, mirrors, and reminiscence seat settings. Thank you, however no thank you.

Some other people will be capable of glance previous the ones main points and others can be dissatisfied. Ultimate judgements may also be made as soon as the Audi Q6 e-tron and the higher-performance SQ6 variant hit the streets someday subsequent 12 months.
