is more than an electric midsize luxury SUV. It represents the future of Audi and of the larger Volkswagen Group both mechanically and spiritually. Audi has not been living up to its potential in recent years, and the Q6 embodies a renewed commitment to the brand's long-time mantra of "Vorsprung durch Technik," which is a rallying call for progress and leadership through technology.
Hallmarks include in-house power systems and 800-volt technology for faster charging, as well as a new digital cockpit with a sea of screens. The interior is dominated by the Audi MMI second-generation curved OLED panoramic display and Audi's first passenger-side dash display. There is an 11.9-inch Virtual Cockpit in front of the driver and a 14.5-inch MMI touchscreen. The additional 10.9-inch passenger screen has a privacy mode, so movie-watching does not distract the driver. There is a physical volume button, but everything else is by touch; Audi reduced the number of haptic knobs.
The E3 1.2 electronic architecture can be updated and upgraded. It consists of five connected domain computers to cover all vehicle functions for driving, including infotainment, safety, and comfort. It allows many functions to be transferred from the sensor-actuator level to the computer level, decoupling hardware and software and making it possible to eliminate some of the hardware. It is scalable for use across the VW Group.
Audi says it has the world's first active digital light signature with its matrix lights debuting on the Q6 E-Tron. Controlled by one of the five computers on board, the six panels in the rear OLED lights have 360 segments—little squares—that change their pattern every 10 milliseconds. Up front, there are 12 segments that display patterns.
There is an induction motor on the front axle—with no magnets it is less costly and good for 188 horsepower and 203 lb-ft of torque.
