Last summer, we had a brief chance to drive the new Audi Q6 e-tron in the Faroe Islands. It was a good tease of what to expect, though details and technological developments were somewhat scarce. After attending a deep dive into these aspects in Munich, it's clear this latest EV from Audi is a solid all-electric SUV, though it doesn't really break much new ground. Instead, it increases efficiencies throughout the drivetrain while adding some notable tech improvements.
The lithium-ion battery pack has a capacity of 100 kWh , though other markets will also get a smaller 83 kWh capacity battery. The physical difference between the two comes down to a 12-module pack and 10 modules for the 83-kWh battery. Those modules are pulled from the center sections of the same pack to maintain a consistent weight distribution. This modularity allows Audi to produce them on the same assembly line, saving money as a result of this flexibility.
The rear motor is the first to activate when accelerating from a stop, with the front motor contributing additional power shortly thereafter. When lifting off the accelerator, brake regeneration is also a two-step process, with the rear motor switching over first. When more aggressive braking is required, the front brake pads activate first for maximum stopping power.
Getting back to efficiencies, keeping components cool is another contributor. The motors are kept from overheating with circulating fluid, allowing for fewer rare-earth elements and helping to keep costs lower. The battery employs complex plumbing that pushes coolant though the floor of the pack, ensuring optimal operating temperatures for improved range and charging. It also results in a longer battery life.
