- The 2025 Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron is a more rakish take on the automaker’s electric SUV
- Audi said the Q6 Sportback E-Tron will have about 300 miles of range
- The 2025 Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron will arrive in the U.S. in 2025
In keeping with the pattern set with its other electric SUVs, Audi on Sunday night unveiled a sleeker, coupe-like version of the Q6 E-Tron.
The Q6 Sportback E-Tron is scheduled to reach the U.S. in 2025. It follows the standard Q6 E-Tron, which is scheduled to arrive at U.S. dealerships before the end of the year as the first Audi-badged model off the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE), which the Q6 shares with the Porsche Macan EV.
As with previous Audi Sportback SUVs, the Q6 Sportback E-Tron differs from the standard Q6 E-Tron mostly in exterior styling. The roof is 1.4 inches lower, and the 114.1-inch wheelbase is 0.4 inch longer than the standard Q6 E-Tron. But width and overall length—along with most other styling details—are the same.

A 100-kwh battery pack (94.4 kwh usable) also carries over from the standard Q6 E-Tron. Performance figures for the U.S. will be finalized closer to the on-sale date, but so far Audi is only discussing dual-motor Q6 and S6 models rated at a peak 456 hp and 609 hp, respectively. Those numbers match the non-Sportback Q6 and SQ6, but Audi will also offer a single-motor version in the standard body style.
EPA ratings will be finalized closer to launch as well, but Audi expects Sportback models to offer around 300 miles of range. The standard Q6 E-Tron is rated at 321 miles in single-motor form, 307 miles in dual-motor form, and 275 miles in SQ6 form.

While rear-seat headroom and cargo space may suffer from the restyle, up front the Q6 Sportback E-Tron shares other models’ three-screen interior layout, with an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster, 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a 10.9-inch touchscreen for the front passenger.
The Q6 Sportback E-Tron joins Sportback versions of the entry-level Q4 E-Tron, which for 2025 gets a reworked powertrain delivering more power and range, and the Q8 E-Tron. Audi is also applying that designation to the A6 Sportback E-Tron hatchback, also based on the PPE architecture, which is due to arrive in North America next spring or summer.
