The Audi Q6L e-tron quattro alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Audi Q6L e-tron quattro has a maximum power of 345 kW (469 hp / 463 bhp) and a total torque of 855 Nm (631 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 107.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 101.5 kWh, with a 5.5 kWh buffer (5.1%) for battery protection. The battery operates at a nominal voltage of 706 V, supporting high-power DC charging.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
The vehicle's range, according to the CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicle Test Cycle) standard, is 709 km (441 miles).
The energy consumption is 14.3 kWh/100 km based on the CLTC standard test.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 270 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 69 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 23 minutes at an average power of 186 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 3–58%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 166 kW over a session lasting about 20 minutes and 10 seconds.
This efficient charging capability makes the Audi Q6L e-tron quattro a convenient option for long-distance travel.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 23 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 7 minutes, needing two charging stops from 3% to 67%, totaling 47 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 9 hours and 13 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
An optional 22 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 4 hours and 36 minutes.
Charge Port
The charge port is on the left rear side. This position suits charging bays where the vehicle reverses toward the charging point.
Additionally, a second port on the right rear side offers greater flexibility for AC charging.
Drivetrain
The Audi Q6L e-tron quattro features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle.
An induction motor powers the front axle, while a permanent-magnet synchronous motor powers the rear axle.
Suspension
The Audi Q6L e-tron quattro features a multilink front and rear suspension, both equipped with electronically controlled dampers and coil springs for a smooth and responsive ride.
The Standard suspension has steel springs with a fixed height, but you can adjust damping to fit your driving style or road condition.
Ground clearance with this setup is 142 mm.
Steering
Progressive steering is standard on the Audi Q6L e-tron quattro. It adjusts the steering ratio according to vehicle speed.
Drive Modes
The Audi Q6L e-tron quattro lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.
The driver can choose between 7 modes:

Brakes
The Audi Q6L e-tron quattro is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.
The front discs measure 375 mm, while the rear discs are 350 mm.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
- Hold mode brings the vehicle to a complete stop using friction brakes
- Roll mode allows the vehicle to roll until it stops naturally
- Creep mode moves the car forward at low speed
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between two levels.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 220 kW.
