Audi Q6 e-tron Electric SUV Teased in Near Production-Ready Form

Audi has released images of the upcoming Q6 e-tron in its close-to-production avatar, undergoing winter testing in Northern Europe. The Q6 will be the first car to use the VW Group's new PPE architecture, which will serve as the foundation for the next Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen EVs. The new PPE platform, together produced with Porsche, will serve as the foundation for the forthcoming large electric vehicles from the Volkswagen Group, such as the upcoming Macan EV and an all-electric Cayenne. The heavily camouflaged SUV showcased the split headlamps and trapezoidal opening in the bumper. As per teaser images, the overall body style has flowing lines and a crossover outlook. The Q6 e-tron, according to the reports, will be one of the expected 20 new cars that the carmaker will launch in international markets by 2025. The models will include both internal combustion and electric vehicles, with the latter making up more than half of the lineup.
