For the first time, the Audi Q6 e-tron has been sighted in India. This comes after its international premiere in March alongside the S e-tron GT. The model, in its near-production avatar, was spotted on the outskirts of Mumbai with minimal camouflage. This sighting raises the possibility that the electric SUV will debut in early 2025 or later this year. Rear-wheel drive will likely be available for the Q6 e-tron when it arrives in India. Moreover, the vehicle will be driven by an 83kWh battery pack. In contrast, the Quattro model sold internationally has two electric motors and a 100kWh battery, producing a combined 382bhp.
