Unfortunately the wagon A6 Etron won’t come to the states, yet we will get the sportback which is pretty close in utility and arguably better looking (and likely more aerodynamic).
@mrstinky2421 The Ioniq 5 is my first pick so far. I'm still waiting for better range and charging on EVs in general, especially in my area as anything above 50kw chargers are few and far between on most of my normal road trip destinations. Now that the 2025's are NACS though, maybe it's about time to jump in.
I took delivery of an SQ6 Prestige Edition One just before Thanksgiving in Los Angeles, and I’m absolutely in love with it. This is my first EV, but my eighth Audi-my most recent two leases were SQ5s, which I adored. The SQ6 has far exceeded my expectations. Unlike the guys in this video, I appreciate the slightly rougher ride the 21” wheels and tighter suspension brought in by Dynamic mode, I even like the pumped-in motor noise. Despite the sportier setup, the ride is smooth-no spilled Starbucks here. The new MMI is fantastic. For the first time, I prefer using the built-in navigation over CarPlay. It’s fast and detailed. Apparently there are 800 commands the voice assistant will recognize but I really only use it for navigation and climate control as there is no fan speed button in the climate control menu unless click into the full climate menu which is annoying. I like that the display is customizable by being able to move the icons for commonly used apps over to the home bar. The heads-up display (the first I’ve had in a car) is also cool-it can be adjusted up or down, I keep it tucked away low on the windshield. Mine has not gotten speed limit signs and I think the blue navigation arrows work great. The interior overall is bitchin’. The ambient lighting is fun to customize. The adaptive cruise control is significantly better than what I had in my SQ5. It’s far more powerful. It keeps control thru far more turns than before (though the guys are right, it will drop out of longer deeper turns) but when paired with the MMI Nav it knows when it needs to slow down such as ok off ramps. While I can’t compare the charging speed to other EVs, I feel like my car wraps up much faster than neighboring cars at the charging station. Also Audi gave me 1 year of free charging at Electrify America, I think that’s a perk everyone gets. The B&O sound system is as great as ever, and the headrest speakers are a cool addition. Opposite to what the guys in the video say, I think the seat massagers are a bit aggressive for my taste, they really dig in even on low intensity. The seats and steering wheel heat up quickly. Overall, the interior design is very Audi, lux yet not over the top. So this is where haters gonna hate. I did run into an issue with the Audi Connect app and remote features, but the dealership is working on it while I’m out of town on family holiday. I’m short, the phone app and the car have stopped talking to each other. It has something to do with the car talking to Audis backend systems but I won’t know the full extent until it’s fixed. As an early adopter I am fine with this, it’s to be expected. In short, if you’ve been waiting for an electric (S)Q5, the SQ6 is worth the upgrade. It’s pricey compared to some competitors, but the build quality, design, and driving experience make it worth it (I recently sat in a Tesla and was so bored by its stripped down interior, it should be priced significantly less than something like an SQ6). I don’t see myself ever going back to an ICE Audi.
Great review! I just wanted to share a few additional points for your international audience, as some statements differ in Europe: Massage Seats: In Europe, you can configure massage seats on the Q6 e-tron. (Sport Seat Plus) This does not have ventilation Power Differences: The Q6 e-tron in the US has more power compared to the European version. Audi e-tron GT: The updated Audi e-tron GT now shares the same updated platform as the Porsche Taycan. Charging Curve: I have the full charging curve for the Supercharger V3.5 available in the EVKX database. Plug-and-Play Charging: Plug-and-play functionality works seamlessly in Europe. OLED Lights: OLED taillights are available as an option for the Q6 e-tron in Europe. Once again, fantastic review, and thanks for your hard work!
I think the new 800V charging is a great advantage. Having a good and flat charging curve is so much relaxing on a road trip. I exspect a very good 10% challenge for an SUV.
I have an SQ6 on order, drove a Q6 and played with an SQ6 (not the config I want). There is a LOT of customization available, some of which would address complaints in the video. I've read the online manual "cover to cover" several times, and will probably need to do it again. The most annoying thing is that the first cars Audi ships are almost all Magnet Gray and Arctic White (?), both non-metallic. Color selection in the US is limited to gray, white, two blues and black, whereas Europe gets more choices. The 21" wheels come with the Edition One option package on the SQ6, which both the SQ6s at my dealer have, and I DO NOT WANT THEM. I think the ride would feel much different on 20" or even 19" wheels.
@@mackos007 I thought it was fine. The SQ6 I looked at had the all-leather seats, and I like the quilted look. (The other seat choice with "Dinamica" and leather is also quilted.) The Dinamica and carbon fiber on the dash was nice. I'm not a fan of piano black, but it didn't offend me. It doesn't look like Audis of old, but I vastly prefer it to the "iPad mounted to the dash" approach of many EVs. I don't at all like the look of the fill panel if you don't have the passenger display, though it would probably improve with some CF-look wrap applied.
Love Audis interior. Heads up displays are so helpful. I've always felt my Tesla without a drivers display and no heads up was lacking. At least there's aftermarket but not as good as oem
Great job Jordan. It looks like a great car that is two years late. Ideally Audi would be releasing the Q8 e-tron on PPE now with all the bells and whistles. The options packaging simply does not make sense here. No soft close doors, no massage seats? Has Audi abdicated the luxury title?
Thank you Jordan and Logan for this video. This was the EV I was excited for most this year, given that I wanted to get into an Audi EV with newer updated tech and range. The Q8 was just too dated, as much as I loved the drive of both the Q8 etron and especially the SQ8 etron. Feels like the Q6/SQ6 is getting lost in between the Macan and now the Polestar 3. While still solid and my pick of the three, it doesn't seem like it excels in anything above those two. Despite how expensive the Macan EV can get, I can see folks looking at a loaded SQ6 and considering with going with a base Macan EV or Macan 4 EV. In Canada SQ6 is around 107Kish CAD and I am seeing base Macan 4 EVs going for 114K CAD (Macan 4 w/ Premium pack) And with the Polestar 3 (atleast here in Canada) they have way more aggressive rates on lease ie: 0.99%. Where the Q6/SQ6 is still at 6%+ (can lease a 2024 Etron GT at same/even lower cost) It is funny how mum Audi is about the RWD version. They did the same thing with the Q4 45 RWD. Dealers had no idea about them, said they wouldn't get any because it was just to get the federal tax credit by hitting the low MSRP, and now suddenly they all have 3-5 units in stock of the RWD. Looks like the same pattern with the Q6 RWD lol.
Plug and Charge.. Setup an EA account with your same phone number and email used in the Audi App.. Then enable plug and charge inside the car. That'll typically link them together.
I'm ragingly jealous of the location and weather.I really like the optimism in the assistance voice. That's cool. I like it, drop it off at my mom's house for Christmas 🎁 ❤
I have a Q6 Prestige on order. US deliveries to port on Prestige trim models will start 3rd week of Jan 2025. Other trim models are here now. I have had a q55 Edition One since 2019 and have about 74,000 miles logged. It is the most luxurious riding vehicle I have ever owned. BUT.... So many issues during ownership, including a motor replacement, mmi control unit failure, and just last week a battery control module failure. I managed to get AUDI to pay for all these issues and I am thankful for that because if not, it would so far have run me over $18,000 out of pocket to repair!! So it's time to leave the Q55 and not for a Q8. I'm sure the Q6 Prestige will be a little of a letdown in fit/finish/comfort but will test drive beforehand and see. I was wondering about the leather quality in the Q6 prestige you tested with the headrest speakers and ventilation (which I believe is the warm weather package). Did you find it on par quality-wise to the Q8? Q8 softer? Q6 comfortable? Can you comment on your experience in both regarding seats. Great review video, and thanks!
This will be a good one. We have a Q4 (very disappointed with it in terms of quality and software). We tried the Q6 and could see the improvements but the cost and tech is still stupidly German at this point, so we switched to a Polestar 4.
I like slight warmth while also having ventilation. Prevents it feeling “hot and sticky” for lack of a better term. They’re different technology and should easily be able to run simultaneously!
I have plug and charge on my '23 Q8 etron and it took less tan 10 minutes to set up. Obviously you need an account, which a dealer can't do until you take ownership but Audis plug and charge works fine for me both in set up and use of plug and charge.
Jordan, you've been doing this too long to not know that "800V architecture" refers to a class of charging, and a range rather than exact numbers. Anything that is always at 500+V, regardless of state of charge, is 800V architecture designation.
Ordered the Quattro Version in Europe. It’s so much more expensive here than in the U.S. with a total sticker of €94k. But, as it custom here, there’s much more granularity for the features… Anyways, don’t have a delivery date yet. A freaking Tesla would’ve been here weeks ago, and likely have the few k miles done… Legacy mfr really need to get things done faster.
Hi Jordan. As I read the PDF, the dealer is supposed to set up PnC for the customer - or at least help with it. On page 2 (Summary) it states: “Please support your customer by taking the time for setting this up for them……” So something that AUDI is obviously aware of can cause problems. The problem is and will therefore be - perhaps a little unfairly, the dealer's. We also know that many dealers are not "fully in the loop" yet, and may not have the necessary knowledge about EVs. But having a process that should actually be very simple, but that takes 40 minutes - is downright stupid. It can and must be improved.
Jordan, thank you for an excellent first drive review of the Audi Q6 E-tron. When it comes to Audi it seems that no matter the exterior color, no matter the model, no matter the price; when you open the door all you see is Black. For some people a black interior says "high tech", but for me Audi's black interiors are "depressing". I've seen available interior colors like Cedar Brown and Beige in the Audi configurator but car review videos are Basic Black so far. I'll keep an eye out for Audi interior diversity.
Looks like all the rest of the suv/crossover if you squint. Looks kind of like my Mach e. But sounds worse for software than even Ford. And the price in Canada is $98,000 base. I’ll keep my mache.
thanks for the informative vid Jordan.........looking forward to when you can do more testing; 10% etc. As an owner of a Q4 I am cross shopping the Q6 and Macan EV..........the price difference alone is very significant with the Porsche being ~$25k CDN more. If I go for the Q6 Id buy a similar spec to my Q4 so Quattro drive and packages. Intersting NON update on NACS from Audi/VW group :(
I know you guys are all about power, and range, and performance but can you do a walk around of the cars and show off the lights and blinkers?? I'd like to know if they're using amber turn indicators. Mercedes is moving to amber, Tesla has always had amber so I wonder if Audi is going back to amber.
Thank you for the video. Looking forward to more content with the Q6 and also how it compares to the Macan. Sure the Macan is a bit more expensive, but the terrible interior with touch controls and piano black is so disappointing with the new Audi's that I would consider the steeper price to avoid it.
How much more efficient is this over a Q8, that is probably the only reason to go with this over a Q8. Probably best to wait for the new Q8/Cayenne if this is what you are wanting and just buy a used gen1 etron while you wait.
The scenery reminds me of County Kerry, especially the rain and potholes. 🤣 As bland and confusing as it is, it's nice to see Audi back on the channel.
NACS has been announced, but it won't show up in VW group cars until late next year or maybe 2026. VW was the last of the major makers to sign up with Tesla, so they will be last in line for enabling. No V2H or V2L at this time.
Yet again a legacy OEM makes an ev by throwing darts at a board. Adding silly options they claim people want but have no data on what is actually used to validate it. I love Audi cars, have had Q5, as long as it's under warranty. OEM's keep adding fancy lighting and BS options and say HERE IS OUT AWESOME EV!! Doesn't perform any better than a 2018 Model 3 but it's the best they can do which is a shame. Too many dang buttons and too many garbage menus and garbage options. People buy a car, set it up to what they like and it doesn't change. Rant over. I'll shut up
Disagree, that’s not how Out of Spec works. There’s plenty of short videos on this car with minimal detail. We go into every single thing which simply takes time. If you want a 10 min read of the press release, go to Audi’s website. 👍🏼
I wish they would make an A4 Allroad style EV rather than big SUVs. A sporty feeling EV road tripping wagon would be amazing.
Unfortunately the wagon A6 Etron won’t come to the states, yet we will get the sportback which is pretty close in utility and arguably better looking (and likely more aerodynamic).
That would be my dream car! Bought and ioniq 5 since it's the closest thing I could find.
Oh darn, I guess you gotta settle for a taycan cross turismo. 😂 At least that's what I'm going to tell my wife.
@mrstinky2421 The Ioniq 5 is my first pick so far. I'm still waiting for better range and charging on EVs in general, especially in my area as anything above 50kw chargers are few and far between on most of my normal road trip destinations.

@IamCorrosive Well, if I had that kinda money I'd probably get a gas car and not care about how expensive gas is where I am.

Re: massage seats - also in the US, you can have either massage or ventilation, not both.
@@SteveLionel correct, by comment was more about the statement it not possible to order the Q6 with massage. (only SQ6)
I think the new 800V charging is a great advantage. Having a good and flat charging curve is so much relaxing on a road trip. I exspect a very good 10% challenge for an SUV.
Couldn't click this fast enough. Can't wait to watch.

Nice job by Audi with new EV platform but for me new EV A6 Avant is still the electric Audi to get 😊❤
Thanks Jordan for bringing your production value to the review!
Love Audis interior. Heads up displays are so helpful. I've always felt my Tesla without a drivers display and no heads up was lacking. At least there's aftermarket but not as good as oem
Sorry, but this car's interior is terrible for this price.
@@eduardoforneck3335 agreed. Plastic, cost savings everywhere and just boring looking. This should be 40k not upwards of 80k

The two of you made a great team
Alissa should had reviewed this . This the upgrade to Allissa's ETron
For 80k I would expect plug and charge to be enabled when I pick it up - for the price you should expect service
Good job , like having the guest opinions along.

Where did you get this info about delivery timeline? My SQ6 has been on a quality hold stateside at port for 2 weeks, wondering why.
This information comes from dealer regarding my Q6 Prestige. It does not apply to SQ6.
nice Video Jordan! :)
I've been waiting for this car to hit the States for order!!!!
So, I love it, but I will say I just got a Mach-e Rally and it took 30 seconds to add a credit card to enable Plug and Charge.
Jordan, that is one gorgeous man you’re in the car with
Thank you!
Resale value is the Final grade for any vehicle😎
RIP VAG!!
This will be a good one. We have a Q4 (very disappointed with it in terms of quality and software). We tried the Q6 and could see the improvements but the cost and tech is still stupidly German at this point, so we switched to a Polestar 4.
why would you want heated and ventilated seats on at the same time? dumb question but i'm curious.
I like slight warmth while also having ventilation. Prevents it feeling “hot and sticky” for lack of a better term. They’re different technology and should easily be able to run simultaneously!
It’s the first Audi in a looong time I like looking at.
I have plug and charge on my '23 Q8 etron and it took less tan 10 minutes to set up. Obviously you need an account, which a dealer can't do until you take ownership but Audis plug and charge works fine for me both in set up and use of plug and charge.
Ah, driving around Bodega Bay.

I drive that stretch of coast multiple times a week. There are some really fun corners if you know where to look.

True, I agree it has a storm trooper vibe 🙂
timestamp error: hello and welcome starts at 1:53, which btw also cut off the earlier segment abruptly
Will there be a Sportback version? Will it come with a native NACS port?
They address your second question in the video. Answer is… Audi shrugged and didn’t commit
Looks like all the rest of the suv/crossover if you squint. Looks kind of like my Mach e. But sounds worse for software than even Ford.
And the price in Canada is $98,000 base. I’ll keep my mache.
It looks nothing like Mach E
@@RONderluck😂😂😂 yea maybe the Mach e is sportier. 😉🤘🏼
@@Lorwildrose this looks way better than Mach E. Wait a minute what am I even saying? You can’t afford any vehicle right now from what I can see.
thanks for the informative vid Jordan.........looking forward to when you can do more testing; 10% etc. As an owner of a Q4 I am cross shopping the Q6 and Macan EV..........the price difference alone is very significant with the Porsche being ~$25k CDN more. If I go for the Q6 Id buy a similar spec to my Q4 so Quattro drive and packages. Intersting NON update on NACS from Audi/VW group :(
What city in Cali was this Audi event?
I know you guys are all about power, and range, and performance but can you do a walk around of the cars and show off the lights and blinkers?? I'd like to know if they're using amber turn indicators. Mercedes is moving to amber, Tesla has always had amber so I wonder if Audi is going back to amber.
Thank you for the video. Looking forward to more content with the Q6 and also how it compares to the Macan. Sure the Macan is a bit more expensive, but the terrible interior with touch controls and piano black is so disappointing with the new Audi's that I would consider the steeper price to avoid it.
If they just increase the efficiency of their motors, the q4 and q8 etrons will become way more compelling.
Instead of run-flat tyres they should put a space saver spare at the front instead of a frunk.
Can we get an update on Tijamen’s Tesla Model 3
Just feel that Polestar 3 has more modern looks than this one. Wish Audi went a little hard on design.
“You know what's remarkable? That England looks in no way like Southern California.”
How much more efficient is this over a Q8, that is probably the only reason to go with this over a Q8. Probably best to wait for the new Q8/Cayenne if this is what you are wanting and just buy a used gen1 etron while you wait.
First glance at side profile I thought it was a Hyundai Ioniq.
Damn that white color makes it look so frumpy. They need to bring the sport back to the US
The scenery reminds me of County Kerry, especially the rain and potholes. 🤣 As bland and confusing as it is, it's nice to see Audi back on the channel.
that grill is hideous!!
Maybe better in a different color? Maybe if Audi offered colors.
drag coefficient is 0.28, not 0.3x
PRODUCTION VALUE!!
Why get one of these over a 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Prestige that is priced the same of 75k dollars brand new and bigger... LOL
Good question, why? How does the Q8 compare to Q6, and why are they stop the production in Feb '25 (I read somewhere ? )
What does this EV do exceptionally well? What makes it unique? If you are not an Audi enthusiast, why would you buy this EV?
Other than the charging curve you guys sure made this sound like a dud! Yikes! You all did a nice job on the video though, keep up the good work!
Audi: Japanese cars are popular so lets copy them
Which Japanese electric car did Audi copy?
No NACS or even an announcement, No V2H or V2L etc, maybe no No Audi Q6.
NACS has been announced, but it won't show up in VW group cars until late next year or maybe 2026. VW was the last of the major makers to sign up with Tesla, so they will be last in line for enabling. No V2H or V2L at this time.
Very dangerous if the ADAS gives up. Expectantly with no warning
Hiiiii Logan
Yet again a legacy OEM makes an ev by throwing darts at a board. Adding silly options they claim people want but have no data on what is actually used to validate it. I love Audi cars, have had Q5, as long as it's under warranty. OEM's keep adding fancy lighting and BS options and say HERE IS OUT AWESOME EV!! Doesn't perform any better than a 2018 Model 3 but it's the best they can do which is a shame. Too many dang buttons and too many garbage menus and garbage options. People buy a car, set it up to what they like and it doesn't change. Rant over. I'll shut up
You're blocking the view. Skipped the video after one minute.
Etron means poo in French.
That white color with that front is the ugliest Audi I've ever seen till date.
They went from elegant recognasible interior into this soapy slop no name chinese interior. No german styling here anymore...
That front 🤮
Makes your eyes bleed worse than ebola…
That front is amazing
That hat. Hopefully someone from the Powerhouse will gift you a Colorado State University hat. Go Rammies!
@@Dactylonian how about some English?
@@RONderluck how’s that?
This vehicle would be acceptable - but only if it was not a jellybean and had an ICE motor. As a jellybean and an EV - it is Crap.
It' such a "meh" looking vehicle. Common Audi, for the money people want to drive something more visually interesting (see China).
bro. Put the car in focus not your face the first 6 minutes. otherwise you're not bad
Dude have you seen out of spec before. Kyle monologues for about 75% of every video. Cut Jordan some slack.
Yeah if I had shown the car and talked then people would complain about not seeing me talk. Can’t win!
Only lease a ev if its brand new. Resale value is horrendous
Nobody buys an Audi new. They are almost all leased. Even gas cars. Depreciation is nothing new to premium European cars.
@ ev depreciation is on another level and it’s even worse when it’s a luxury ev.
It looks like a Macan to me.
Same platform.
It looks nothing like it at all.
@@RONderluck I agree the Macan is so much nicer. I don't like the Q6 front either.
@@georg2064 that’s nice and all, but I wasn’t talking to you
Bro thinks he's doing a podcast. Anything over 10mins is overkill.
Disagree, that’s not how Out of Spec works. There’s plenty of short videos on this car with minimal detail. We go into every single thing which simply takes time. If you want a 10 min read of the press release, go to Audi’s website. 👍🏼
Is this just another garbage compliance EV that cost too much but VW group loses money on ?
y'all need to try chinese cars, they make the germans feels like a cat patting your back
bored. an hour speaking.. Audi sucks,
