Personally waiting for the A6 etron
Its Coming in Late May/Early June
The "Thermos" is an ashtray :D
I heard that and started laughing sooo hard
The editing in Jordan's videos is fantastic....
Thanks for this great walkthrough. Lots of geeky stuff. We added your video to our coverage of this model
Couple of things
- The color was Daytona Grey on the car inside
- It has massage seats but not the individual counter seats
- You can order it with exclusive colors so you can have any color you want (more than 50 to choose from)
Just came a bit to late. Seems interesting, but I need an EV now, so I can’t wait till summer. And if I had my choice I’d have a A6 etron avant. I ended up getting a BMW i5. But 95kWh compared to 82kWh seems nice and 380hp with all wheel drive seems about right to me.
the a6 etron is on its way too
Jordan your filming is excellent! All of your practice and passion for film/photography really pays off in these videos. You have your own style thats different from kyle, which is cool.
James May laughs lol,really like the new Q6,cheers guys 👍💪😉
Great review!
I don’t know why anyone would hate a front trunk. It’s extra storage space lol! Typically it’s the perfect place for your charging cables if anything.
No power front trunk on an Audi?
27:00 this is so nice to see! Amazing work by Audi. This will for sure catch all the tech enthusiasts 👌🏽
Great job, Jordan!
I’m impressed that you so ably improvised without your phone notes! It’s been great to see you back on the OoS videos.
Great job Jordan.
Great job Jordan!
The Top Gear reference made me laugh. 😉
Wish you would have addressed more about the suspension options and technology, specifically the the active adaptive air suspension similar to the PASM option with the 2025 Porsche Macan. Kyle addressed this in his video on the Macan and it is my understanding that Audi has this integrated into the air suspension system. From the Audi media kit: "The central chassis control unit, the Electronic Chassis Platform (ECP), regulates the operation of the dampers individually for each wheel every millisecond - depending on the road surface, the driving style, and the mode selected in the Audi drive select dynamic handling system. Electromagnetic damper valves vary the flow of the hydraulic fluid. The optional electronically controlled, adaptive air suspension with continuously adjustable damping system on all four wheels automatically regulates the vehicle level and damping. This gives the electric SUV high ride comfort on the one hand but also offers enhanced driving dynamics on the other. " Maybe you can address a review of how the Audi system compares to the Porsche system. One of the significant benefits electric cars have is the availability of sufficient battery to enable the electric power requirements for these systems. I have never ridden in a car with these active dampening systems but I suspect that they significantly improve BOTH ride comfort and ride performance (the holy grail of automotive suspension systems:). Thanks for the early view of the car.
Well done. Thanks!
Tytyty for da QUALITY informative review classic out of specs !!!👍
Nice car. Thanks for the review.
Awesome video Jordan.. Detailed and thorough review 👍 There's one version I would love to both see and hear more about.. The Sportback.
I would also appreciate manual preheating.. This should be a driver's choice. Regardless if someone will abuse it.. If the only negative are that it uses more energy then I don't see a problem. I also use more energy if I hammering my XC40 instead of driving more relaxed.
Great video Jordan!
SQ6 looks like a very tasty entry on my ev dream list 😄
Fantastic Audi ❤
Good premium EV with great tech for a still reasonable price for a premium EV (The Europe prices have been revealed already starting at €74.5k for the AWD, big battery (100kWh total capacity) option. An RWD version will follow for under €70k and we might even see a smaller battery version for a low €60k price tag. In the US, prices for the AWD big battery version could start at $68k?
Looking forward to the A6 e-tron which will have more outgoing styling, better range due to better aerodynamics and maybe even more power. For folks who need the storage space, the A6 e-tron Avant (stationwagon) would be an ideal solution
But remember, with Audi if you want quality features you have to add a “package”, like Premium Package, so the price goes up.
Thank You folks for supporting Electric Vehicles and for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮ ❤
I love a frunk especially during cold winter months for keeping groceries cold during ride home. Extra storage is always welcome.
Great video! Sounds like a great car that is trending a little toward the Q4 e-tron rather than the Q8 e-tron. Disappointed to hear Jordan say "get the Q6 e-tron unless you want the massaging seats of the Q8 e-tron" What, I can't get a Q6 e-tron with massaging seats? Thanks for finally posting this video. Now we need more specifics from Audi on when we can purchase in the US?
I think it looks great
Good news!
As a "fat e-tron" owner, I likes the looks and sound of this car! The size is sensible, and the feature set sounds attractive. Frankly I wonder what if anything will continue to be unique and desirable only in the Q8 (aside from massaging seats). The tech seems like a big step up, especially the screens, Android OS, one-pedal driving, and possibly the battery design details. Looks are fine, if a bit conventional. Glad to see air suspension, presence of a decent frunk, and what looks like good rear seat space. Oh, and one of the best changes -- Audi has moved the charge ports to the rear corners, which will facilitate charging at Tesla Superchargers!
It looks suuuuuper overstyled imo! But better than some others.
One pedal driving on a VAG EV: Finally!
In the US they should put a NACS connector on the left side and a CCS1 on the right side. Would be amazing!
Great idea, because CCS charging isn’t going away and is in fact being built out more as we speak - a requirement with federal funding
Afternoon Jordan
6:00 not the side blade, so the Side-ussy?
Really taking Volkswagen Group to heart
Are there no DC fast chargers in Ft Collins? Looking to drive up there and couldn't find much.
What rims are those on Alyssa’s e-tron? I also have a fat e-tron prestige and that full blackout looks awesome. I would love to change out my silver trim for black, too.
Looking forward to some truly blowout lease deals on the q8 etron
I guess Kyle would be jealous about the review :D
Edit: he is at the Macan E event ?
nice 2 ports
Nicely done. Thanks the in depth explanation of this platform. And yeah, the fake grill/vents are such absurdity. It's a nice looking car, but if feels like they skimped on design. Same for the storage area between driver & passenger. Why is that space so wasted? Is there a lump of electronics under there? Why an ash tray and cigarette lighter? Is this some strange attempt at retro-modern? Over all a thumbs up, but staying timid like this will just leave consumers hesitant. Be bolder, Audi! You can do it!
Front Trunk. I expect it with a larger front end. Otherwise, not necessary with short nose vehicles, such as the ID4 / Q4, where they designed a vehicle to maximize cabin volume.
I have to say that is a bit curious they went OLED with all the problems with auto dimming and HDR that work against Burn In, especially because on a car, you are always cycling in between the same type of images back and forth. Finally they updated the look of their SW that was long due an overhaul.
The front storage space, even if it is quite small, is ideal for storing charging cables. Under the floor at the rear is pointless and inconvenient if you're carrying luggage or groceries.
Yes! GIVE IT TO ME! I need money, now!
Frunk 4 Ever!
Rear quarters look like a ‘73 Ford Grand Torino wagon from the side.
I think that BEVs should have at least the option of a full-size spare wheel/tire in the frunk
Why, pray tell, would you need a middle ground between the q4 and the q8?
And no 3rd row SUV in their lineup
The same reason they have the Q3, Q5, and Q7 options for the ICE models.
It’s barely more cargo space than q4 but has a bit more passenger volume. Q8 is bigger for passengers and storage.
Maybe this will hold a car seat better than the q4, something that is needed for a lot of people.
The car looks nice, but am surprised that Audi didn’t add the NACS port for the USA. I’m sure they will go the route that Tesla did with the Y by removing the piano black in the interior.
The “thermos looking thing” is an ash tray. European cars still come with “smoker package” opinions. The ash tray is removable for cleaning or just not using it if you don’t smoke.
I wish we had the solid roof option.
Wow to the 5 computers running the thing. Expensive takes on another meaning with this " thing''.
Let me guess, US models will get blinking brake lights as turn indicators.
Most likely, and most annoying.
The front end looks like a previous gen. Hyundai Kona.
Warren Buffett: Be greedy when others are fearful & fearful when others are greedy

We need knight rider KIT front light customization!!
It looks good but the piano black interior parts kill it for me.
Yes totally agree about the piano black shit. I really hate this because it's a fingerprint magnet and it's scratches magnet as well and dust can seen very easily. I personally think that they need to do much more silver and black matte interior parts
I don’t understand this obsession amongst automakers for piano black interiors … pretty much everybody hates it, from reviewers to potential buyers… why not matte black?!?!
@@cbatiau2528 yes I totally agree with you brother
Everyone hates the piano black I really don't know why they do it all the time
Believe they think it looks luxury but it's totally bulshit
Just do it black matt or silver Matt
Just not shiny and gloss .
Let's hope they fixed the cooling reservoir overflowing into the motor and killing off either the front or rear motors. 4 Years since e-tron 55 came out and they're still blowing motors on '23 and '24 e-trons.
Maybe the battery is different because of different power. Maybe they use a different vendor in US for cells
12:13 not really sold on the utility of front trunks, but… meh. I love my ID4 so, yeah. 🤷♂️😸
Nice video. I love the interior, but even with the new technology, I still think EV technology and US infrastructure is a bit too immature to own an EV. When will you do a video on the upcoming PPC Q5?
So would this be Lyriq sized?
A little smaller - the Lyriq is actually Q8 sized
whats the ground clearance?
It's the distance between the ground and the bottom of the vehicle.
The rear seating suffers from the same issue which many EV's have; no leg support above the knees for taller people. This will lead to discomfort and numbness on longer journeys.
But, how does it compare with the Vinfast?
Millions of Americans have taken OSHA training and in that world, PPE is personal protection equipment. 😅😂😂
If it is the same fabric on the interior parts as the Q4 e-tron it will hurt your elbows when wearing a t-shirt etc. it’s quite coarse and uncomfortable.
Really sharp looking car.
Electric SUVs should be designed to be super aerodynamics so you can drive them on the autobahn at 180km/h and still have decent range, as you would do with a combustion one.
There is a Q8 ICE SUV and yes there is a Q8 e tron
5:40 Why would we want those bigger 21" wheels at all? The 18" wheels would give a much smoother ride and better range, too. Weird take.
Exactly … I hate this trend toward bigger wheels - more expensive, more weight, less range, less sidewall, less safe, and in my mind much uglier and absurd-looking (clownish)
I love that cars suddenly became something youre supposed to "bling", electronically... for a charge.
I feel like they treat customers like evil developers treat kids playing mobile phone games.
To be perfectly clear, this is not at ALL something only Audi does.
Want to see if Audi has route planning with chargers and access to Tesla superchargers
Glad it has one peddle driving. A real shame Porsche doesn't offer it.
Love the all-metal roof, but will Audi ruin it by making glass roofs standard for Americans? Great that they allow one-pedal driving - a plus over the Macan Electric
You can use full functionality of matrix I the us .. just not too bright
Looks like the 2018 Hyundai Kona 💀
Audi tt ev plz!!!!
So they have that big, high non-aero front end to make it look like a fossil car?
THIS video has a familiar intro.
People drive with LED light bars on so it really doesn’t matter 3:43
Interior screens killed it for me. Just not a fan of the look of them.
Steering wheel seems massive, and a little too much gloss black
You mentioned this is Manhattan Grey? Not Daytona? Really?
Best EV 👍
Macan vs Q6???
people really ask why audis have a fake grill? ofcourse because of design isues! And I like that. otherwise you can buy a tesla if you dont need that.
A fine car indeed, which 9/10ths of all EV drivers can never afford!
Looks like a q4. But has price of a q8 Etron
Not a thermos. It's an ash trey 😊
just bought 2021 1.5L diesel, manual 60000km wagon astra/308/megane 15K.-
the details of your impotence isn’t of interest
I hope you realize the only thing B&O actually makes them selves is the grill covers…
Bring back sedans
I don’t like big wheels. Give me efficiency and ride every day.
My big question is what ridiculous subscription fees for what features are going to be on this car. The new A3 is loaded with subscriptions for features and if that's the direction Audi is heading in that I am definitely not buying this or any other Audi even if it's otherwise a good vehicle. It's almost like they forgot what happened to BMW when they tried a subscription for CarPlay a few years ago
Etron means turd in French -- really. 😂 😂
800V? Does this mean the Q4 is going 800V?
No, it means...the Q4 is outdated...since still on MEB, which is 400v only.
@@josefv8708 well that was fast. EVs are lease only. Their value drops like a rock.
Just under 42 minutes... not bad. Had this been Kyle he would have been repetitive and this video would have taken 90 minutes. 🤦♂
Dark colours fit the car very well …. Because it hide all the hideous lines on the exterior design! 😢
Did I really hear a fake engine sound?
