Q6 Sportback e-tron quattro (MY26)

The Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron quattro (MY26) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £72,065. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.1 seconds, quicker than 71% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 311 miles (500 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 80% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 18th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.3 mi/kWh (190 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 94.9 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 186 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 364 miles (585 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £232 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).
