The Fully-Electric 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron Makes PH Debut

Audi Philippines through its distributor PGA Cars, has officially launched the new Q6 e-tron. As a culmination of the brand’s luxury electric vehicle (EV) expertise over the past years, the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron is the brand’s best foot forward. The new Q6 e-tron combines a high level of driving dynamism, along with excellent efficiency and cutting-edge technologies.

But first, let’s talk about design. The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron debuts the brand’s latest design language. What’s new for the Q6 e-tron and every new Audi moving forward, is its dynamic exterior design. The Q6 e-tron comes with Audi’s first implementation of split headlights, wherein the main adaptive matrix LED headlights are separate units from the configurable LED daytime running lights. Yes, these are configurable through the MMI infotainment system, as these come with up to eight different patterns. Of course, being an EV, the signature Singleframe grille is enclosed, while a black trim piece visually connects the lower elements of the front fascia.

The sides and the rear are also very striking, with its wide shoulders seemingly harking back to the legendary Audi Quattro rally-car-based sport coupe. Visually emphasizing its width are the full-width LED taillights that provide a very striking glow at night. 20-inch alloy wheels come as standard, rising to 21 inches for the range-topping and sporty SQ6 e-tron.

Like the exterior, the interior of the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron brings the brand into a new era of design and tech. The interior vibe is typical Audi, wherein the minimalism is enhanced by premium materials and impeccable build quality. Where the Q6 e-tron truly shines is with its latest generation MMI infotainment system.

Now consisting of three screens as standard for the Philippine market, the new generation MMI infotainment system is now using Android Automotive as the base operating system. There’s an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.5-inch central infotainment touchscreen. The third display is a passenger’s side screen, which basically has the same functionality as the main infotainment system. Furthermore, the passenger has the ability to watch videos on the move but to prevent driver distraction, this screen comes with an Active Privacy Mode that blocks the screen from the driver’s perspective.

As a result, the infotainment is at the bleeding edge of responsiveness, intuitiveness, and functionality. There’s wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Bang & Olufsen premium sound system. Other features worth highlighting are the new interactive ambient LED lights that react to your turn signals or the safety systems.

Oh, yes, speaking of which, the Q6 e-tron is fully-loaded to the brim with a full suite of advanced driver-assistance systems as standard. This includes full-speed adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane centering, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, automatic emergency braking, and a 360-degree camera system. How these safety systems work are intuitively displayed through the new augmented reality head-up display, which is hard to describe on paper, and is best experienced when trying the Q6 e-tron for yourself.

For now, only one powertrain of the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron will be sold in the Philippine market, and that’s the Q6 e-tron with a single motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) layout. This produces 326 horsepower and 485 Nm of torque, which is good for a 0-100 kph time of just 6.6 seconds. With a 100 kWh lithium-ion battery, the Q6 e-tron is WLTP rated at up to 640 km of range.

Thanks to its new, bespoke EV platform called the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), dynamism, and fast charging capabilities are at its core. The Q6 e-tron’s RWD drivetrain has a rear-biased weight distribution, allowing for agile handling characteristics, while its new, 800-volt architecture is good for up to 270 kW in DC fast charging, or up to 11 kW in AC charging. PPE is a Volkswagen Group platform that was co-developed by Audi with Porsche, and so therefore, you know that the Q6 e-tron is going to be fantastic to drive.

Even more fantastic is the SQ6 e-tron, which has even more power through its dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) layout. This performance-oriented variant pushes out 509 horsepower and 855 Nm of torque, which is good enough for a 0-100 kph time of just 4.3 seconds. This variant also comes as standard with adaptive air suspension for an even broader breadth of handling and ride configurability.

The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron will have its public launch at Audi Global City this February 28. As the culmination of Audi’s EV expertise over the years, the Q6 e-tron is indeed the German luxury automaker’s best foot forward.
