Then boy, do we have some Good News for you! This is the new Audi SQ6 Sportback e-tron.<\/p>\n<p>We suspect it\u2019ll be Good News for a fair few of you, since Audi tells us the Sportback-ed Q6 is \u201cone of the most popular body designs among customers\u201d. As with the SQ6 SUV and <a data-entity-substitution=\"canonical\" data-entity-type=\"node\" data-entity-uuid=\"cc3533db-1475-4ff7-b06b-2dbc091854bd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.topgear.com\/car-news\/first-look\/all-new-third-gen-audi-sq5-and-its-got-v6-petrol-power-again\" title=\"This is the all-new third-gen Audi SQ5, and it\u2019s got V6 petrol power again\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SQ5<\/a>, this electrified Sportback sits on the PPE platform co-developed with Porsche.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContentSpliced\">\n<div data-testid=\"PromosInContent\" class=\"sc-beqWaB fVphFz\">\n<div data-testid=\"MpuPremium1\" class=\"AdContainer-sc-6dj55u-4 bNWfzp\">\n<p>Advertisement &#8211; Page continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 fMuzYa\">\n<p>And residing in this PPE platform sits a 100kWh battery, which in the SQ6 Sportback is allied to a dual motor AWD setup churning out 482bhp. That\u2019s 27 less than in the SQ6 SUV, though it manages the same 0-62mph time of 4.3s. Top speed is 143mph. Both of those numbers are what you\u2019d call \u2018very fast indeed\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Probably why Audi\u2019s made a big deal of it looking\u2026 fast, while calling up one of its stone-cold classics in the process. \u201cEchoing the first-generation Audi TT Coupe, the Sportback\u2019s sloping roofline enhances its sporty aesthetics,\u201d Audi explains. Indeed, \u201cthe vehicle\u2019s silhouette flows gracefully, resembling a streamlined drop of water\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 fMuzYa\">\n<p>While \u2018streamlined\u2019 and \u2018graceful\u2019 aren\u2019t exactly the words we\u2019d use to describe something in excess of two tonnes that sits so high, it\u2019s certainly a distinctive shape. Though, it doesn\u2019t sit <em>as<\/em>\u00a0high \u2013 this one\u2019s been dropped by 37mm over its SQ6 SUV sibling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContentSpliced\">\n<div data-testid=\"PromosInContent\" class=\"sc-beqWaB fVphFz\">\n<div data-testid=\"MpuPremium2\" class=\"AdContainer-sc-6dj55u-4 bNWfzp\">\n<p>Advertisement &#8211; Page continues below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 fMuzYa\">\n<p>And all Q6 SUV variants as it happens. Which again, points to Audi aiming this Sportback more towards the <em>schporty<\/em>\u00a0end of the spectrum. Audi points out the redesigned front axle and optimised axle kinematics that promise dynamism, agility and good steering response. Lesser Q6 Sportback e-trons get passive damping, while the SQ6 gets adaptive air suspension.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there are lesser Q6 Sportback e-trons available. An entry-level version comes with an 83kWh battery, a single rear-mounted motor, 249bhp, a 0-62mph time of 7.0s and claimed range of 339 miles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"Carousel\" class=\"sc-beqWaB gTWrAH\">\n<div class=\"sc-beqWaB iFhdep\">\n<div class=\"ImageGalleryWrapper-sc-1tax92a-3 iNioTI page-carousel no-js\"><noscript><\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"Alert\" role=\"alert\" class=\"AlertBase-sc-nstgu0-0 dkRLDb\"><span class=\"sc-beqWaB fQvGPs icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" stroke=\"currentColor\" fill=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"0\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" data-testid=\"SvgGelIconInfo\"><path d=\"M16 31c8.5 0 15-6.5 15-15S24.5 1 16 1 1 7.5 1 16s6.5 15 15 15zm-2.2-5.5V12.7h4.4v12.9h-4.4zM16 10c-1.7 0-2.7-.9-2.7-2.4s1-2.4 2.7-2.4 2.7.9 2.7 2.4-1 2.4-2.7 2.4z\" stroke=\"none\"\/><\/svg><\/span>Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures.<\/div>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContentSpliced\">\n<div data-testid=\"PromosInContent\" class=\"sc-beqWaB cPUemb\">\n<div data-testid=\"Newsletter\" class=\"sc-beqWaB XEVDv\">\n<div class=\"sc-beqWaB Frame-sc-15y0w6v-0 dwBcBO hrWTog\">\n<section class=\"sc-beqWaB Contents-sc-15y0w6v-2  eenhBW\">\n<div>\n<p hidden=\"\" data-amp-bind-hidden=\"status != 'success'\" data-testid=\"Pica\" class=\"sc-csCMJt Subtext-sc-15y0w6v-4 ecFTlu gKuFSp\">Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.

The even longer-named Q6 Sportback e-tron performance quattro gets two motors, 382bhp and a 0-62mph time of 5.9s. Range on this latter car is a claimed 395 miles, while the SQ6 gets up to 377 miles.<\/p>\n<p>All of course get the 800v architecture offered by the PPE base, fast charging, and all the interior and exterior tech afforded by the Q6 e-tron SUV launched earlier this year. Which means the MMI panoramic display, virtual cockpit, many screens, optional augmented reality HUD, some voice control and \u2013 watch what you say \u2013 ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, right, we said \u2018less practical\u2019. Where the Q6 SUV gets 526-litres of boot, and 1,526-litres when you fold the rear seats down, the Sportback offers\u2026 a bit less (511\/1,373 litres). If you only stack things in litres, you will notice this difference.<\/p>\n<p>UK prices will be confirmed soon, but in Germany, the range starts from \u20ac66,100, rising to \u20ac96,200 for the SQ6.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topgear.com\/car-news\/first-look\/want-sq6-e-tron-less-practicality-meet-new-sq6-sportback-e-tron\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Look As night follows day, so Sportback follows SUV.
