Why is the VW group still so obsessed with glossy black plastics? Most automakers cut back or stopped using it years ago, but VW continues to use it profusely even in its high-end cars. Seriously, it's a bad when the interior of a Peugeot e-3008/5008 feels nicer and more expensive than this...

Hmm...cannot see, why soft plastic is no plastic...everything in a modern car is plastic, whether soft or hard. This soft BS...just adds more energy in production. Have you ever seen and felt the heat in such a production?...adding a foam layer and a slush skin to the part? This is a nightmare of wasting material and energy. It adds about 15kg to a car...ok, this is already a heavy beast, but would make it even more fat. Everything you touch during drive must be soft...and this is all soft.

Man this is so tough. With the Q6/SQ6 you get all the tech/range/charging advancements but with the current Q8/SQ8 you get more of the luxury feel and interior overall. I don't expect the Q6/SQ6 to be that much cheaper than the Q8/SQ8 (atleast in Canada) so you basically have to choose between updated tech or more luxurious quality.

@stephendutton3766 12 күн бұрын

Agreed. I have an earlier e-tron and noticed what felt like backward on downward steps in quality/luxury compared and also interior space. It does feel like it isn't possibly the no brainer replacement that some have been suggesting it would be vs the older q8/e-tron. It may be a case of if you can live with the lower range the older q8/e-tron is a better bet.

I see a trend among the premium German car manufacturers, especially Audi and BMW, and increasingly other brands with their 2024 releases. There are a lot of cost-cutting measures in the interiors mainly. Cheap plastics, no ambient lighting in the back, cup holders without covers anymore, and so on. Apparently, we have to deal with it - paying much more but getting less of a premium feel. Hmm...

Thanks again for the detail. What is encouraging is that Audi’s engineering excellence is shining through again. Less encouraging is the software is still not quite right even though the displays look very snazzy. In fact why do you need so much display space at all? The prices are absurd, and it is worth thinking quite hard about car price inflation since - say - 2017 when I last bought an Audi RS3 at around £43k new. It is not a comparable model, but even quite recently I could get a great ICE drive for under £45k. At some point price resistance is going to kick in. The VW part of the Audi/VW brand still has quite a lot left to do on price and performance to go up against BMW’s Mini and Mercedes’ Smart.

Great review, Thomas, thank you! I was so looking forward to this car, and now I'm left disappointed. You are actually the only reviewer who mentioned the tight backseat legroom space, which I appreciate! I predict this will be a flop. Similarly to Polestar 3 and 4, it took Audi way too long to bring it into production - deliveries will begin when, like end of the year?! There is loads and loads of good competitors for about half the price or less.. Moreover, looking at how other e-trons have been doing in terms of residual value after even less than a year, I gotta say you will have to be crazy to buy one new. Give it half a year and there will be second-hand Q6s with at least 42% off. Really, really annoys me! It is a testament to the fact that European car industry is going to s.ite.

Now in B9 like here it stays on ugly on top of the window plastic. Same for camera on B9 vs B8 it is no longer hiddne below the logo (i cleaned on B8 camera once in 4 years), and the button for the baggage is below in the dirty area.

Consider if you have a passenger/co driver it's much safer for the passenger to make adjustments which is so much more distracting for the driver than a hard switch.

Dear Thomas, awesome review as always. To answer your question regarding most European brands not offering a frunk - I believe it's due to safety reasons. Car makers have no control over what is stored in the frunk, therefore it's near impossible to predict how the contents of it would behave in case of a frontal collision. This is why if they offer a frunk it's considerably smaller than for instance American ones - to force you to use it only to store charging cables at most, so if you get into a severe crash - the contents of the frunk won't alter the structural integrity of the car and won't have a negative impact on the efficiency of force absorbing elements of the chassis. Luckily, safety is held in high regard in Europe and even among European brands there are different choices being made. Take a look at Audi Q7 vs Volvo XC90 - the former has 3 isofix points across the 2nd row of seats, but Volvo only put two isofixes on the outboard seats of the 2nd row. Why? According to Volvo - even though theoretically the middle seat should be the safest for a child, if you happen to have three childseats installed at the same time - in case of a side impact crash the child seat installed in the middle is at risk of being crushed by the two other child seats installed on the outboard seats.

A smooth and relaxing ride ruined by constant bonging and chimes every time you do something the EU commission thinks you shouldn't be doing. I wonder, is the extra performance of the SQ6 actually worth it? Would you actually be able to use it unless you travelled on beautiful roads like that every day? And would you say this 'feels' like an SUV? It is taller than the Macan, but I guess the seats are the still the same distance from the road as it's on the same platform.

It is amazing how long it took for Audi to get a dedicated EV platform car out. Yet it is heavy, and not so efficient. High price, mediocre software and hard plastic everywhere, with premium price. At least it looks good, drives good and is silent. The best deal is to wait for couple of years and buy one on the used market.

I once asked a great Kabbalist about eating animals, and he said “all life is based on eating the dead, including animals, plants and vegetables etc.” I am not an expert on the effects of farming and the environment, and I would be surprised to learn that Thomas is either. I respect anyone’s right to their opinion, but I watch his reviews solely for the review of cars, not opinions on the materials the manufacturers choose to use. Thanks for the response Sir Bufton!
