The Q6 E-Tron Is Audi's Most Important Electric Car Yet!

Рет қаралды 86,934

Күн бұрын

The Audi Q6 E-tron is quite possibly the first electric vehicle from Audi that has made us stop in our tracks and take notice as, whilst Audi aren't new to the world of Electric Vehicles, this is the first one they've put on a brand spanking new EV platform - the PPE (Premium Platform Electric). Why is that exciting, we hear you cry?! Bespoke EV architecture means, not only a firm commitment to developing EVs, but it unlocks the scope to include a plethora of super exciting technologies and fit for purpose, thoughtful user experience design. Imogen tried not to swoon too hard at the 800V architecture, 270KW Charging, 220 KW of Regen braking, reduction in rare earth metals, the substantial space and weight saving in the motor and batteries, or the 625Km range.. You can be the judge of whether or not she succeeded! @everythingelectricshow ‪@fullychargedshow‬

The overall length is 4.77m (so slightly longer than the EV6 you mentioned) but the wheelbase is actually 2.9m (the same as the EV6) - nowhere near 3.88m. You can tell that just by looking at it (and Audi's own website confirms it).

So one more big SUV with a huge battery to compensate the huge weight and bad aerodynamic, and off course at a huge price. Meanwhile German activists are burning the Tesla factory because of the evil (made in Germany) Tesla model Y. I have been driving an EV for more than 20 years, starting with a PSA 106 electric, and it starts to be irritating to see medias arguing against far too expansive and not even efficient EVs and at the same time complaining that a model Y is far too simple. And I do not own a model Y. I think I am just going to give up on EV news.

Audi Germany are showing a lot more information on this than the UK website. For instance it shows colour and wheel options but unfortunately I would like to know roughly what the Edition 1 spec costs above the base model price. The Edition 1 model includes 21" alloys with red break calipers, passenger screen, matrix signature lights and a proactive passenger protection system to the front, side and rear of the car, and a painted front grill. It also shows the Edition 1 model is available in two colour choices, magnet grey and ascari blue. On the base model it appears you get leather heated seats to the front and rear as standard, a heated steering wheel, B&O 3D sound system (with speakers in all headrests) plus the augmented head up display. It also seems there is an S Line trim between the base and Edition 1 versions. I've also read that sales will begin in the UK from April 30th and I'd expect deliveries in the autumn.

There is no V2L, no V2H, no V2G, and no internal or external power outlets. With a battery that big it would be nice to plug your house into that, but you can't. Or if you tow a caravan you might want to run the caravan's power supply off of the car, but you can't.

@t1n4444 4 ай бұрын

One wonders if manufacturers are shy on promoting the V2"anything" nonsense on the grounds the batteries get a kicking supplying a domestic load which impinges on the range. Most people are aware that the "advertised" range is something of a myth on the simple grounds nobody, repeat nobody, drives in the same way as anyone else and the stonking acceleration of some vehicles would become addictive. It would for me. Plus a manufacturer has no way of knowing how many passengers, the terrain, whether the regenerative braking would be selected or not, etc, etc. To read that a battery can gain sufficient charge in "ten minutes" to provide power for a "defined" range is laughable. It's also laughable how many battery huggers buy into some arrant nonsense, especially as many (most?) of them will never, ever find out for themselves yet will happily discuss all this trivia as if they truly understood the science. I wonder too if all this talk of governments being "persuaded" to offer subsidies for "anything" means that some people, via their taxes in any form, are going to pay for stuff they might not care for. When hydrogen becomes the fuel of choice and necessity, and it will, many battery huggers will be quite cross when HMG stumps up for our section of the European Hydrogen Backbone (Google is your friend) and offer subsidies for boiler replacements and infrastructure. Battery huggers might do well to recall that the idea of going green is to reduce CO2, try, rept try, to reduce the rate of global temperature rise so the ice sheets and caps don't melt and inundated where we live by next week. Not so much of "forget the cost" but "see the dry land". Plenty of disturbing info on how coastal cities will form part of the new sea bed. And if you feel the refugee problem is bad now, then wait until the planet's islands disappear beneath the waves ... And all because of the battery huggers ignorance of how much CO2 is produced in the manufacture of batteries. Hope that helps.

On paper at least. In the real world, as one says, it's the number of charging stations that matter. Imagine the waste of time having to queue for days and nights to get connected to a working charger, in the winter, when the domestic load takes priority. Vast storage batteries aren't necessarily going to help as they too are discharging in order to service said domestic load. Electricity supplies to domestic users to keep the circulatory pumps for gas fired c/h boilers, and not forgetting the logic boards.

When cars are involved - it is usually the 12v battery is dislodged in rough seas and shorts out on something metal under the bonnet. Cars should also be shipped with almost no fuel in them but this is seldom the case. EVs have never been the cause of a ship fire to date - but when they are subject to fire, they will burn like anything else. I do not know what happened with the VW / Porsche Ship fire other than it must have cost someone a great deal of money. Almost everything has some or all of it built in China - to ban imports would be very dangerous for the EU as bans work both ways.

Let's not get too carried away with how far this car is meant to go on a single charge....cold winter weather needs to be factored into the equation.

Lovely Imogen. Thank you so much for making your rear space review relatable. If it passes the Jack test then almost all of us would be happy. Of course all the FCS presenters are slim so cabin width is of concern to those of us who have.... more generously proportioned relatives.... But you really take the time to give us a good guide on leg and head room. Now, can you get Elliot to follow the same line please?

Just been on the Audi (UK) website and it’s £100 less than the Macan EV…£69700…You could buy a second hand etron GT and a Q4 eTron for that. Or pick up an RS6…..

This car is brilliant, the price is surprisingly low. The specs are perfect. There is no EV compromise with this vehicle at all. This car comes down to a choice in body styles and price point rather than EV vs ICE, a very important car. For those complaining about price etc, not every car is for you, this car is too expensive for me, but that doesn't mean it is a bad car, it's just a luxury car.

Looks like Audi is struggling to develop its design language, relying on trick lights. The interior has a Peugeot vibe to it.

I don’t like the design at all on the outside and feel that it’s Audi being too cautious and creating a car that looks dated already. The interior and tech looks like a massive improvement for the VW group. Way too expensive though. I think that Imogen is great especially at the science stuff, but I am missing Jack. Hope Jack’s ok.

The small trend hasn't come back around yet. Larger vehicles are easier to produce and more profitable. Most of the small models were eliminated in the US to push the customer into larger purchases. Small will come back around but I don't see it for at least another 5 years minimum.

You might eant to check the Mercedes concept car EQXX, the way it looks they could actually make a very close mass production version which should still be very close in efficency (but they probably won't). The EQXX has a 100kWh battery and a range of over 1000km on European highways. That means it's energy consumption per 100km is less than 10kW, that is less than 2/3 of what a Model 3 or Hyundai Kona needs. Car makers should really focus on efficiency and aerodynamic designs not hideous tank designs.
