The front of the Audi Q6 e-tron Sportback will get an EV-rendition of Audi’s trademark ‘single-frame’ grille, slimline LED headlights and large vents. At the back sits a spoiler under the windshield that houses the third brake light.
On the inside, the Q6 e-tron Sportback is likely to take styling cues from the current Audi e-tron. It is said to get a dual-screen Audi MMI Navigation Plus infotainment suite, along with a digital instrument cluster. However, none of this information has been officially confirmed.

Audi says “what the car’s lines imply is translated into a standard of dynamic driving performance and everyday suitability befitting use for long drives.”
While the performance figures haven’t been officially revealed, Audi has hinted that the Q6 e-tron Sportback, like the A6 e-tron, will offer a combined output of 470hp and 800Nm of peak torque from its twin-motor, four-wheel drive powertrain.

Audi is also considering an RS version of the Q6 e-tron Sportback that may produce more than 500hp. It is said to get more aggressive styling, beefier brakes and a more dynamic chassis set-up. The hot version of the upcoming EV will rival the likes of the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT.
