The entry-level Audi Q6 Sportback Premium arrives with a notable price difference, costing $5,800 more than its standard SUV counterpart. This premium comes with several distinct enhancements, starting with the coupe-inspired design. The Sportback features a sleeker, sloped roofline that sits 37 mm lower than the regular Q6 SUV, giving it a more dynamic and aerodynamic appearance. Alongside this stylish silhouette, the model is outfitted with an S line exterior package and rolls on 19-inch alloy wheels, giving it a sportier stance on the road.
Inside, the Q6 Sportback Premium continues to impress with a suite of upscale features. Standard equipment includes leather-trimmed seats, a large panoramic sunroof that floods the cabin with natural light, and a high-tech digital layout. Drivers are greeted by an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster that displays key vehicle data, while the center console is dominated by a 14.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, providing access to navigation, media, and vehicle settings.
Stepping up to the Premium Plus trim, which starts at $73,400, brings a more refined interior experience. This version adds a heated steering wheel, a Bang & Olufsen premium sound system for immersive audio quality, and enhanced ambient lighting with Audi’s LED Interior Lighting Plus package. From a safety and technology perspective, the Premium Plus is equipped with advanced driver assistance features, including adaptive cruise assist and an augmented reality head-up display that overlays navigation and driving information directly onto the windshield for improved situational awareness.
At the top of the lineup is the Prestige trim, priced at $75,400. This model includes acoustic glass for the front doors to improve cabin quietness, and it offers a dedicated 10.9-inch display for the front passenger, allowing them to interact with entertainment and navigation features. Additionally, the Prestige benefits from an adaptive air suspension system that enhances both ride comfort and performance, along with upgraded LED daytime running lights for a more distinctive front-end appearance.
Powering the Q6 Sportback e-tron is a 100 kWh battery that feeds a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup capable of delivering 422 horsepower—or up to 456 hp when Launch Control is activated. This allows the vehicle to sprint from 0 to 96 km/h in just 4.9 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 209 km/h. The driving range reaches up to 513 km on a full charge, and with support for 270 kW DC fast charging, the battery can be replenished from 10 to 80% in as little as 21 minutes.
For those seeking even greater performance, the SQ6 variant offers an enhanced powertrain producing 483 hp—or 509 hp with Launch Control—dropping the 0–96 km/h time to just 4.1 seconds. This version also sees its top speed increased to 230 km/h, although its range slightly decreases to 455 km due to the additional power output. Complementing its performance focus, the SQ6 is equipped with a sport-tuned adaptive air suspension for improved handling and comfort. Braking performance is also upgraded, thanks to a high-performance front braking system with six-piston calipers and larger 375 mm discs, delivering stronger and more consistent stopping power.
