2025 Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron Launches in the US with Sleek Design, 513km Range & 509HP SQ6 Performance Variant

Audi is expanding its premium EV lineup in the U.S. with the official launch of the 2025 Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron, a sleek and coupe-styled alternative to the boxier Q6 E-Tron SUV. The new electric crossover will hit U.S. dealerships before the end of July and comes standard with dual-motor all-wheel drive, regardless of trim.

Audi Q6 Sportback E-Tron: Design Meets Performance

Starting at $70,895, the Q6 Sportback E-Tron features a 94.4 kWh battery, producing 456 horsepower and achieving 0–97 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Thanks to its aerodynamic coupe-style roofline—37 mm lower than the SUV—the Sportback boasts a longer estimated range of 513 km, a 19 km gain over its SUV sibling.

High-Performance SQ6 Sportback E-Tron

For those seeking more excitement, Audi also offers the SQ6 Sportback E-Tron, starting at $77,595. It uses the same battery but ramps power to 509 horsepower, cutting the 0–97 km/h sprint to just 4.1 seconds. The trade-off? A slightly lower range of 455 km due to the added performance output.
