2023 Munich Motor Show - Audi Q6 E-Tron
- Audi is expected to unveil its battery electric Q6 E-Tron SUV at the 2023 Munich Motor Show, which will be in the carmaker's range between the battery electric Q4 E-Tron and the Q8 E-Tron.
- The battery electric Audi range is therefore being built rapidly, in order to better position itself on the market against BMW and Mercedes, its two main competitors. It is however unfortunate that the Audi brand has not yet invested in the category of battery electric sedans, apart from the E-Tron GT which is located in the very top range.
- BMW has its Mini Cooper, i4, i5 and i7 sedans while Mercedes has its EQE, EQS and its Smart. We are therefore impatiently awaiting the launch of the battery electric Audi A2, A4, A6 and A8 as the carmaker has announced that the even numbers attributed to its models will be dedicated to battery electric cars.
- The new Audi Q6 E-Tron SUV is the brand's first model to be based on the PPE platform that will be used by other Volkswagen group models such as the future Porsche Macan, a higher-end platform than the MQB and MEB which is currently reserved for Audi and Porsche.
- In 2022, Audi produced 109,353 electric vehicles including 57,301 Q4 E-Tron, 39,986 Q8 E-Tron and 12,066 E-Tron GT according to Inovev, which represents barely 7% of its global production. Inovev expects 50,000 units per year of the new Q6 E-Tron.
