Mach E vs. 2025 Q6 Etron

[LincolnLuvr]

Out of Spec's initial look. The Q6 Etron is not large; it's even smaller than Cadillac's upcoming small EV, the Optiq.

That 10-80% charging time seems too long for 270kW. It must not hold that rate for very long.

A number of the listed specs here are incorrect. Per Audi's own press release for prelim US specs:

• 10-80% charging in 21 minutes at 800V, the 30 min charging figure seems to be at 400V chargers where the pack is split for parallel charging
• 0-60mph (with launch control) in 5.0s for the Q6 and 4.2s for the SQ6

Also, German automakers tend to only include space up to the tonneau cover / roller shade in their cargo measurements, which results in a more conservative figure. If you compare Thomas's measurements in the Autogefuhl video versus his video of the Mach-E, you'll see that the Q6 has a noticeably deeper and taller cargo area despite what the specs say.

The Mach-E was a great package for its time (and still is) but this vehicle clearly has some advantages on paper with both better range and much faster charging derived from Porsche/Audi's experience with the Taycan/e-tron GT. The market is moving fast and hopefully Ford will stay competitive with its next-gen products.

Of course specs alone don't sell a car, and the most important number is price which we don't know yet in the US.

Bjorn checks out the interior of the Q6.

- Can be optioned with a large augmented reality HUD
- Rear legroom is worse than that of the Q4
- Frunk is surprisingly large, almost Mach-E sized
- Trunk looks larger than 18.6 cubic feet?

According to Autogefuhl, the 2nd row has barely any legroom. I don't understand why Audi couldn't make it larger.

- 100 kWh battery with 94.4 kWh usable
- 10-80% in 21 minutes
- range?
- Cargo space behind the 2nd row is allegedly 30.2 cubic feet according to Autoblog. However I think that's a mistake as published photos show a smaller area. Also other sources list the cargo space at 19.2 cubic feet.

Overall not loving it, it’s an interesting product (specs/performance) but visually it doesn’t do it for me.

Absolutely will - even though I’ve sold my MME, I still roam around here regularly.
Driving a Ioniq 5 in the meantime, it’s peppier than my Premium AWD was but I miss the Mach-e.

The Electrek article has a charge curve. Likely perfect conditions, but they say it holds over 100 kW up to 80%.

Waiting to see the curve from Kyle, curious to see what he gets.
