The 2025 Audi SQ6 Sportback e-tron UK redefines what an electric SUV can be. Combining the bold presence of the Q6 SUV e-tron with the sleek Sportback silhouette, Audi has crafted a progressive, sporty design that appeals to drivers who value style as much as performance. Built on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the SQ6 Sportback e-tron delivers exceptional range, efficiency, and versatility.
Iconic Sportback Design
Echoing the first-generation Audi TT Coupé, the SQ6 Sportback features a sloping roofline that enhances its sporty aesthetics. Its aerodynamic profile, with a 0.28 cd value, gives it the longest range in the Q6 e-tron family, up to 402 miles in the performance variant. The 37mm lower roofline, flat rear window, and signature aluminum-look trims emphasize its dynamic stance. Digital daytime running lights and a continuous rear light strip further highlight the SQ6’s presence on UK roads.
Spacious and Functional Interior
Inside, the SQ6 Sportback e-tron combines elegance and practicality. The 511-litre luggage space expands to 1,373 litres when the rear seats fold down, complemented by a 64-litre frunk. The 2,899mm wheelbase ensures ample room in all seating positions. High-quality materials like Dinamica microfiber and recycled fabrics create a luxurious yet sustainable cabin. Optional S line features, ambient lighting, and the Sound & Vision pack further enhance comfort and style.
Performance and Powertrains
At the heart of the SQ6 Sportback e-tron is a 100kWh battery with 94.9 kWh net capacity and all-wheel drive, producing 490PS (517PS with launch control). The SUV accelerates from 0-62mph in just 4.3 seconds, with a maximum range of 367 miles. Other variants include:

Fast charging is impressively quick, with up to 164 miles added in just 10 minutes at 260 kW.
Agile Handling and Driving Dynamics
The SQ6 Sportback’s sporty design is matched by precision handling. Redesigned front axle, optimized trailing arms, and rear-biased torque distribution enhance steering feedback and agility. The Frequency Selective Damping system and adaptive air suspension ensure comfort and composure under all driving conditions, from cobblestone streets to high-speed cruising.

Features include i-Size seating compatibility, automatic front airbag deactivation, and optimized restraint systems for children, making it one of the safest electric SUVs on UK roads.
