NEW Audi Q6 / SQ6 E-Tron Review: Is Audi's Macan Rival Worth £93,000? | 4K

[@adriancooper78]

Shaking my head. £93,000 or for us folk in the United States, that's 117,615$ WHO CAN AFFORD such things!!! Clearly these are LEASE ONLY vehicles. Also, I can't wait until Audi starts incorporating some of the Rivian's technology into their vehicles. If Audi starts using some of Rivian's hub motors for their all wheel drive systems then we'll start to see some faster 0 to 60 kph/mph times and some serious off road prowess. Of course this well come at a SATILLITE high price point!!

[@J_Starr007]

@adriancooper78 no one is taking an Audi Q6 off road, no one's taking an Audi anything off road.. I think it's safe to say that's the last thing Audi is looking to do. And Rivians haven't been out long enough to even be able to determine if any of their technology is worth being adopted and adapted to any car/truck from any brand, especially Audi.

[@adriancooper78]

@J_Starr007 Yeah!! I don't take my Audi off-roading!!! The Audi Q6 is a bit too slick to go off the road. The VW group did send 2 Audi's to Rivian to adapt their zonal architectural structure to their vehicles. Isn't that one of the reasons why VW is investing some 5 billion dollars into Rivian?

[@brandonwhite9591]

Audi are only selling this car though Audi directly in the UK. The dealers can’t offer a discount on a new one. Even if you buy in the showroom it’s sold via Audi not the dealership. The dealership just gets a sale fee. However it will be interesting to see if a dealer buys one for full price from Audi and then sells it at a loss two months later, sounds like a good way to go bust.

Maybe at least a V6 but sadly the days of the V8 as we know it are numbered. Unless we can create and populize a new synthetic fuel that is more efficient than petrol and still keeps ice engines alive. It's not all about power. It's about whether a car is fun to drive or not aswell

[@crventura]

Dude, I'm on my third electric car now, batterie longevity was never an issue. I've seen Teslas with 400.000Kms on the odometer, and FYI nowadays batteries are modular you no longer need to replace a full pack ;)

[@drunkenwhiskeyeu]

@@crventura I'm left wondering here why is it that big part of US EV owners are considering going back to ICE. They have everything going for them: subsidies, sun, cheap electricity, big SUV EVs, .. and still. It's a terrible sign. Just to clarify: I'm not against EVs. I live in mainland Europe in a big city in an apartment, and we don't have enough parking spaces as it is - let alone some dedicated to charging. It's just not gonna pick up, unless the governments spend tons of money making EVs the most expensive piece of crap there is.

[@crventura]

@@drunkenwhiskeyeu I Tend to disagree. I live in Portugal, I charge my car every night comfortably in my garage, and I know no one that moved from an electric to a combustion engine again. I spend 74€ in electricity with my Tesla performance (514hp), I make 100km a day and believe-me I drive fast, if I'm to do the same 100km with my other car Z4 35is FBO I would be spending 646€ in petrol, adding the maintenance cost and taxes you know were Im getting... It would be only foolish to swap batteries for petrol with these numbers. As of not having a place to charge, near your home, I'm guessing you don't make 100km per day driving from home to the office, an EV with 500km of autonomy would last you, with a single charge, for a week. Take the kids to Mcdonalds once a week and problem solved 🤗

[@mothusiraseroka1808]

Overall I think Audi has done best here. They listened and realised that absurd EV performance is not more important than ride quality. And the looks of this car are great. Ive always loved Audi's pioneering with headlights, taillights and all lights in general. Great job presenting this Alex!

[@seanmcpherson7962]

Okay, let's see if you really believe tht. There are better more comfortable riding midsize. SUV's and there are way better performance. SUV's in this segment, it's not hard to tune the car to be a little quicker. That's all anybody's going to really want. They don't need to ask q 62 be a trap car, but it needs to be faster Otherwise what are you really buying? There are ice SUV's in the segments that are quicker and that ride better, and you don't have to have charging issues etc. Etc and don't have massive amounts of weight in the corners to slug. Around. It just doesn't make any sense if it's not quicker It just makes no sense if it's not quicker

[@mothusiraseroka1808]

​@seanmcpherson7962 Dude you're looking at this in one dimension. I don't live in a place with a lot of corners for me to sling cars around. I have a million speed traps and police in my area for me to be getting close to any performance numbers manufacturers claim. Safety is my main goal, I like Volvo & Polestar, but I also like German manufacturers. Audi have a lot of gimmicks that entertain the kids and comfort the wife. The car is different but not too quirky and out there where when something hits the fan, I wont be struggling for months to repair the thing. This type of car suits my demograph. I also get massive discounts and benefits driving an EV in my area.

Are you sure the front/rear wheel width difference is for handling and not for efficiency? Smaller front wheels have to push through less air and are therefore more efficient. You see skinny tyres on lots of EV's for this reason.
