The Audi Q6 is a full-size luxury crossover SUV with three-row seating produced by Audi through SAIC Audi joint venture in China since 2022. It was released in July 2022.[1][2]

Overview[edit]

The Audi Q6 shares the same MQB Evo platform with the similarly sized Volkswagen Talagon and Teramont/Atlas.[3] While not a flagship model, it is the largest model currently marketed by Audi, outnumbering the Q7 and Q8 by exterior dimensions. It is mechanically unrelated to the upcoming Q6 e-tron.[4][5]

Design wise, Audi officially calls the Audi Q6 a "land jet", and according to the Q6 designer Siming Yan, the exterior design of the Q6 was inspired by the kirin.[6]

Powertrain[edit]

In China, three engine options are offered, which are 2.0-litre petrol engine marketed as 40TFSI Quattro, 2.0-litre petrol engine with higher power output marketed as 45TFSI Quattro and a 2.5-litre VR6 petrol engine marketed as 50TFSI Quattro.[7][8]
