2025 AUDI SQ6 | WA125BGF1SA025478

Body Styles

The Audi SQ6 is a five-door midsize electric SUV built on the PPE platform, offering seating for five and a sleek, athletic profile that borders on sportback proportions. The front features an enclosed Singleframe grille flanked by slim matrix LED headlights and sculpted intakes that highlight its performance intent. The side profile is defined by a sloping roofline and pronounced shoulder line that adds tension and motion, even at a standstill.

At 4.8 meters in length and with a wide stance, the SQ6 balances SUV functionality with coupe-like elegance. The cabin is pushed forward slightly due to the EV architecture, maximizing interior space and emphasizing the short front overhang. The rear is dominated by a full-width light bar, a subtle roof spoiler, and a sculpted diffuser that hints at its sporty aspirations without overstatement. Overall, it’s a silhouette that communicates performance and modernity in equal measure.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

The designation “SQ6” follows Audi’s performance hierarchy, where the “S” prefix indicates a sportier, more powerful version of a standard model. In this case, the SQ6 is the athletic sibling to the Q6 e-tron. The number “6” places it within the mid-size SUV segment, above the Q4 but below the Q8 in terms of size and market positioning. The naming strategy ties it closely to both combustion and electric traditions within Audi’s lineup.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The SQ6 is available in a refined palette of Audi signature tones such as Daytona Gray Pearl, Mythos Black Metallic, and Glacier White, complemented by striking hues like Ultra Blue and District Green. Special paints, including S‑exclusive options with matte or crystal effects, are available for personalization. The black optics package enhances the grille, window trims, and mirror housings with gloss black accents, reinforcing its performance credentials.

Inside, the cabin blends performance and technology with a strong sense of minimalism. Sports seats come standard in leather and Dinamica microfiber, with optional Valcona leather featuring S embossing and contrast stitching in red or gray. The wraparound dashboard houses Audi’s three-screen layout: a digital instrument cluster, infotainment touchscreen, and climate panel. Aluminum, carbon fiber, or open-pore wood inlays give owners flexibility in tone and texture. Ambient lighting extends across the dashboard and doors with multicolor customization.

Wheel options start at 20 inches and extend up to 22 inches, with multiple spoke designs ranging from Y‑spoke to twin-arm motifs. Finishes include titanium matte, gloss anthracite, or bicolor diamond cut, giving each SQ6 trim a distinct visual character depending on the chosen combination of paint, wheels, and trim package.

vs Competitors

The Audi SQ6 enters a competitive arena populated by performance EVs such as the BMW iX M60, Mercedes EQE SUV AMG 53, and Porsche Macan EV. Compared to the BMW, the SQ6 offers a more composed, less extroverted performance feel, with greater emphasis on interior refinement and design coherence. Against the AMG EQE, it provides similar straight-line pace but feels lighter and more agile, with a less digital steering feel. Versus the Macan EV, the SQ6 doesn’t aim to match outright sharpness, instead offering a more relaxed, luxurious take on speed and control.

In terms of technology, the SQ6 benefits from Audi’s advanced MMI touch interface, OTA update capability, and its high-end sound and lighting packages. Range is competitive, with fast-charging support and over 500 km of WLTP range. As a package, it offers an elegant alternative for buyers seeking performance without the aggressive branding or harsh ride often found in its rivals. It feels like an electric Audi should: polished, fast, confident — but never trying too hard.

Fun Fact

The SQ6 is one of the first models built on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE), a joint venture between Audi and Porsche that underpins a new generation of performance-oriented electric vehicles. This shared architecture not only reduces development time and cost but allows both brands to fine-tune vehicles with completely different personalities — a testament to the platform’s flexibility and engineering sophistication.
