What's New for 2025?
The SQ6 e-tron debuts this year atop the same platform as the Porsche Macan Electric, with which it shares many mechanical bits. You could look at it as a bargain Porsche, then, but it's also relatively expensive for this level of range and performance when you compare it to Tesla.

FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 Audi SQ6 e-tron, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
Here comes the law of diminishing returns again. We find ourselves talking about it a lot when it comes to high-performance variants of EVs. To wit, the SQ6 e-tron gives up more than 30 miles of range to the most efficient Q6 e-tron quattro, and while it does whisk you to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds versus 4.9, you're paying about $7k more to get into the SQ6 e-tron — and 4.9 is pretty quick already. If you want dual-motor AWD in your Q6 e-tron, we'd advise skipping the SQ6 version and keeping that $7k in your pocket.
