Audi Q6 E-tron Review (2024)

Inside, the touchpoints are immaculately trimmed with suitably upmarket materials and the switchgear is mostly well thought out.

The head-up display is among the best in the business, with clearly legible numbers and a few cool touches such as displaying real time sat nav data onto the windscreen, showing you exactly which lane you should be in.

The speed is also shown in the head up display. The size of the numbers can change temporarily depending on throttle input. For instance, if you mash it moving away from a toll road it will comically SCREAM your speed at you with increasingly larger fonts..

On the driver’s door is a panel with buttons for the headlights, foglights and wing mirrors. The cruise control is on one quite old school stalk beneath the steering wheel. The whole adjustment is also physical, but you need to use the infotainment screen for the climate control.

Functions such as lane keep assist and speed warnings are dealt with within a couple of clicks of the infotainment.

The infotainment package is as comprehensive as it is easy to use. The 11.9in screen in front of the steering wheel is easy to read, while the main 14.5in one in the middle is also slick.

I say middle because there’s also the option of a 10.9in front passenger display. This allows the passenger to make alterations to the radio (or Apple CarPlay/Android Auto), heating and nav instructions. They can also stream videos, but the driver can’t see them.

If I was picking faults, the drive selector is borrowed from elsewhere in the VW Group with a shiny plastic that looks cheap.

The rear boot – at 526 litres –  is amply sized with underfloor storage for the cables. Yet,  there’s also a front-boot with enough room for cables too. 

The leg room in each row is comparable with any rival, the slimline battery pack means the floor feels no higher than in a combustion-powered crossover and the general ambience is one of airiness and reassuringly solid quality.
