It does look good but you might want to check those numbers on the wheelbase. The overall length is 4.77m (so slightly longer than the EV6 you mentioned) but the wheelbase is actually 2.9m (the same as the EV6) - nowhere near 3.88m. You can tell that just by looking at it (and Audi's own website confirms it).

I believe there is a typo in the video, a 3.8 wheelbase would be impressive but believe it is just under 2.9m.

So one more big SUV with a huge battery to compensate the huge weight and bad aerodynamic, and off course at a huge price. Meanwhile German activists are burning the Tesla factory because of the evil (made in Germany) Tesla model Y. I have been driving an EV for more than 20 years, starting with a PSA 106 electric, and it starts to be irritating to see medias arguing against far too expansive and not even efficient EVs and at the same time complaining that a model Y is far too simple. And I do not own a model Y. I think I am just going to give up on EV news.

Audi Germany are showing a lot more information on this than the UK website. For instance it shows colour and wheel options but unfortunately I would like to know roughly what the Edition 1 spec costs above the base model price. The Edition 1 model includes 21" alloys with red break calipers, passenger screen, matrix signature lights and a proactive passenger protection system to the front, side and rear of the car, and a painted front grill. It also shows the Edition 1 model is available in two colour choices, magnet grey and ascari blue. On the base model it appears you get leather heated seats to the front and rear as standard, a heated steering wheel, B&O 3D sound system (with speakers in all headrests) plus the augmented head up display. It also seems there is an S Line trim between the base and Edition 1 versions. I've also read that sales will begin in the UK from April 30th and I'd expect deliveries in the autumn.

We owned a Q5 for 11 years. Best car we ever drove - albeit terribly expensive to maintain. Now we have a Model Y - the least worst option in Canada. The Q6 may be a little over the top, but I'd buy it purely for the utilitarian design, and all those Audi buttons!

Great production like always @fullycharged! And like many others have said, I also am much more excited about the coming A6 wagon EV. There are plenty of SUVs already Audi.

There is no V2L, no V2H, no V2G, and no internal or external power outlets. With a battery that big it would be nice to plug your house into that, but you can't. Or if you tow a caravan you might want to run the caravan's power supply off of the car, but you can't.

@t1n4444

Ай бұрын

One wonders if manufacturers are shy on promoting the V2"anything" nonsense on the grounds the batteries get a kicking supplying a domestic load which impinges on the range. Most people are aware that the "advertised" range is something of a myth on the simple grounds nobody, repeat nobody, drives in the same way as anyone else and the stonking acceleration of some vehicles would become addictive. It would for me. Plus a manufacturer has no way of knowing how many passengers, the terrain, whether the regenerative braking would be selected or not, etc, etc. To read that a battery can gain sufficient charge in "ten minutes" to provide power for a "defined" range is laughable. It's also laughable how many battery huggers buy into some arrant nonsense, especially as many (most?) of them will never, ever find out for themselves yet will happily discuss all this trivia as if they truly understood the science. I wonder too if all this talk of governments being "persuaded" to offer subsidies for "anything" means that some people, via their taxes in any form, are going to pay for stuff they might not care for. When hydrogen becomes the fuel of choice and necessity, and it will, many battery huggers will be quite cross when HMG stumps up for our section of the European Hydrogen Backbone (Google is your friend) and offer subsidies for boiler replacements and infrastructure. Battery huggers might do well to recall that the idea of going green is to reduce CO2, try, rept try, to reduce the rate of global temperature rise so the ice sheets and caps don't melt and inundated where we live by next week. Not so much of "forget the cost" but "see the dry land". Plenty of disturbing info on how coastal cities will form part of the new sea bed. And if you feel the refugee problem is bad now, then wait until the planet's islands disappear beneath the waves ... And all because of the battery huggers ignorance of how much CO2 is produced in the manufacture of batteries. Hope that helps.

Oh look, another expensive suv, that only relatively rich people can afford. Audi need to start making small EV's, and Fully Charged should be driving these cars instead of what seem paid advertorials.

You could put a gas burning range extender in the vehicle and it would still burn less gasoline than a conventional ICE or mild hybrid. You'll never get that carbon trapped back into the ocean or crust. At least with batteries once we've mined enough you can reuse 92-98% of the mineral content. Governments just need to setup the recycling infrastructure because no private company wants to outlay that cash. You'll still get pollution from tires and occasional brake dust but ER visits for asthma (#1 ER visit in US) will come down.

It is nice looking. I would be interested in how it drives. I have a Tesla Model X Performance and it is both fast and has a lot of nice features. But definitely open to other models that can provide the same or better experience. Tesla's charing network is second to none, so if Audi can convert to the NACS connector and their cars can auto-route or plan your road trips to ensure you get charged at reasonable intervals, it would be a contender to put pressure on Tesla.

On paper at least. In the real world, as one says, it's the number of charging stations that matter. Imagine the waste of time having to queue for days and nights to get connected to a working charger, in the winter, when the domestic load takes priority. Vast storage batteries aren't necessarily going to help as they too are discharging in order to service said domestic load. Electricity supplies to domestic users to keep the circulatory pumps for gas fired c/h boilers, and not forgetting the logic boards.

Cars should also be shipped with almost no fuel in them but this is seldom the case. EVs have never been the cause of a ship fire to date - but when they are subject to fire, they will burn like anything else.

This was brilliantly done, but sometimes I wonder if you really should present us 2.5 ton bricks, wider and longer than car spots, with a Cx worse than a washing machine, costing more than anyone should put in a vehicle (then complaining about the cost of public transports). We need to stop burning stuff, but also stop wasting energy (every wasted kWh is in the form of heat) . It's the kind of vehicle made for people who don't care about nature or other people... Audi will do its own advertising to them 😉 (but I still love you !)

yes, programmable lights are somewhat of a gimmick - but what I would do with it is to switch the indicator, to either to a simple on-off, or if it has to pulse, then it would come on then pulse off. call me picky, if you must, but that's how indicators should work! But, apart from this, it's the only pointless bit of style for style sake about this car - and that's a good thing! It is nice to see a car manufacturer spending the development time and budget on things that matter. that way you don't mind paying the price tag

Nice review this! Although it is just another faceless Audi from the outside I liked the interior. Have VAG cracked their efficiency and weight issues??

This car is brilliant, the price is surprisingly low. The specs are perfect. There is no EV compromise with this vehicle at all. This car comes down to a choice in body styles and price point rather than EV vs ICE, a very important car. For those complaining about price etc, not every car is for you, this car is too expensive for me, but that doesn't mean it is a bad car, it's just a luxury car.

Audi finds their new brand ambassador…. Brilliant

why is there an automated charging flap….Perhaps a solution in search of a problem?
