2026 Audi Q6 and SQ6 Sportback price and specs

Audi’s electric SUV range has now been completed with the launch of swoopy Sportback versions of the mid-size Q6 e-tron and SQ6 e-tron.

The entry-level Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron has the same price ($99,900 before on-road costs) as its more upright Q6 e-tron equivalent, though the sportier quattro and SQ6 variants command a $5000 price premium over their more conservative stablemates.

Audi says the new Sportback SUVs are arriving at showrooms nationwide shortly.

Revealed last October, the Q6 e-tron Sportback shares the Q6 e-tron’s 2899mm wheelbase but features a sleeker, slipperier body. Its drag coefficient is 0.26Cd, down from 0.28 in the Q6 e-tron.

The Sportback lineup is coming here in all bar long-range, rear-wheel drive Performance guise. You can get this variant in the regular Q6 e-tron, however.

Audi now offers SUV and coupe SUV versions of its Q4 e-tron, Q6 e-tron and Q8 e-tron electric SUVs in Australia, though the latter lineup is on its way out.
