Audi Q6L e-tron, with an L for Long

Comment
Audi Q6L

The “L” letter in this Audi’s name indicates a long wheelbase and the ability to cover long distances.

The Audi Q6L e-tron features a wheelbase that is 105 millimeters longer, which allows not only increased interior space but also the installation of a larger battery. Thanks to this, it will be possible to reach a range of over 700 kilometers… in the CLTC cycle. This Chinese standard is much less strict than the European WLTP standard, but it still ranks very high in terms of range.

Nothing very new, actually, since for decades, Audi has been manufacturing “L” models with extended wheelbases for the Chinese market. The Audi A6L and A4L are the most well-known high-volume versions, alongside the Audi Q5L, A8L, and A8L Horch. Today, the four-ring brand adds the L model to the Q6 e-tron lineup, offering even more space, comfort, and ease of daily use. Paired with the new interior design philosophy, the Q6L e-tron offers a very exclusive and generous space for passengers in this market that demands plenty of room.

The Audi Q6L e-tron is the first PPE model to be produced at the new factory in Changchun. The PPE platform, developed jointly with Porsche, and the electronic architecture E3 1.2 are significant advances in expanding Audi’s global electric vehicle lineup. They mark the beginning of a complete strengthening and rejuvenation of the model portfolio.

The new lithium-ion battery fitted to this model consists of 12 modules and 192 prismatic cells with a total gross capacity of 107 kWh. This is only 7 kWh more than the version available at launch for the Audi Q6 e-tron quattro and Audi SQ6 e-tron. Thanks to 800-volt technology and a maximum DC charging capacity of 270 kW as standard, the Q6L e-tron enables quick charging stops. Up to 260 kilometers of range can be recharged in just ten minutes at a suitable charging station. The state of charge increases from 10% to 80% in 25 minutes.

The Audi Q6L e-tron will be offered in rear-wheel drive version with 255 kW power and all-wheel drive quattro version with 345 kW. Ultimately, this L is much more suited to the length of the vehicle than its range.
