• Inside the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron are many screens and an available head-up display that makes things feel more natural.
  • The interior of Audi’s upcoming EV SUV is also made with materials that are good for the earth.
  • When the second row is pulled down, the Q6 e-tron can hold up to 54 cubic feet of stuff behind the back seats.

The inside of the Audi 2025 Q6 e-tron, the company’s first electric car (EV) built on its new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) design, has been shown. In effect, the model is a look into the future of Audi, which includes a dashboard with screens and other tech-related content.

First, a look inside

You can give up on the idea that rooms with lots of screens will become a passing trend. The Q6 e-tron, which has not one, not two, but three screens in front of its passengers, is the latest example of where new car cabins are going. The 11.9- and 14.5-inch OLED gauge clusters and the infotainment screens are all set within a single, curved bezel emphasized by ambient lighting. Safety rules say that the 10.9-inch touchscreen for the front-seat passenger should block the driver’s view of its information.

With the Q6 e-tron, Audi is implementing new infotainment software built on Android, including a “self-learning voice assistant.” The Q6’s artificial intelligence can be turned on by saying “Hey, Audi,” just like the MBUX system in Mercedes cars. Audi says that the voice assistant can learn a driver’s preferences and make tips, but the full extent of what it can do is unknown. How long will it take the AI to figure out that we want the temperature in the car to be 69°F, the seats to be able to breathe, and the driving wheel to be warm? We’re eager to learn more.

A head-up display with virtual reality is a new feature that can be added to an Audi’s technology. The speed, directional, and traffic signs that mirror the SUV’s windshield are tilted forward to look like they are floating in front of the car. Audi says this makes driving more accessible, especially in low-light situations. Still, the last word will be up to each driver.

Ambient lighting is another controversial trait that is becoming more common in new cars (but this author likes it). The Q6 e-tron has customizable color options and interactive lighting features like a “welcome” action and the ability to let people know when the car is locked or open. Two other interesting ideas are to see how charged the EV is and to imitate the turn lights. Isn’t that neat?

Cargo Volume: Comparing Q6 and Q5

The Audi Q6 e-tron should have the same size as the Q5 SUV by 2025. This size comparison seemed fitting when driving a prototype on the mythical Faroe Islands. Audi hasn’t said how big the Q6 is inside, but it has shown off the EV’s cargo space. When the second-row seats are folded, the room behind them goes from 19 to 54 cubic feet. The second number is the Q5’s highest cargo capacity, while the first is seven cubic feet less. The front truck of the e-tron adds at least two cubes. The Q6 may have more passenger space, which would make up for the price difference.

Inside the Q6 e-tron, the steering wheel is square, flat on top and bottom, and full of buttons that can be activated by touching. We like that there is a physical knob for the volume, but we are sad that there are no other physical buttons or switches. On the door panels, for example, the capacitive buttons for the door locks, lights, mirrors, and memory seat settings are set up on a plasticky surface. But thank you, but no.

Some people can ignore the details, but others will be upset. We can draw some conclusions when the Audi Q6 e-tron and the faster SQ6 version are ready to buy in the fall of that year.
