    Audi Q6 e-tron Offroad - Concept or Production?

      Audi has had a number of iconic auto's that have been loved the world over, today the Q6 e-tron Offroad joins the family as a concept or production?

    To quote: Audi CEO Gernot Döllner: “Highly emotive reinterpretation of quattro”

    This pretty much states the drive by Audi to offer a showcase EV that covers the potential of the PPE platform.

    Audi developed portal axles that enable gradient climbs of up to 100% with a wider track, increased ride height that delivers on a spectacular appearance that no other EV has delivered today.

    The Audi Q6 Offroad features a two-motor AWD Quattro powertrain that delivers 380 kW or 510 HP. A progressive off-road stance that increases the ride height by 160mm or 6.3 inches and a wider track of 250mm or 9.8 inches over current Audi width. The new portal axles allow an increase in torque by 50 percent, enabling the Q6 Offroad to climb a 45-degree gradient with no problems.

    The Q6 Off-road is built off the Audi Q6 e-tron, the first model built on the PPE or Premium Platform Electric system. It is the new reference point for electrically driven Vorsprung durch Technik. The Audi Q6 model series not only excels with impressive driving and charging performance but also sets standards in range and efficiency per their press release.

    The Q6 e-tron offroad concept can be seen in action on February 1, 2025, at the F.A.T. Ice Race and on the social media channels of @Audi Sport.

    The interior is currently what is found in the Q6 e-tron. Since this is based on an existing production version EV, the Q6 Offroad could easily be put into production based on feedback from various events where Audi is going to show this off and gather attendees' response. What do you think, should this go into production?

      Audi Q2 - a brand and vehicle I wasn't expecting to try out - review based on a rental of several days

      MECHANICAL PHOTOS What's different here?  It may not be apparent.  Once you start opening the hood, there is no need to manually place the prop rod to keep the hood open.  This is to be expected for a more premium car line, whereas VW-SEAT-Skoda tend to have prop rods that you slot into place.   This is a transverse view of the engine bay where there are 4 cylinders at work under the hood, and which are assisted by a turbocharger as the plumbing would indicate. - - - - - END OF PHOTOS

      INTERIOR PHOTOS This is the view upon getting into the driver's seat; the leather steering wheel is nicely stitched and finished This is the view from the passenger front door From a driver's seat that has been adjusted upward, the view over the cowl is good (the best is probably that of the last-gen Chevy Malibu); not the way the infotainment screen is slightly recessed and how circular air ducts figure prominently Instrumentation is very simple (less is more?) and the insertion of temperature and fuel gauges is an interesting presentation; the info box is between the tachometer and the speedometer, with it being set to show vehicle speed when in "drive."  Also, the odometer (re)setting is right at the base of this photo Controlling the infotainment screen is done by that circular dial.  It's probably a more practical way and helps the longevity of what would have been a touch screen, but there is learning curve This shows the seating and space available to rear seat passengers This shows the visibility given the real sail panel, and also shows how the front bucket seats are finished

      EXTERIOR PHOTOS This is the front of the slightly angled vehicle which sports the typical Audi grille vocabulary The side of the vehicle shows a tall beltline and the rear sail panel appears to be thick, but, once inside, it's more manageable than it looks from the outside This is the rear of the vehicle, and one can see the cover that is over the cargo area

      Yup, my company has flown me on just about everyone over the last couple decades and for the most part Alaska Airlines for U.S. travel and then Asiana, Korean Air, JAL are my favorites for the Asian rim, Lufthansa for European flights.

      They have had some incredible fares.  If needing 2 bags, plus a carry-on and a backpack, it made those fares shine.  If you check in when the period opens, you usually get group A or B, so it's not a bad seat.  They announced assigned seating a while back ... that doesn't bother me so much.  There won't be much to differentiate them, except for maybe a few point to point treks that they do well.  It'll just push me over back to the legacy cariers.
