CR has purchased a 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron Quattro Premium+ for our test program. The first of Audi's EVs to use their new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, the Q6 is designed to compete with the Lexus RZ, BMW iX, Genesis Electrified GV70, Rivian R1S, and Tesla Model Y. We share our first impressions on how the Q6 drives, its abundant safety features, range, and many, many, MANY controls, including its polarizing HUD display. We also discuss the most efficient way to drive a vehicle that can switch between EV and hybrid modes, how horsepower is calculated in a hybrid car, and a good replacement for a Mazda CX-5 for a family with many large dogs!
