Got the 55 etron myself currently … next few months I need to start looking at its replacement… I have big dog … Alaskan malamute that is just comfortable enough in the etron 55… Your video has helped with my doubts on moving to the Q6 … as I was concerned with the on paper figures with the 30 or so less litres quoted on the Q6 vs the Q8 …. So you feel yourself that the Q6 is more usable space than the 55 model boot ? Thanks And cheers for the videos ! Really helpful 👍🏻

What are the costs for insurance and vehicle excise duty for the Q6 EV

Thank you for the video(s). Pretty much the same as you, going from an e-tron 55 Black Addition to the Q6. In fact the same model. I have spent some time trying to find reviews on the Q6 sport Quattro but all are top end spec cars. So really pleased that I found your channel.

Perfect; even better than Audi's own helper vids!

Awesome review mate 🙌🙌🙌

That's useful information regarding the HUD...it works well. Can the car be set to follow other cars at a certain distance...and adjust its speed accordingly ?. Also if the Q6 driver should lose attention and the car ahead suddenly stops would the Q6 emergency brake to avoid an accident?.

How do you like owning the car? Any glitches or regrets?

Hi mate, do you have any recommendations for a dash cam for Q6? That’s a bit cheaper? Looked into Audi and it’s a bit pricey. Do you have one on your q6? Thanks

We didn't have a sunroof on our etron 55, but have now on our Q6, and it is so nice and big.

Still can't beat my RS3 70 plate

Put one on a ramp and look at the build quality It is cheap and basically, you are paying a premium for the vw platform.

Do you have a view on whether the upcoming A6 etron would be better/worse than the Q6? Would love to see a video comparing them in future.

Thanks for the simple explanation, one of the most annoying things about new cars

Three other points I'd like to make in regards the 55 and the Q8, and this probably applies to the Q6 as well. One is the reliability of data the car gives you in range predictions. It is very accurate and with thought, I can generally improve it by 5%-10% on a lengthy trip. If I choose to, and it adapts easily and accurately as you drive. The second point is that I turned off key less entry on both cars. Too risky. And finally, IMO auto park is too slow and I always get fed up of trying to use it. Never once had a successful manoeuvre. Problem is, it often comes as part of a package with things that you actually want. I also have Intelligent Octopus, linked up to my 4 year old Pod Point it's great!

I've had a 55 launch edition and now a Q8 etron 55 Vorsprung and done almost 80,000 miles combined, in them. Loved them both. Not likely to change car for another 2 years or so. If I was changing now, I'd go for the Macan 4s, not the q6, even though I have had ten Audis. The proportions of the Q6 don't quite work for me being too narrow and tall. I think the Macan has better proportions even if it is on the same platform. Having said that, by the time I come to change, there may be a new Q8 etron based on the platform that is coming from the Porsche Cayenne EV (which, I think, will be out later this year). I think the Q6 has many improvements, some of which were are on my 55 and are on my Q8 but obviously technology has changed and charging/range is much improved but on a slightly smaller platform. On my Q8 with winter tyres and 22" rims, I currently get around 250 miles in a UK winter. Last weeks trip to London, mostly motorways, roadworks, queues etc, I got 2.7 miles per kW over 390 miles. As you say, charging either the 55 or the Q8 is no problem. I stopped once for breakfast and once for a cuppa on the way home. 25 minutes and 5 minutes, that was enough and I was home with 12%. it should have been 14% but there was a last minute detour because of an accident.

Another great vid; clear and too the point. Request for future vids: - there's disagreement on some forums about what lane keep assists come with the car (if at all). A walkthrough and experience would be welcome. - Family experience and impressions of the car; as you say that might be better served in the next ski hol. - Wouldn't mind a POV driving vid of you on country roads (where you feel the bumps), mixed in with motorway driving.

I hope you’re doing well. I recently ordered the S-Line, but I realized that I forgot to include the frunk as part of the configuration. Would it still be possible to have this added once the vehicle arrives? I understand this might depend on the production stage, but I wanted to check if any options are available. Thanks

With regard to the passenger screen is the screen there as looks like it.

What is the Matrix subscription you mention ? What does this add ? I'm guessing the hardware is built in with all models and just a software unlock to use ? Thanks for your time making the videos, they have been super helpful in helping me pick.

How do you pre heat the battery?

A video about self parking will be nice

Hi, can you do a videos on front trunk. Some don’t have it and Audi charging £215

So if octopus intelligence restricts the models of cars and charger, how does it work if you plug in your second car? Does it work or does it think it’s your Audi on charge.

This is really useful mate thank you

How much ££ was the electricity you used to charge your car for 16mins?

New update on my car. The ac charging system has completely stopped working, it shorts out the chargers and the fuse box switch in my house! Audi assistance came out to look at it, initially blamed the chargers (I have pod point and ohme) but then reassessed when the car also blew out the chargers in the call out van and a plug in 3 pin charger! It seems there is a major issue with both ports.

Thank U for a great video, Nice to know your perspective, being a pilot, certainly well qualified to give good advice about infotainment and vehicle driver assist systems. I’m Norwegian, had my Q6 Quattro S-line for 3 weeks, replacing my previous Etron 55, just like you. I'm now high up in the mountains, driving on relatively narrow road with snow, mainly without visible lines on the road surface. My question to you is how to understand the lane assist system. I just can’t figure out how to avoid the car automatically interfering with my steering, as I constantly will see a red line popping up in the HUD, showing the road margins, unfortunately in the wrong place. I’m well aware of how to deactivate the lane assist with the button on the handle to the left of the steering wheel, but after deactivation I still experience annoying steering responses, obviously intended to avoid my car driving out of the road. I finally found that deactivating another function in the settings menu called Lane warning (translated from Norwegian) seems to solve the problem, at least partially. Another issue is that in don’t fully understand how the adaptive cruice control works. In my old Etron 55 I liked how the car automatically reduced the speed prior to roundabouts etc, as U mentioned in the video. Is it in the Q6 really necessary to have the cruise control activated and set to a certain speed before this function works? (As I recall, this was not so in the old Etron 55). I would ask if you could do a separate video detailing how to operate these two systems in a more detailed manner. I think many Q6 fans would appreciate this, since several technical systems in the Q6 are new and/or adjusted compared to the Etron 55. Thanks again! Regards Arnfinn

Hi there, I’m so glad I found your channel-your reviews are fantastic! I have a question as a first-time EV owner. Do you use a home charger, and if so, which one do you have? I’ve been offered a free Ohme charger, but I’m not sure what to expect from it. Do you have any recommendations or advice? Also, could you give me an idea of how much installation might cost? Thanks so much, and I’m looking forward to more of your reviews!

I have watched many many videos on the Q6, your videos are by far the best. Thank you!

Good clear review....looking forward to hearing your further thoughts on this car....especially on how quiet it is ...or isn't...on the road.

Hi I’ve just received my Q6 etron, wondering if you managed to get the adaptive cruise to to read signs and adjust speed to suit? My old q5 used to change the speed according to signs automatically without touching anything but I can’t seem to get this car to do it!

Thank god its got a big battery!

I have an Audi e-tron 55 quattro, similar to yours, a 2020 model. While planning my first trip to Europe for December, I noticed that the navigation system isn’t prioritising Ionity chargers-it keeps using Fastned and Total Energies instead. Since I have an Ionity Passport subscription, it's more cost-effective for me to use their network. My maps are up to date, but I can't seem to figure out how to plan routes around Ionity chargers. Do you know of any way to do this? Would really appreciate your help!

Was waiting for this update 👍👍

Really great video, many thanks. I’m seriously considering a Q6 once my Q4 lease is up, so looking forward to future videos on the Q6.

Did you buy the plastic Mat you got from Audi?

Audi 👌

Cheers! If I recall in a previous video, one of your children was hoping you’d go for the Porsche. Looking forward to your periodic Q6 updates.

too much plastic

Hey. I will receive my S Line Edition One (full spec) next week. I’ve started a Facebook group. You’re happy to join (Audi Q6 e-tron Owners Group)

Hi, I have the same car. Seems ok so far except the app which is unstable, with key functions like remote climate not working. It seems there is a major software update needed at Audi, but this takes 2 days and I can’t get booked in until January

Type of videos I am looking for. Not a car review made by a car channel but a simple car walkaround by an owner. Thank You :)

Great video as always. It doesn't bode well for perception of material quality when at 1:44 the seat material already appears to be sagging.

Good choice, should be a real mile muncher and much more efficient than your etron. From memory I think the Q6 is near the top of Bjorn Nylands 1000km tests.

Really pleased you’ve gone with the Q6! It looks fantastic - great colour! Looking forward to some future videos, in particular the tech & interior.

Great video and explains much better than the Octopus website. I’m currently on economy 7 with the old teleswitch meter which might be discontinued in June 2025 so need to get a smart meter and new tariff. Like the idea of Intelligent Octopus as 6hr off peak will work for me. I just wonder if it can be set to definitely deliver the off peak rate during those hours as we set the dishwasher and washing machine for off peak, don’t want the off peak to be delayed and end up paying full rate for those items being used. It might not seem much in the overall cost but the sceptic in me thinks that Octopus will wangle the rates to suit them and not me. after all , they’re a company out to make as much profit as possible.

My guess is the replacement is a Q6 E-Tron.

Thanks for all the videos really enjoyed them. Still have my Launch Edition, although my wife has just bought an IX3 which I am really impressed with!

Hope your mother in law isn't a subscriber. :) Thanks for all your etron videos, they've been very helpful. I've been on the edge of getting an etron but leaning heavily towards an IX. Looking forward to seeing what you get next! Although the hint at the end has given me a big clue.

I've been looking to go back to Octopus, currently with E-ON, although E-ON are good with 7 hours cheap rate per night, I did prefer Octopus, but after changing my car from a Diesel to an IPace and already having my wife Fiat 500E, we ended up with a none compatible Intelligent Octopus charger and cars, resulting in only 4 hours a night cheap rate charging. So I've had an intelligent compatible charger installed and plan to move back soon, just need E-ON to sort out the billing something they keep getting wrong.
