Audi Working On Q6 - The BMW X6 Rival

[AMG]

With the BMW X6 proving to be a resounding sales success, Audi is reportedly developing a Q6 crossover.

Details are limited, but Audi CEO Rupert Stadler told the German press "We can imagine a model between the Q5 and the Q7 . . . a coupe-like, four-wheel-driven model." If approved, the crossover would feature sporty styling and ride on the same platform that underpins the Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne.

Engine options would likely carryover from the Q7, but rumors suggest the model could also receive a hybrid powertrain as well as the turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 from the upcoming Audi S6.

No word on when the Q6 would be launched, but it would likely debut after the redesigned Q7 is introduced in 2012 or 2013.

When compared to the BMW X6, the styling is too bland and typical Audi.I personally prefer BMW cars over Audi when it comes to exteriors(even when it comes to overall package).

Audi Developing Q6 To Compete Against the BMW X6

It seems Audi is busy developing a coupe SUV hybrid "Thing" like the BMW X6 it appears to be a strict 5 seater and would be positioned between the Q5 and Q7. I hope the car is sucessful but strictly talking in terms of design the back is fine WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FRONT!!

Also knowing Audi they usually put their concept designs mostly into production specs.

Audi's Q6 To Debut in 2015

Audi Q6 Concept Coming To 2015 at the Frankfurt Auto show. The Q6 will compete with other coupe-like crossovers such as the BMW X4/X6 and new Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, and in e-tron electric guise will rival the upcoming Model X from Tesla Motors.



Audi have confirmed that the electric version will have a range of at least 310 miles.

Audi recently confirmed it will launch an electric crossover in 2018. The vehicle won’t be a dedicated electric car but a variant of a new crossover with coupe-like styling to be called the Q6. While the electric Q6, likely to be called a Q6 e-tron, won’t arrive until 2018, regular gasoline- and diesel-powered variants may arrive much sooner.

The concept will feature some advanced aerodynamic elements. The source also said the concept will feature an electric powertrain and that Audi is investigating other options for the eventual production version including a likely plug-in hybrid option as well as a less certain hydrogen fuel cell option.
