#Audi #audiq6
Why is the VW group still so obsessed with glossy black plastics? Most automakers cut back or stopped using it years ago, but VW continues to use it profusely even in its high-end cars. Seriously, it's a bad when the interior of a Peugeot e-3008/5008 feels nicer and more expensive than this...
I am not defending VW, but have u seen the interiors of the Mercedes?
Fr
Hmm...cannot see, why soft plastic is no plastic...everything in a modern car is plastic, whether soft or hard.
This soft BS...just adds more energy in production. Have you ever seen and felt the heat in such a production?...adding a foam layer and a slush skin to the part?
This is a nightmare of wasting material and energy. It adds about 15kg to a car...ok, this is already a heavy beast, but would make it even more fat.
Everything you touch during drive must be soft...and this is all soft.
Why are so worried about it, you’re broke, you’re not buying any of these cars, so what’s your problem?
@@josefv8708 You seem to have some comprehension issues huh? Key word is "glossy black plastic", no one is talking about soft plastic vs hard plastic... the gloss black bs is what most people hate as it looks extremely cheap (think about a 20K-30K MG4 or any cheap Chinese car) and it collects fingerprints/scratches like crazy and looks terrible very quickly. Not quite sure what you're yapping about to be honest...
Looks like every new EV contains mainly two things, batteries and a lot of plastics
$130,000 for THAT?!?! Ha.. this will FAIL.
More touch screens and zero physical buttons 🤢
for frickin 100k or more. And then some marketing bot will suggest to "try leasing"... Where are the days we got to buy a car and own it... Chinese cars will be more and more popular soon with this aproach and then they'll blaim Chinese...
@@JohnyMcNeal Good points.. I feel like Germany is more about radical lefty ideology and NOT passion.
@@JohnyMcNealIf they become more popular (which they will) governments probably would step in and change the tax rates for those Chinese cars to stop people from buying them.

That interior is a complete trainwreck! Audi's reputation for oustanding interiors has just taken a huge hit. Definitely scratching the Q6 off the list.
yes, latest generation of Audi interiors are all so disappointing to me, both design-wise and in materials. So much glossy black plastic...even on their flagships.
the crease on the rear quarter is very extreme, not sure I like it. Doesn’t matter anyway, 80-90k for a decent AWD spec is just crazy money for a mid-sized SUV
It's going to come down in price I bet. They started off high so they can make it look "appealing" with deals.
yeah I'm not liking the edgy Audis either. It pains to me that the Porsche Macan, despite being more expensive, is the one I'd prefer simply for not being edgy,
@@UhOhUmm I expect this selling for 40% or less of it's original price within 3 years. That has been the case for similar VAG EVs.
@@Henry_Jr_Watsson quicker than that, e-trons lose over 40% in value in about 6 months. Look up some offers on AutoTrader or AutoScout
Plastic interiors for this price??? Why do consumers tolerate this???
Hmm...cannot see, why soft plastic is no plastic...everything in a modern car is plastic, whether soft or hard.
This soft BS...just adds more energy in production. Have you ever seen and felt the heat in such a production?...adding a foam layer and a slush skin to the part?

I enjoyed watching the video, more sporty and stylish than the Q4 😊
cheers my friend!
Bro is the audi fun to drive as a ford puma 😶

Obviusly
he might be on to something there!
@@autogefuehl Are you vegan?
This glossy cheap plastic is ruining the interior. Omg 😳
the visual clearance of dashboard view is like this:
Designer: so how much of everything you want!?
Audi: Yes!
Was that the CEO of audi hollering in the background?
The "Leah-meter" was in full swing today, Thomas...!
Great review, fella 😎
thanks my friend !
Love your videos, but very disappointed you only spent one minute on the infotainment. It’s brand new software that has significant impact on how you interact with the vehicle
I see a trend among the premium German car manufacturers, especially Audi and BMW, and increasingly other brands with their 2024 releases. There are a lot of cost-cutting measures in the interiors mainly. Cheap plastics, no ambient lighting in the back, cup holders without covers anymore, and so on. Apparently, we have to deal with it - paying much more but getting less of a premium feel. Hmm...
Hmm...cannot see, why soft plastic is no plastic...everything in a modern car is plastic, whether soft or hard.

It s still a more Premium car than a tesla.......
@@jonpetter8921 it is, but the gap is getting smaller than before.
@@lw2537 The gap is getting smaller the other way as well.
Every new e tron comes with a rooster. It’s called the farmers package.
Love the T-shirt, but prefer the Macan EV to the Audi
Audi R.I.P.
Man this is so tough. With the Q6/SQ6 you get all the tech/range/charging advancements but with the current Q8/SQ8 you get more of the luxury feel and interior overall. I don't expect the Q6/SQ6 to be that much cheaper than the Q8/SQ8 (atleast in Canada) soyou basically have to choose between update tech or more luxurious quality.
Agreed. I have an earlier e-tron and noticed what felt like backward on downward steps in quality/luxury compared and also interior space. It does feel like it isn't possibly the no brainer replacement that some have been suggesting it would be vs the older q8/e-tron. It may be a case of if you can live with the lower range the older q8/e-tron is a better bet.
Nice review thanks ! There's so much Piano Black it hurts my soul, absolutely disgusting.
I love it, but you can order without!
@@erdbeerfeldheld007 what would be the other options . wood? Or paying 3000 EUR extra for plastic "carbon fibre"? :(
Finally new Audi that look actually fresh and new, suited for 2024
Just going to bed as your video dropped, but I had to watch it! \
Interesting to learn about the comparison between this and the Mecan. Great video.
Too much glossy interior plastics. A scratch and finger prints magnet, and look cheap. Too many cars are doing this. Lazy, cost cutting and so uninovative. Great video as always.
The dashboard was vibrating. For the price that should not happen. It also appears too cluttered.The hatch for the cables should be manual .
Thank you Thomas for the review - enjoyable as always. Another Audi to scratch off the list of what not to buy.
A smooth and relaxing ride ruined by constant bonging and chimes every time you do something the EU commission thinks you shouldn't be doing.
I wonder, is the extra performance of the SQ6 actually worth it? Would you actually be able to use it unless you travelled on beautiful roads like that every day?
And would you say this 'feels' like an SUV? It is taller than the Macan, but I guess the seats are the still the same distance from the road as it's on the same platform.
You need to hire the chicken as a new presenter!
i ll sign him up to the - wait for it - roster.
Hi Thomas, at 24:51 (chapter Driving fun) with the sun on the cockpit screen, one can see a rectangular black box. It looks rather cheap... Do you remember while driving that it was also very obviously visible?
That expensive and no carpet in door pockets..I feel like Audi is giving worse and worse value for what you pay. Also the interior in general seems to have peaked with the previous A6/Q8 (non Etron) with displays integrated nicely instead of just slapping in huge screens sitting on top of the dash.
4th comment ! Great quality and Thomas always looking great and full indepth review on point!
appreciated!
Yeah, where did the aft legroom go? Also, not sure what's with the step with the rear seats down.
Of course the micro fibre in the doors is cheaper, it doesn't have to meet the saem wear spec, and hard plastic where the kids are going to kick it is also fine ( in the UK these will mostly be used for school run.... usually driven in the middle of the road )
How does new virtual cockpit with full map display look like ?
Passenger screen is helpfull actually even safer, particularly where the centre screen is tilted towards the driver and hard to see for the passenger, but why not just make the centre screen neutral or even tiltable? Consider if you have a passenger/co driver it's much safer for the passenger to make adjustments which is so much more distracting for the driver than a hard switch. ( Cynic in me says driver oriented screen is designed to upsell the customer the passenger screen....)
Bring back smaller screens and analog displays
Great review, Thomas, thank you! I was so looking forward to this car, and now I'm left disappointed. You are actually the only reviewer who mentioned the tight backseat legroom space, which I appreciate!
I predict this will be a flop. Similarly to Polestar 3 and 4, it took Audi way too long to bring it into production - deliveries will begin when, like end of the year?! There is loads and loads of good competitors for about half the price or less.. Moreover, looking at how other e-trons have been doing in terms of residual value after even less than a year, I gotta say you will have to be crazy to buy one new. Give it half a year and there will be second-hand Q6s with at least 42% off. Really, really annoys me! It is a testament to the fact that European car industry is going to s.ite.
Thanks m8! I do agree
It's almost like the one feature that Audi could do besides design and quality, the engine is no longer there. There's no reason ever to pick this over a Xpeng G9 for half the price, bigger, equal quality, same numb feeling.
Audi driver here, but for the same reasons for the other EV offers I really don't care for this vehicle - there's zero passion about it, from cheap interior to and drivetrain nobody wants.
Great review and details thanks, nice car! Maybe second hand in 3 years time :) Did you say it has a 0 regen coasting mode? if so, sold!
Cheers! Coasting is free run yes
The glossy black plastic is a deal breaker
I Like it, but you can order it without
@@erdbeerfeldheld007 But it comes automatically with the higher interior fittings. 👎
@@jline3701 but not in Germany!
@@erdbeerfeldheld007 Sure, it comes with some interior fittings, for example with the beige seats.
Since model y juniper is going to be very similar to model 3 highland how does m3h compare to this?
The difference for the Macan is that you get Taycan level performance in acceleration and top speed.
14:16 Enough headroom for a Sportback version 😇
I wish they also made petrol and plugin version of it.. just the size of the car I am looking for..
There is something called Q5...same size. Even numbers at Audi are EVs...uneven are Electric...but size can be similar or identical. This is why the new A4 ICE Car will be named A5...since the 4 will be added to a future EV.
Why should they ruin a distinct EV Platform with an ICE? The result can be seen at BMW...smaller cabin space.
BUT...they will also bring the "neue Klasse" in 2025 as pure EV, too.
@@josefv8708 Yeah, but Q5 hasn't been refreshed for a long time, and a plugin option is too expensive for what you get for it.. they have q8 in all engines, if they had this designed q6 in all engines it would sell like crazy..
@@josefv8708 Q5 can be had for a good price these days, but it's such an old exterior design...
Exterior looks good but damn, interior is bad, audi had very good classic design with screens and digital instruments now it looks cheap. Kia is more premium inside now
nothing to do with the billionary diesel fines.... 🤔
kia looks much cheaper than Audi!
@@PaulTC777war nzr ein Vorwand einen deutschen Konzern zu vernichten. Alle anderen haben ähnlich oder genauso betrogen.
Sollte doch erweile bekannt sein.
Die anderen waren auch bei Messungen zum Teil deutlich schmutziger!
Correct. And this is probably one of the better examples of the model range. Audi's plastics on the base models are very cheap, and the press cars that get reviewed usually have expensive optional trims included.
hmm, my wife is interior engineer (developed for all german OEMs), and we test drove several Kias, Hyundais...she simply commented...when she would suggest the seen solutions for the interior, she would be killed by Audi. The interior is unbelievable bad at KIA!!!
Great review, thanks. Getting the SQ6, no doubt.
Is this in the US? I see a glimmer of hope in Audi’s interior for first time in long time (of it looking like a butcher slab).
if i had the money i would upgrade my Q4 e50 to this. Only thing i dislike is the extra screen and gloss black like i have in my Q4 :)
Will the new Q5 be based on this platform
How would you rate it vs a BMW IX?
How can they manage to make the passenger seats so tight for a relatively large vehicle?
What the hell Audi, the master of interiors what have you done...
That display bezel for gauge cluster, are you kidding audi?
I'm shocked how ugly it has become. What about the head light buttons are added on the door in a big plastic panel. EVs are not only too expensive, but plastic and ugly and Audi has joined the club.
Thanks again for the detail.
What is encouraging is that Audi’s engineering excellence is shining through again. Less encouraging is the software is still not quite right even though the displays look very snazzy. In fact why do you need so much display space at all? The prices are absurd, and it is worth thinking quite hard about car price inflation since - say - 2017 when I last bought an Audi RS3 at around £43k new. It is not a comparable model, but even quite recently I could get a great ICE drive for under £45k. At some point price resistance is going to kick in. The VW part of the Audi/VW brand still has quite a lot left to do on price and performance to go up against BMW’s Mini and Mercedes’ Smart.
What a nice T-shirts
Orders yours 😎🙏
audi interiors have really gone downhill ever since volkswagen bought porsche. same way that vw interiors are always made to be inferior to audi, audi interiors are always made to be inferior to porsche now
So nobody got confused by the rear light design looks like Mercedes
At (or with ❤) 198 / 6’6”, four of me can fit comfortably in a Q4. This is a larger, newer car but has less room. Bizarre!
Thank u 3000 Lea meter ❤
Looks like a big step down in quality when compared with the Q8 etron. Hard plastics everywhere and infotainment looks outdated. The biggest issue of all however is the rear leg room. The Polestar 4 and others have so much more leg room. This was going to be my next car, however this review is making me reconsider. Is the leg room in the q8 better?
Legroom is really good in the q8 etron
Actually looks way better than the Q8. That one’s past its bedtime. And the SQ6 even beats the SQ8.
this car is more compact... and its not a Chinese.
I would never buy a Chinese car like polestar
Proportions seem off, and it looks far too similar to the Q4.
Legacy manufacturers not understanding that it’s all about the UI nowadays.
Will the smaller 80 kWh battery be LFP? 🤔
I dont think so
Looks like they learned nothing from the Golf8 #capacitiveBS debacle
which debacle?
Golf is the best car in its class!
@@erdbeerfeldheld007 In which world? The operating system is horribly bad - uncomfortable and unsporty.
@@cricho15 your opinion is rather exklusive!
Got way to excited when he said "Leah about to show us some exterior features"
2:43 definitely not. And in overall, if you have some electric doors - it's better to place somewhere separate button for it, so it will be more intuitive and user friendly.
There is a “button” to open the charging flaps on the internal screen so you can do it before getting out of the car.
what's the mile range?
all in the review
Remember when we used to laugh at Chinese brands interiors 5 years ago? How the tables have turned.
It's a good car that's now on my shortlist....just a shame the rear seats lack rearwards adjustment to provide more knee room when needed.....see what I did there...!!...🤣
Seriously, this interior seems no better than a VW ID.7
The only good thing about Audi now is the lights….other manufacturers have overtaken Audi in the quality stakes
Yes rear seat very disappointed as EV please amend 😵💫
That plastic front grille is an eye sore and then there is the interior.... Audi had been the best designed cars since the late 90s IMO but not anymore. They have seriously lost the plot.
What is like to drive ?
Oh dear god, those chargeports are super overkill. This needs to stop with future models. Otherwise, the S version is a lot better looking with Daytona Gray. Nardo Gray would look even better
BMW, Porsche and Mercedes especially have all done the screen heavy interior better. This looks tacky and overcomplicated in design.
Boxy design Lay down all of the expectations for a attractive Q6
Busy design language from the 00s/10s, with cheap materials throughout the interior. Especially looking at the center console and door pockets, just hard plastic. Crazy price for this product. Something only for the brand loyalists.
Ohnn no, why the ugly screen . What happened with integrates ones. Uglier even than competition.
Dear Thomas, awesome review as always. To answer your question regarding most European brands not offering a frunk - I believe it's due to safety reasons. Car makers have no control over what is stored in the frunk, therefore it's near impossible to predict how the contents of it would behave in case of a frontal collision. This is why if they offer a frunk it's considerably smaller than for instance American ones - to force you to use it only to store charging cables at most, so if you get into a severe crash - the contents of the frunk won't alter the structural integrity of the car and won't have a negative impact on the efficiency of force absorbing elements of the chassis. Luckily, safety is held in high regard in Europe and even among European brands there are different choices being made. Take a look at Audi Q7 vs Volvo XC90 - the former has 3 isofix points across the 2nd row of seats, but Volvo only put two isofixes on the outboard seats of the 2nd row. Why? According to Volvo - even though theoretically the middle seat should be the safest for a child, if you happen to have three childseats installed at the same time - in case of a side impact crash the child seat installed in the middle is at risk of being crushed by the two other child seats installed on the outboard seats.
Polestar 4 when?
6:44 Why and I getting Hyundai vibes here..
I'd prefer if the presenter wore a shirt for such a nice car. The merch is lacking in style, sorry.
What about in the other worlds??
Price is overrated
The cadillac lyriq is a far superior ev suv to this.
There is no hospice for old cows. Cruelty is a separate issue. There is no reason not to use animal hides, it is a tribute to the animal to elevate it by using it. This is my opinion, and while I disagree with your opinion, I respect it, and really like your channel.
Thomas was good enough to respond to some comments of mine a while ago. While I don't share (what I assume to be) his views on the ethics of farming animals, he made some strong points about the environmental impact of it.
I once asked a great Kabbalist about eating animals, and he said “all life is based on eating the dead, including animals, plants and vegetables etc.” I am not an expert on the effects of farming and the environment, and I would be surprised to learn that Thomas is either. I respect anyone’s right to their opinion, but I watch his reviews solely for the review of cars, not opinions on the materials the manufacturers choose to use. Thanks for the response Sir Bufton!
Basic trim looks crap, if you spec it up a little bit it gets almost same price as a Macan if not more expensive. Problem is that Macan looks dope even in its basic trim. Whos is actually buying this Audi?
I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday
Audi😍🚀
Even the rooster in the background is punching the air at those stupid, motorized charge port doors.
Knowing reliability of audi engines I'm wondering if this car will pass 20 000 km before it brakes down
I have a 2022 etron 55. Bought it with 20k km. By that time I put 60k into it. Had 0 issue with the car, everything works well, robust, well performing, using it for 1000km travels also, nice charging curve constant 140kw/h till 80%. I cant finish my restroom+ meal while charging it finishes so quickly. 0 battery degradation. I wouldn't worry about the quality for this one as well.
I have a 2019 Q5 diesel and the engine is fine, no issues at all, after 5 years. I’ve had 5 Audi’s (four A6 and one Q5) over the last 24 years and haven’t had any engine problems with any of them. The one Mercedes E Class however had lots of engine issues.
So at the end we can say : in general it’s bearly ( not barely ) good 😂😂😂😉😉
haha =)
In China max 40.000 Eura
Electric charging flap so you have one more thing to worry about.
Twice the price of my Model Y Performance... >_>
What is even the point with these EV performance models and their insane prices? We used to get the craziest sounding, exclusive engines, and now you get the exact same battery and electric motor except the horsepower setting is dialed up somewhere in the software. So sad. I've never seen an Audi without felt lining in the door pockets either. Skoda Enyaq genuinely looks just as nice as this inside. People hate on the EQEs but theyre leagues ahead of Audi EVs in terms of interior
My 2019 Audi Q5 doesn’t have felt lining in the door pockets. I prefer this as I just put a microfibre cloth in there which is easy to take out and wash, when sweets etc melt or the granddaughter leaves something similar in there.
The overall materials and quality looks the same or lower than on my 2017 A4 Avant... U ok Audi?? JK
Electric charging flap will need to be serviced, more money for Audi. The rooster agrees.
Cant wait to hear how much will the price of.the car be in year or.two old 🤣 aaa the car prices new one's are just 😮
Audi=Sophistication 🇩🇪
