Ownership and value
EV Care (opens in a new tab) says a well-maintained Q6 e-tron with documented service history holds value about as well as any EV in this band, and that the cons are real but mostly knowable, while the pros compound the longer you own the car. MeraEV (opens in a new tab) says it is not trying to be a long-distance champion, but for daily use it does exactly what most buyers need, reliably, efficiently and without stretching the budget, and advises choosing the battery and variant around your real weekly routine and confirming charging access before purchase.
How it compares
Drive Sense (opens in a new tab) says a BMW iX xDrive50 sits higher on raw output depending on model year specification, while Tesla's quickest Model Y variants deliver sharp acceleration but with a different kind of refinement and cabin isolation than most German luxury brands, and that the SQ6 exists for buyers who want sharper responses without leaving the Audi ecosystem for something like the Porsche Macan Electric. See the 2025 page for specifications.
