Audi has been shaping its stance in the automobile industry lately. In India, especially with regard to ICE cars, Audi has been facing stiff competition. However, with the emergence of EVs, Audi has been taking all the right steps to lure enthusiasts as well as prospective customers. Team TopGear also did a proper test run from Mumbai to Banglore in the Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron last year - and the stats came out pretty satisfactory. Well, Q8 e-trons' were built on a VW MLB Evo platform. Today, Audi has unveiled a particular product, Q6 e-tron, which is built on a new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture. PPE has been co-developed by Audi and Porsche and will be reserved for premium and larger electric vehicles. For smaller and more mass-market offerings, VW has a MEB platform.
The Audi Q6 e-tron boasts an active digital light signature that dynamically interacts with twelve segments at the front, constantly dimming up and down and more. It also debuts all digital OLED tail light running across the width of the car. By utilizing an innovative mechanism, each light segment works in tandem with others to ensure that the overall light intensity of the signature remains constant, resulting in a seamless and dynamic visual experience. It has a total of up to eight signatures in the redesigned daytime running lights of the Matrix LED headlights and the OLED rear lights, which can be customized according to preferences. In terms of design language, it has boosts sharp cuts and creases, and especially in the 3rd rear quarter of the design - it looks quite muscular.
