How it scores for you10 scores
Audi's most complete EV yet - 321-mile range, 800-volt charging, flagship-grade tech - with only first-year software polish left to prove.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; none of its 3 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Limited history so far, so this score may move as more recalls are filed. Adjusted -3 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $750 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 93% of cars we track.
30.2 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 66% of other SUVs we track.
Midsize cabin with good rear room.
Strong PPE-platform thrust - up to 509 hp in the SQ6 - with composed, if reserved, dynamics.
New-generation electronics, panoramic OLED displays, and 800-volt charging put it at Audi's tech front.
Quiet, supple, and solid - convincingly premium.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
