"As a result, it finds itself directly in the crosshairs of the more established, and recently revised 2026 BMW iX xDrive60 - the very same vehicle I drove on an extended EV road trip just last month. Like the SQ6, the xDrive60 punches above the 500 horsepower mark and offers a spacious two-row cabin to go with its promise of gas free motoring."
"That the Audi SQ6 e-tron features all-wheel drive is a given due to the brand's quattro-focused heritage. The second requirement sees the SUV squeaking by on something of a technicality, as its 509 horsepower are only accessible when the vehicle's drivetrain is operating in "boost" mode, typically when the launch control system is activated and you're rocketing like a 5,000-pound missile towards an inevitable panic braking situation."
Audi's 2025 lineup replaces the Q8 e-tron with the all-new Q6 e-tron and SQ6 e-tron as the brand's most capacious electric SUVs, positioned above the gas-powered Q5 in size and price. The SQ6 is the performance-oriented variant, tuned for straight-line acceleration and added cornering grip while remaining family-friendly. The SQ6 and the revised 2026 BMW iX xDrive60 both exceed 500 horsepower and offer spacious two-row cabins, creating direct competition. Buyers must weigh performance, driving character, and price when choosing between the SQ6 and the iX xDrive60. Modern luxury SUV performance expectations now typically require dual motors and 500+ horsepower.
