The Audi Q6 e-tron was tested by Euro NCAP in 2024, and it scored a maximum five-star rating. Its Child Occupant score of 92 per cent is the highest of any car tested that year, making it a reassuring choice for families. 

Audi doesn’t fare as well when it comes to customer satisfaction, however, with the brand’s premium image very much at odds with it finishing a poor 27th out of 32 brands in our latest Driver Power Survey.

Key standard safety featuresEuro NCAP safety ratings
  • Cross traffic and swerve assist
  • Lane-change assistant
  • Lane-departure warning
  • Parking system plus
  • Adaptive cruise control

 

  • Euro NCAP safety rating - Five stars (2024)
  • Adult occupant protection - 91%
  • Child occupant protection - 92%
  • Vulnerable road user protection - 81%
  • Safety assist - 80%

Warranty

The Q6 e-tron comes with a three-year/60,000-mile warranty as standard, which is par for the course at this price point, but lags behind some less expensive rivals. Audi does offer extended warranties that offer extra time or distance coverage, but are pricey upgrades. The Q6 also comes with a three-year roadside assistance package as standard.

As with most electric cars, the Q6 e-tron has a separate eight-year/100,000-mile warranty that guarantees the drive battery maintains above 75 per cent of its capacity over that period. If it drops below this figure, it’ll be replaced at Audi’s expense.

Servicing

The Q6 e-tron’s service intervals stand at 19,000 miles or every two years, which means that just one trip to the garage is required in the first three years of a typical ownership period. The company also offers a choice of service plans that cover either one or two services, so a maximum of four years.
