About two years ago, I wrote an article about the Audi Q6 SUV and its diecast car models. From the article, Audi Q6 Diecast Models at Different Scales for Collectors , you can easily learn that the Audi Q6 is the SUV exclusively produced and sold for the Chinese market.
In 2025, the Audi Q6 e-tron was launched in China. If someone asks you about the differences and connections between the Audi Q6 and Audi Q6 e-tron, can you give the correct answer? Is the Audi Q6 e-tron simply the electric version of the Audi Q6? If you want to figure out these questions, this article will give you a straightforward introduction.
First of all, it must be clarified that the Audi Q6 e-tron is not the electric version of the Audi Q6. The Audi Q6 is a 6-seater and 7-seater SUV built on the MQB platform exclusively developed by SAIC-Audi for the Chinese market. In contrast, the Audi Q6 e-tron is a global five-seater model based on the PPE platform developed by Audi Germany, which is produced and sold by FAW-Audi in China.
Apart from these obvious differences such as exterior, they also have essential distinctions in platform hierarchy. In the fuel vehicle era, Audi mainly adopted the MQB and MLB platforms. As it stepped into electrification, Audi primarily develops vehicles based on the MEB and PPE platforms. The Audi Q6 is built on the MQB platform while the Q6 e-tron uses the PPE platform. Despite their similar dimensions, they are manufactured in different platforms.
Not long ago, the 1/18 scale diecast Audi Q6L e-tron model was officially released. Whether you are a diecast collector or an owner of the real Audi Q6L e-tron, this model is an excellent choice for you. It is available in your favorite purple and dark green colors. As a 1/18 scale replica model, it features numerous movable parts just like the real vehicle.
