The great news regarding the latest sightings that have occurred is that the exterior design of the new Q6 e-tron has begun its particular uncovering. Despite all the camouflage that continues to cover most of the vehicle, there are several components that we must pay special attention to. And it is neither more nor less than the front and rear light clusters.
In the specific case of the headlights, divided optical groups can be seen (if the camouflage is not deceiving) in which the upper part has a sharp and slightly enveloping shape. LED technology is the protagonist. And regarding the rear lights, there is a breakthrough. These hunted prototypes already have the definitive pilots that will mount the production units that will arrive at the dealers.
The exterior will present a modern as well as elegant image, as we anticipate in this recreation of the new Q6 e-tron. A model that, let us remember, will be positioned halfway between the current Audi Q5 and Audi Q7. Although its exterior dimensions will be closer to those of the Q5, the space available in the passenger compartment will be typical of a higher segment approaching the designated Q7.
