What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
Audi Q6 e-tron
quattro
Owners love
- Owners describe the handling as sharp and agile, feeling smaller to drive than its size suggests.
- Standard equipment is generous even on the Sport, with adaptive cruise, lane keeping, keyless entry and heated seats and steering wheel.
- The deep boot and large front storage area are praised as practical.
Watch out for
- The ride on sports suspension and larger wheels, notably the Edition 1 on 21-inch wheels, is widely described as too firm for the price.
- Several owners find road and wind noise more noticeable than in the older e-tron and Q8 e-tron.
- Early cars had software faults: a digital key that needed a dealer update, missing Wi-Fi connection and infotainment errors.
Owner tips
- Test drive the exact wheel and suspension combination you are considering, as the ride varies a lot across versions.
- A Sport or S line on smaller wheels is the comfort pick according to owners.
VW ID.7
Pro Match Plus
Owners love
- Owners praise the comfort and quiet: a smooth ride (especially with DCC adaptive suspension) and a spacious, well-finished cabin with lots of rear legroom.
- Efficiency is excellent for the size: around 3.6-4.6 miles per kWh and 330-400 miles in mixed driving.
- The infotainment is much improved over earlier ID. models, with few complaints.
Watch out for
- Range drops sharply above 70 mph and in winter (about 190 miles at 75 mph in one test).
- The VW app is weak: limited journey data and awkward with more than one driver.
- UK cars lack some features offered elsewhere, such as remote parking and kick-to-open boot.
Owner tips
- Plan on 330-350 miles in real use, less on fast motorway runs and in winter.
- Smaller wheels (19 or 20 inch rather than 21) noticeably help range.

Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Audi Q6 e-tron or the VW ID.7?

These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Audi Q6 e-tron and VW ID.7 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 318 miles for the Audi Q6 e-tron and 281 miles for the VW ID.7 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Audi Q6 e-tron goes roughly 37 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Audi Q6 e-tron or the VW ID.7?
The VW ID.7 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 77 mm narrower than the Audi Q6 e-tron. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 538 mm of total clearance for the VW ID.7 and about 461 mm of total clearance for the Audi Q6 e-tron. The Audi Q6 e-tron also turns in a 0.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Audi Q6 e-tron or the VW ID.7?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Audi Q6 e-tron and 84% for the VW ID.7. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
