Luxury EVs are stealing the spotlight, and two front-runners—the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron and 2025 BMW iX—are leading the charge. Both promise upscale cabins, cutting-edge tech, and zero-emission thrills, but how do they stack up against each other in the real world? Let’s compare them where it counts—on power, efficiency, tech, and overall value. No fluff, just facts with flair.
Power Moves and Electric Punch
The Q6 e-tron cranks out 456 horsepower from a 340-kW motor paired with a 100 kWh lithium-ion battery. The iX answers with 516 horsepower via its 385-kW motor and a slightly bigger 111.5 kWh battery. Audi edges ahead with 631 lb-ft of torque, while the iX offers 564 lb-ft. Both come with all-wheel drive and a smooth one-speed automatic transmission. When it comes to pure muscle, it’s a close race—each one built to impress from the first push of the pedal.
Range, Charging, and Energy Use
The Q6 e-tron offers an NRCan-estimated range of 494 km with 19-inch wheels, and charges from 10–80% in just 21 minutes using a DC fast charger. The iX stretches its legs a little further with a 521 km battery range, though its full charge time clocks in at a much slower 114 hours using standard 120V. In terms of consumption, Audi stays ahead with a combined fuel consumption of 2.4 L/100 km, while the iX is thirstier at 2.9 L/100 km. Both are emissions-free, but the Q6 might be friendlier to your hydro bill.
Smart Features and Cabin Vibes
Inside, the Q6 e-tron welcomes drivers with an 11.9-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and standard heated leather front seats. The iX goes bigger with a 14.9-inch screen, also offering CarPlay and Android Auto, but opts for synthetic leather throughout. Audi includes memory functions for the front seats, steering wheel, and mirrors—not available on the iX. Both vehicles bring tri-zone climate control, rain-sensing wipers, and adaptive cruise control, but Audi adds more daily convenience with a hands-free remote trunk release and garage door opener.Design, Dimensions, and Practical Perks
From a practicality standpoint, the Q6 e-tron gives you 526–1,529-litre of cargo space, while the iX slightly tops out at 500–1,750-litre. The Audi tows up to 1,411 pounds, compared to 1,197 pounds for the BMW. Both are five-seaters with a luxe, elevated ride feel. While the iX comes with 21-inch alloy wheels, the Q6 balances looks and efficiency on 19-inch alloys. Audi also throws in roof rails and a refrigerated storage compartment, both absent from the BMW.Book Your EV Test Drive at Audi Queensway
