AUDI Q9 ELECTRIC: The Q6’s Formidable Big Brother
The Audi Q9 e-tron is a flagship 7-seater featuring 800-volt ultra-fast charging, a 600km+ range, and a sustainable yet ultra-premium “Digital Stage” cabin. Its standout feature is the PPE platform, which ensures it stays technologically relevant for years.
1. Body Style & Size
The Q9 e-tron is a “Full-Size” luxury SUV. It measures approximately 5.2 meters in length and 2 meters in width. This puts it firmly in the largest passenger vehicle segment, designed specifically to offer three rows of genuine adult-sized seating.

2. Platform & Performance
Built on the 800V PPE (Premium Platform Electric) architecture, it uses a 100kWh+ Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) battery. It targets a range of 600km+ (WLTP) with high efficiency due to advanced silicon carbide inverters. Expect a 0–100km/h time of roughly 4.5 seconds in dual-motor guise.
