00:00Hello and welcome to the video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog Comparing the Audi Q6 e-tron Quadro with the Mercedes EQE.
00:15You can find the link to read the article in our magazine in the video description.
00:21Please note that our comparison is not a real direct comparison, but merely a virtual comparison.
00:30The vehicles in the video serve as example vehicles for visual simplification and our information is largely based on user opinions from various forums and social media.
00:41They do not reflect our own views.
00:44So let's take a look at the points that are particularly interesting according to online comments.
00:49When it comes to the design of the new Audi Q6, it is often emphasized that it offers an elegant appearance with its upright front, the slightly flatter structure and the slightly retracted rear end.
01:00The Mercedes IQ, or more precisely the IQE 504 Modic SUV, is around 9 cm longer and appears more voluminous and solid with its rounded, smooth design.
01:11However, various user opinions state that despite its bulky appearance, the EQE does not necessarily offer more space than the Q6.
01:22A highlight of the Mercedes cockpit is the gigantic hyperscreen, which extends over approximately 1.4 meters.
01:29Three screens are seamlessly integrated there.
01:32A display for the driver, a central touchscreen and another for the front passenger.
01:36The modern look and the comprehensive multimedia offering are praised by many users, as is the very well-functioning voice control.
01:47Although the Mercedes already includes numerous elegant details, some users report that additional costs are incurred for the multi-contour seats, even with the already high level of equipment.
01:57In the Audi Q6 Eaton Quattro, on the other hand, sports seats are fitted as standard, which is highlighted positively by many.
02:07According to reports, these seats offer firm padding and good lateral support.
02:12The higher backrest with better shoulder support is also praised.
02:15In terms of the sense of space, the Q6 is said to offer slightly more headroom in the front than the EQE, according to user reviews.
02:30However, the situation is different in the rear.
02:34Passengers find the IQE to be airier and more comfortable, particularly due to the better legroom.
02:39The seat is also slightly higher, which many find more comfortable.
02:45Audi also goes its own way when it comes to infotainment.
02:48The panoramic display includes an instrument cluster and a touchscreen, while a separate passenger display is available via the TechPro package.
02:57According to user comments, the system appears less open than in the Mercedes, but is tidy and logically structured.
03:04The voice control system also impresses with its reliable functionality.
03:09For the drive, Audi uses a combination of an asynchronous motor on the front axle and a permanent magnet-synchronous electric motor on the rear axle in the Q6 e-tron Quattro.
03:21According to available information, the system output is 1,000 horsepower, which allows the sprint from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in around 5.7 seconds.
03:31The top speed is limited to 210 kilometers per hour.
03:34The recuperation works powerfully, can be adjusted in three stages using paddles on the steering wheel and enables deceleration to a standstill.
03:43The Mercedes-Benz IQ 500 SUV for Modic is based on a pure electric platform with 400-volt technology and uses two permanent magnet-synchronous electric motors on the front and rear axles.
03:56Its system output is 408 horsepower, which allows it to accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in around 5 seconds.
04:06Here too, the top speed is 210 kilometers per hour.
04:09The recuperation works in a similar way to the Audi and, according to forums, one pedal operation is also possible right down to a standstill.
04:18Anyone who opts for the AMG Line Premium Plus package with rear axle steering, hyperscreen and four-zone climate control in the EQE often raves online about a particularly luxurious driving experience.
04:29However, extras such as air suspension and large 21-inch wheels incur additional costs.
04:35At around 2.7 tons, the IQ is around 200 kilograms heavier than the Q6.
04:41However, many praise the rear axle steering, which makes the SUV unexpectedly agile, as well as the soft suspension in comfort mode.
04:48The Audi, which weighs around 2.5 tons when empty, is often described as being a bit lighter on its feet, especially when it is also equipped with air suspension and large wheels.
04:58However, all-wheel steering like in the Mercedes is not available for the Q6.
05:05It is also said to have comfortable suspension, but is tuned a bit firmer with fewer body movements.
05:11The Q6A battery has a capacity of 94.9 kWh.
05:16According to forums, some users achieve a range of around 380 kilometers with it in everyday use.
05:21The IQE 500 SUV 4 Modich has a battery with 96 kWh and, according to user reports, can travel around 360 to 370 kilometers per charge.
05:33There are significant differences in price.
05:35The Mercedes EQE 500 SUV starts at €99,841.
05:40However, with the AMG Line Premium Plus Package, it can quickly rise to €125,000.
05:47The Audi Q6 e-tron Quadro starts at €74,700.
05:52And anyone looking for very good equipment should expect to pay around €92,000.
05:57According to many users, the Q6 is considered to offer a better balance between driving dynamics, comfort and price.
06:03While the IQE also has many fans with its luxurious equipment and rear axle steering.
