Sophisticated monitoring technology scans the road and automatically adjusts the vehicle's dampers and ride height to smooth out any surface imperfections, such as potholes or speed bumps.

PERSONALITY

The vehicle you drive says a lot about your personality. The Audi Q6 e-tron and the Porsche Macan EV are expertly styled to reflect your sense of accomplishment and desire to stand out. Upon closer inspection, one SUV offers more ways to make your vehicle truly yours.

An SUV That Reflects Your Style

In many instances, your vehicle creates a first impression. Therefore, customization is a key aspect of choosing the right vehicle. The Audi Q6 e-tron offers five professional shades, including Plasma Blue and Manhattan Gray. These metallic shades shimmer in the sunlight, giving your SUV a sense of soft motion even when stationary.

The Macan EV goes in a different direction. It offers three times as many color options. At first, this may sound enticing, but this wide range of colors proves it’s possible to have too much of a good thing. The excess number of colors can feel overwhelming.

One area of customization where an overabundance of options is appreciated is with the optional Daytime Running Lights (DRL) of the Q6 e-tron, which offers up to eight selectable signatures that can be changed to match your mood. The Macan EV only offers one static DRL option.

No 2 Days Are the Same

Some days, you may be in the mood for a casual commute, while other days you seek a dynamic driving experience. The Audi Q6 e-tron and the Porsche Macan EV come standard with an interior lighting package that allows you to adjust the cabin’s ambiance depending on your mood. While standard on each, the Q6 e-tron offers an optional LED interior lighting plus package, which adds dynamic lighting signatures that sync with various vehicle features to create a more immersive experience.

The Q6 e-tron makes it possible to adjust how your vehicle handles, thanks to the standard Audi drive select system. This adds five different modes that adjust aspects like throttle response, steering wheel feel, and more. Included modes are:

Comfort
Balanced
Dynamic
Off-Road
Efficiency

Sadly for Porsche drivers, no similar system is offered.

INNOVATION

Luxury brands like Audi and Porsche continually strive to push the envelope. The Q6 e-tron and the Macan EV deliver with technologies that border on futuristic. With connectivity and awareness top priorities, will it be the Audi Q6 e-tron or the Porsche Macan EV that better keeps you in control?

Always in the Know

In-car technology isn’t new, but how the Audi Q6 e-tron and the Porsche Macan EV utilize it revolutionizes automotive innovation. Each SUV includes up to three fully digital displays, including an optional passenger screen to help streamline infotainment.

Another way the Q6 e-tron and the Macan EV push the digital envelope is with their available audio systems. Each includes high-powered outputs and strategically placed speakers to deliver an immersive listening experience. With at least 20 speakers in each vehicle, every note feels richer and more immersive, almost like you’re sitting in the recording studio with your favorite artists.

While comparable in many ways, the Q6 e-tron edges ahead with one exclusive feature: front-row in-headrest speakers. This addition further immerses you in a soundscape-like quality not offered by the Macan EV.

A Heightened Sense of Awareness

Advanced driver-assist systems help create a stronger sense of awareness in those hard-to-see areas around your SUV. Advanced monitoring technology alerts you to missed hazards and can assist with braking and steering when conditions are met. With either SUV, you'll have access to an augmented reality head-up display and a surround-view monitor.

While safety awareness is essential, it’s only half of what’s needed. The optional Audi connect® PLUS® subscription, offered only with the Q6 e-tron, keeps you aware of your surroundings, thanks to features like:

Real-time weather updates
Customizable news feed
Downloadable productivity tools

Audi connect® plus also includes access to Amazon Alexa, which lets you connect to smart home devices while on the road. This enables you to drop in on your family to let them know you're stuck in traffic or ensure the front lights are turned on before you arrive.
