@Biglittlebean was told that it is on the same platform as the Audi Q4 e tron, but price is at least 50-70k cheaper. Unless of course u prefer the 4 rings badge

Audi E-Tron SQ6 looks awesome, interior design with sport padded seats, Sport steering wheel and remarkable tyre/rims, eye focused infotainment dashboard, exterior Black with linear off white interior are superior contrast. Most handsome but not that kind of price.

The new Audi Q6 e-tron (not to be confused with the larger 7 seater version for Chinese market) marks the start of a new generation of electrically powered vehicles at Audi. With a new platform, electronics architecture, charging and battery technology, as well as a pioneering design for Audi, the Q6 e-tron paves the way to Audi's all-electric future. It is the first production model based on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE). This makes the all-electric SUV with its new E3 1.2 electronic architecture the new reference for Vorsprung durch Technik. With the Q6 e-tron series, e-mobility is coming from the Ingolstadt plant for the first time. The Q6 e-tron will compete directly with BMW upcoming iX3, which is built on a dedicated platform for Vision Neue Klasse X. Audi Q6 e-tron Quattro S Line Audi SQ6 e-tron

Haha 😂 on the new Audi Q6 e-tron they do have this “Pay on demand feature” want matrix-LED theres the option to pay a subscription to use that function. Not sure if it will happen in SG. 😵‍💫

Hi folks! I have not seen related discussion before hence starting one. All EV drivers, please share your experiences and recommendations for tyres? I know most EVs are new in Singapore. Tesla, BYD, BMW I series, Mercedes EQ series, Audi e-tron series etc. EV cars are much heavier than ICE, tyres I guess have to use EV specific ones to achieve good comfort, performance and most importantly thread wear. I am currently driving BMW iX3, stock came with Yokohama, hence I am looking around. Explored tyrereviews and understand that Michelin , Bridgestone, Goodyear are the top 3 tyres, are they also good for EVs? Correct me if I am wrong. Hope to hear from you all! TIA

A serious Taycan competitor is on the way but... ... official production has yet to be confirmed. Polestar 5 Touted as a GT, the five-door electric liftback won't have a rear window but that shouldn't be much of an issue given how advanced rearview cameras are nowadays. Nevertheless, some people might be put off by the absence of rear glass (just like me). It has a rakish, coupe-like roofline and a more practical tailgate compared to the Taycan and its sister model, the Audi E-Tron GT, which both have a trunk lid. Compared to the concept, it has lost the ultra-slim side cameras and suicide doors while gaining a B-pillar and smaller wheels. To be manufactured in China, this not-a-Volvo EV is slated to benefit from StoreDot's "extreme fast charging" (XFC) technology. It promises to juice up the battery enough for 100 miles (160 kilometers) of range in only five minutes without inflicting battery degradation. Prototypes will be tested with the new tech in 2024 but it remains to be seen whether it'll be available for production vehicles from day one. Polestar 6 The Polestar 6 isn’t going into production until 2026 but that doesn’t mean the automaker doesn't have exciting plans for its electric roadster. Initially, Polestar announced that it would build just 500 examples of the open-top grand tourer but it seems that it has decided to change its strategy – production will be now based on demand. And we already know the demand for the 6 is strong. Within a week after the car’s August 16 production announcement, all 500 build slots received a reservation. Reserved build slots aren’t exactly sales, but they indicate a strong interest in the production version of the electric roadster. The company’s CEO Thomas Ingenlath confirmed in a recent interview with Autocar that Polestar “would not stop at 500 if people want it.” In August this year, shortly after the debut of the Polestar 6, Ingenlath said that the first examples of the electric grand tourer will be delivered to the initial 500 reservation holders. This process will begin at some point in 2026 and once the cars are handed to their new owners, the automaker will move to regular production based on demand. Polestar’s CEO described the 6 as an electric roadster “that appeals to even the most die-hard petrolheads” and said there’s already “high interest from our customers.” At least on paper, the Polestar 6 is impressive. The roadster with a folding hardtop roof is based on the same 800-volt EV architecture that also underpins the Polestar 5. It is powered by a dual-motor powertrain, good for 884 horsepower (650 kilowatts) and 900 Newton-meters of torque. This is enough power for a 0 - 100 kilometers per hour acceleration in just 3.2 seconds. The top speed is electronically governed at 250 kph.

Good choice. i4 is a nice car. Never considered Audi e-tron GT? Jin sexy leh

I would prefer a real windscreen over a camera too. I remember Audi (one of the e-tron?) that didn't have real wing mirror, just side cameras. My experience with my reverse camera is when it rains and water starts to block the camera lens, cannot see properly already. So just imagine your rearview/wing "mirror" gets blocked by water... they should at design some kind of rain hood to cover the cameras...

Could hdb multi-storey car park collapse ? Anybody thinking about this ? Car parks could collapse under the weight of electric cars Multi-storey car parks across the country could be at risk of collapse as heavier electric vehicles put pressure on ageing infrastructure, experts have warned. Car parking experts and engineers have told The Telegraph that the growth of EV use in the UK could put pressure on car park floors, with unloved structures most susceptible to buckling. So worried are some about the ability of car parks to hold new vehicles that new guidance is being developed that will raise the weight levels for what car park floors should be able to hold. Chris Whapples, a structural engineer and car park consultant and the author of the new guidance, told The Telegraph: “I don’t want to be too alarmist, but there definitely is the potential for some of the early car parks in poor condition to collapse.” “Operators need to be aware of electric vehicle weights, and get their car parks assessed from a strength point of view, and decide if they need to limit weight.” New electric vehicles are much heavier than the average petrol or diesel car. EV batteries account for much of this, usually weighing around 500kg. EVs are much heavier than cars manufactured in the 1960s and 1970s, when many car parks were built. For example, the current Tesla Model 3 weighs 1,672kgs, compared to the 768kg Ford Cortina Mark 1. The Audi E-tron weighs 2,351kg, compared to the 770kg Vauxhall Viva, while even the Nissan Leaf weighs 1,580kg.

Source: https://hypebeast.com/2023/4/toyota-prius-prime-xse-2023-early-look Toyota has just revealed its latest Prius Prime model for 2023 and, with its clear restyling and hybrid performance improvements from the previous generation, it could be the new choice for the discerning car consumer in a “sea of electricity.” The all-new Prius – which was announced earlier this year – arrived with fanfare around its substantially new design, and the Prime maximizes itself in the looks department. To summarize, the Prius Prime is sleek, with a radically raked front windshield that’s more “sports coupe” than “efficient city car.” A sloping rear roof that drops off suddenly at the hatch lip gives an almost boxy-yet-futuristic angle to the rear, while a flat rear bumper complements the front’s near-90º angled fascia. Speaking of the rear, the Prime is actually wider than the previous generation, which is a bold move from Toyota since a wider stance would actually harm efficiency. More on that and these decisions later. The Prime XSE Premium is also equipped with 19” machine-finished wheels that sit two inches lower than the previous generation. This stance and the large wheels give the appearance of aggression and again goes against the grain of efficiency, yet works well with the Prius Prime’s appeal. Sharp angular LED headlights, a low and pronounced front air dam, rear LED light bar and rear door handles at the C-pillar are other visual choices that make the new Prius Prime stand out. Inside, the cabin feels more refined and evolutionary, with driver-passenger enhancements to touch points and visuals being the main takeaway. Dashes of red – at the dashboard, shifter and even on the seats – adorned our test car’s interior that gave the rather-boring black upholstery a much needed pop. We also liked the dual digital screens, acting as the gauge cluster and infotainment center. Bonus points for all the climate controls being accessible through knobs and buttons rather than within menus, and for the volume knob too although it was a bit far for the driver to reach. The most surprising element within the cabin was the steering wheel, which felt small in hand, giving the impression that whoever designed it had handling and dare-we-say “sportiness” in mind. Performance-wise, the Prius isn’t a sports car, but has shown improvement over the last gen. Inside are two motors: a 2.0L gas-powered engine good for 150 horsepower, and a 161 hp electric motor working in conjunction. The net total of both comes to 220 hp and 139 lb-ft of torque that allows the Prius Prime to accelerate from 0-60 in 6.6 seconds – the previous Prius was up in the sevens. While not sports car territory, acceleration in six seconds is competitive against the Audi A3 e-tron Sportback at 6.5s, the BMW i3 at 6.6s and even the turbo-four cylinder Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 at 6.5s. Overall the car felt zippy when it needed to be and the power should be more than enough for most people, but certainly not for the enthusiasts. So why did Toyota create a new Prius with big wheels, a wider body and a lower stance, all of which go against the ideals of maximum efficiency? For once, the hybrid Prius is a contender against the “new norm” of electric cars you see on the road. The Prius’s design alone adds a new layer for consumers in search of a car that looks great and drives well, even if it sacrifices a bit of efficiency. Back in the early 2000s, most can remember looking at the Prius and scorning it for being bland and boring; for Toyota to flip that script and now be considered an alternative to a new defacto is invariably a bold statement, and that’s what makes the new Prius different, daring, and possibly even “cool.” The Toyota Prius Prime XSE Premium starts at $39,170 USD and begins shipping in May. If you’re looking for something from Toyota that’s no compromises, the GR Corolla is the latest in the sporty offerings department.

Whatever the cause, i'm still waiting for PA to do some explosive deals on the e-tron....

Industry Explosion still alright,imagine an Audi E-Tron exploded...then all the current Owners will be driving in fear.

Audi e tron GT

Audi e tron GT, Bentley and old cheebic

Saw an Audi e-tron with PHV sticker today.

@Spurman I second that. All EV’s have instant torque and response. 0-100km in 3 secs or 0-100 in 6 secs isn’t needed in everyday driving, if it matters then you may prefer the traditional engine roaring sound like lambo Mercedes EQC was too bouncy even for my passengers. Audi E Tron, most boring interior, didn’t like the impractical boot size as well iX3 though is the slowest amongst the 3 brands but it feeeeeellssss the fastest, the only reason I can give up the drive of a sedan and go for this SUV is due to the reason that this is the only EV SUV that drives like a sedan at this point of time.

@neoki_29 tbh, IX3 seems to drive best. slowest of the lot but fast enough. Just that the rest r too fast. Interior kinda "boring" but kinda can last the longest and ageless design. E-Tron miles r too low leow, cant even reach KL for a charge. hee. too bad IX3 offers least discount

I tested the e-tron, EQC, iX3. iX & model Y and felt the e-tron was the winner for me. However on paper it had the lowest mileage per charge.

On the subject of OT, Premium is offering $59K OT for the e-Tron SUV (but only valid till next COE bidding today according to SE). However, it's more shifting numbers from left to right hand as they are offering $15K less trade in value for my ride as compared to EK BMW

For HKD1.5m, Audi A8L or e-tron GT?

Audi E-tron and maclaren

Just sharing a fact, Ferrari Roma, 3.9L V8 twin turbo with 612hp. VES Band C2 emissions. Annual road tax is $3.7k-ish. Audi RS e-Tron GT, dual motors with 590hp. VES Band A1 emissions. Annual road tax is $6k-ish. So yes, that's how convoluted it is here.

I was reading an interesting article on "things that will disappear from the auto industry by 2030" and my itchy fingers decided to compile a list of discontinued driver features we'll not be seeing soon with the rise of electric vehicles. https://motor-junkie.com/30-things-that-will-disappear-from-the-auto-industry-by-2030 Keys, Keyfobs to RFID and NFC Keycards No more physical keys with electric cars? What happens if you're locked out of your vehicle? Polestar, why so bulky? Manual Folding Side Mirrors to Auto Folding Side Mirrors to Side Mirrors with Reverse Tilt Down Cue the introduction of Virtual Wing Mirrors on one of Audi's e-tron models, essentially ditching the traditional reflective mirrors for cameras mounted outside of the vehicle, which will in turn be projected onto screens inside the car. Damn, my car doesn't even come with reverse tilt down which I think is super useful when parking. Coincidentally saw this review on the e-tron page. Sometimes less is more. Just imagine getting your fancy video side mirrors hit by lanesplitting motorcyclists or that cockeye human with eyes fixated on their phones - won't be just a flying vehicle plate lol. CD Players!!! Lexus comes to mind instantly, other than having the most comfortable carmat. Haha. I can't remember any other modern cars with inbuilt CD player still. But that's not a result of electric cars, who uses CD players still anyway? Grilles! Grilles are interesting. Some have completely ditched grilles, some have reinvented those iconic grilles into something familiar, and some, strange lol. No grilles on the Teslas. Wafer grille on the Polestar 2, still synonymous with Volvo. The newly launched BYD Atto 3. BYD e6 - Not for those with Trypophobia. In my opinion, this Mazda MX-30 looks really good. Honda-e. Too cute. Looks like my brother's cat. Lol. Volkswagen ID.4. Kia EV6. Upcoming Opel Mokka-e. I really like the big nose grille on the M3 and M4 but not working for me on the SUVs especially the BMW iX. MB EQA. Byebye exhausts. No need for fake exhausts please. TBC! Add on if you will.
