Audi has shown an increased interest in off-roaders in recent years, and after winning the Dakar Rally in 2024, it fits its newest EV SUV with portal axles.

Audi has revealed a new dual-motor electric off-road vehicle concept based on the Q6 E-tron that looks ready for a snowpocalypse. The automaker built a working prototype that lifts the vehicle by 6.3 inches and widens it by 9.8 inches, giving it a stance that wouldn’t be out of place if it appeared in Truck Country, USA.

The Q6 E-Tron Off-Road concept is based on the sleeker Q6 Sportback E-Tron body style. Currently, only the regular Q6 E-Tron is available to order in the U.S. It's available for the 2025 model year and is priced from $65,095, including a $1,295 destination charge.

Audi looks poised to join in on the extreme off-road segment with its latest EV SUV concept. Known as the Audi Q6 E-Tron Off-Road, this portal axle-rocking beast takes things far beyond the brand’s typical Allroad treatment.

That detail will get covered in a moment. First, the car. It first appeared on the Audi Facebook page, of all places, and is described by the brand as the Q6 e-tron offroad concept. While the post made clear this is strictly a concept vehicle “that is not available as a production vehicle,” there’s a lot to like in these photos.
