From the Matrix LED headings and customisable light signatures to the soft-touch interiors and driver-focused cabin, this model has plenty of things to look at.

Let’s dive into what the SQ6 Sportback e-tron offers on the outside and inside.

Quick read:

• The exterior features a classic Sportback sloping roofline with S-specific performance styling cues.

Audi SQ6 Sportback e-tron Exterior: A Sporty Sportback Design

The SQ6 Sportback e-tron in the Popular Sports Cars UAE segment presents a familiar silhouette. Its shape is defined by a gently sloping roofline that gives it a dynamic stance, even when stationary. This isn't just a standard Q6 with a different roof; the S-specific styling adds purposeful details throughout.

At the front, the design is assertive, while the pronounced wheel arches house large wheels, giving the car a planted look. These arches are a core part of the design, not just functional. Subtle details like the sleek, integrated roof rails add to the premium feel without disrupting the car's clean lines. The overall impression is one of controlled sportiness. It looks like it’s built for performance.

Digital Lighting Gives the SQ6 Sportback e-tron a Distinctive Look

According to the brand, the technology in it works to shape the overall look and allows new functions for better on-road performance. Lighting has become a key part of car design. However, Audi has pushed this further with the SQ6 e-tron. It uses the second generation of digital OLED rear lights and advanced Matrix LED headlights. This system allows for active digital light signatures, a first for the brand.

The best is that owners can choose from several different light signatures for the front and rear through the MMI system. These create dynamic coming-home and leaving-home light shows. Beyond aesthetics, the lights also serve a communication function, displaying specific symbols to warn other road users of potential hazards. It’s a kind of technology that adds both a visual identity and a layer of protection.

Audi SQ6 Sportback e-tron Interior: Sporty, Premium and Comfortable

What can buyers expect from its interior? Well, inside the design centres on a concept Audi calls the "Softwrap". This design element runs from the doors across the dashboard to the centre console, intended to create a uniform and welcoming space for everyone inside. The material choices reflect the car's premium and sporty positioning.

The Sport seats plus are upholstered in a combination of leather and Dinamica microfibre, a material made from recycled polyester. This mix provides both comfort and grip. The cabin layout is clean and driver-focused, but there's a clear emphasis on high-quality trim and tactile surfaces. It feels both modern and comfortable, a space designed for long journeys.

Audi SQ6 Sportback e-tron Infotainment and Smart Cabin Technology

The technology inside the SQ6 Sportback e-tron is dominated by the Audi MMI panoramic display. This setup includes an 11.9-inch virtual cockpit plus and a 14.5-inch MMI centre touch, the biggest infotainment display. For the first time, the front passenger also gets their own 10.9-inch screen, allowing them to assist with navigation or control media.

An augmented-reality head-up display projects information like speed and navigation arrows directly onto the windscreen, appearing to float over the road ahead. It's a cabin built around intuitive technology, right down to the headrest speakers for the Bang & Olufsen 3D sound system. Apart from this, if advanced features are a buyer’s first priority, the XPENG P7+ also arrives in the UAE, so it’s worth checking out
