Audi developing Q6 to rival with BMW X6
il y a 13 années, 8 mois - 17 Mars 2011
Still think the BMW X6 is a worthless idea? Well, you're not alone, but given that the "Sports Activity Coupe" has reportedly sold more than double its original projections, you'd also appear to be betting against the market. Apparently Audi can't ignore those kinds of numbers, spurring reports that Ingolstadt is preparing a coupe-like crossover of its own.
Tentatively dubbed (unsurprisingly enough) the Q6, the slant-roofed Audi crossover would slot in between the Q5 and Q7. Sources suggest it will be based on the same platform that underpins the Volkswagen Touareg and Porsche Cayenne (as well as the Audi Q7, albeit in an extended form).
Engines would naturally borrow from the Audi parts bin, but a hybrid version like the Touareg and Cayenne is also reportedly in the cards. As is a potential RS version, which would have another go at the on-again, off-again reports of Quattro GmbH delving into the hyper power CUV game to battle the AMG-fettled Mercedes-Benz ML and BMW's X5 and X6M.
