Anyone ordered one of these? Still not seen one in the flesh and local dealer doesn’t have one yet. On paper this ticks a lot of boxes for me via a salary sacrifice lease.

Anyone know current order times?

The press still don't seem to have roadtested them, so I'd imagine it'll still be a while till the dealers have one for you to look at.

What price are you getting through SS? I'm wondering if our scheme is still as bad as it was last time I checked...

For an entry level Sport with Sound Vision pack, I'm getting £1,231 per month gross, £793net (40%) for 10k pa 3yrs!

I've ordered an Edition 1. I've been told that it should be here in August, although I've read that others are now being quoted 45 week lead times.
Dealers should start getting demos next week.
Audi are currently offering a free charger and installation for all Etron's and free tech pack worth 3k on Q6 Quattros.
Ive added pwn roof, nappa leather, and pearl paint.
The Leaseplan SS it's £1286 gross for 8k and 48 months.
The Sport Quattro on the 10k 36 month that you mention is coming out at £1230.

Is it even out yet? theres been no press stuff about it. I'd be loathed to try a new platform from VAG group, seems to to take them a while to get things right tongue out The original Etron being a case in point tongue out

Hopefully that's even more reason to get it right this time! Orders opened in May and UK deliveries start next month.
The PPE platform is shared with the new Macan EV, which seems to have been well received, with a few reviews stating that it sets a new standard for the segment. Hopefully some of this will translate to the Q6!

The press reviews seem a little slow in coming through. I wonder if they've had to delay the production version for some reason.

It does have an air of there being a bit of an issue - they really can't afford for things to wrong with this new platform so I suspect they're holding off till they're 99.9% certain things will go smoothly. The Macan was launched before the Q6 and I don't think they've had customer deliveries yet either.

I'd be very surprised if customer deliveries were due in July without the press having had final production versions for evaluation.There's normally a good couple of months between the two happening.

Someone on another forum has just had an email confirming delivery for an SQ6 the last week of July

A-ha! Very positive review. There’ll be some sighs of relief within the PPE development team and VAG more broadly. I think an A4 estate with the 302hp rear motor could well be my next company car if it’s out by 2026/7 when my ID3 is due to go back.

Trouble is, it looks like you can't have air suspension unless you have the SQ6 in the UK.

All the review models are European spec with air suspension optioned in.

I've had conformation that my car is being built this week, with estimated delivery in 6 to 9 weeks.
Still no cars in the UK though, and therefore no UK road tests.

Dropped into my local Audi dealership today, they have a demo Edition 1 in Plasma Blue (I wouldn't bother, I don't think it does it any favours).

Looked ok, if a little unexciting. The interior was black and tbh it put me off a bit. I think I'd go for the creamy white instead - or at least I would have done but it seems to have disappeared off the configurator.

Couldn't get a test drive, the vehicle was fully booked today apparently. Yeah right'o.

Interesting! My local dealer (Manchester) said they won't receive their demo until September.
I've just looked on Autotrader and it seems that both Reading and Leicester have Ascari launch editions now.

My dealer informs me that they aren't allowed to move their demos on until 100 days have passed.

Anyone know what the spec difference is between the Launch Edition and the Edition 1? I can’t see a Launch Edition version on the Q6 configurator but I see they are now showing on Aototrader at price about mid way between Q6 Edition 1 and SQ6 Edition 1.

I think the launch edition added air suspension, active cruise assist and the panoramic roof.
Both cars have the optional tech pack added as part of a promotion that ran to the end of June

Local dealer is up and running with a standard Q6 demo and had just taken delivery of an SQ6 but that isn't registered to drive yet. This is down in Truro so guessing most dealers have them now.

Really liked it, didn't drive it as waiting for the SQ6 to be ready to take out as we really want the air suspension - but it's a great environment inside and plenty roomy.

Probably enough to get us back out of our Tesla into an Audi again after a 7 year break. Not sure the uptick from the Q6 to the SQ6 is worth it though, might just wait for the air-suspension to be launched on the Q6, or get an SQ6 ex-demo.

Demo colours not great though as someone else has already commented. Ascari blue on the Q6 and a grey on the SQ6.

Delivery quoted under 12 weeks, plenty of factory build availability.

The colour palette is shocking.

No silver or light metallic grey. Very un-Audi.
