Audi announced the prices for the Q6 e-tron battery-electric vehicle (BEV) SUVs. The entry-level Q6 e-tron Premium RWD model, which has an impressive 321-mile EPA-estimated range, starts at $65,095, including destination and delivery fees. Buyers can now order a Q6 e-tron with the Audi USA model configurator for deliveries that will begin before the end of the year.

Why the Audi Q6 e-tron matters

The Audi Q6 e-tron is the sweet spot for Audi’s fast-growing BEV lineup.  Audi has already introduced the Q4 e-tron compact crossover and the larger Q8 e-tron models. The Q6 e-tron is more than just a place-filler in the model lineup, however, because the Q6 will directly compete with popular BEVs from other brands, including the BMW iX, Tesla Model Y, Jaguar I-Pace, and Mustang Mach-E. As Audi continues to build the luxury-performance brand, the Q6 e-tron line is a key segment.

**Summary**
Rivian Automotive, LLC (Rivian) is issuing a recall for certain 2025 R1S and R1T vehicles.

**Remedy**
Rivian will replace the malfunctioning headlight control modules at no cost to the vehicle owners. Notification letters are expected to be mailed out on March 28, 2025. For more details or assistance, owners may contact Rivian customer service at 1-888-748-4261. The designated recall number for this issue is FSAM-1612.

Full Description
Rivian electric vehicles (EVs) are currently grappling with yet another concerning headlight issue that highlights ongoing challenges in their development. Initially, owners of the Tesla Cybertruck-fighting R1T pickup and the R1S SUV faced frustration due to ice buildup on the headlights, which failed to generate enough heat to melt away frost and snow during chilly conditions.
