The Audi Q6 e-tron feels like a precision-engineered salon on wheels—sleeker, more driver-focused, with crisp handling and an interior that whispers luxury rather than shouts it. The BMW iX is the bigger, bolder statement: cavernous, supremely comfortable and range-minded; pick the Q6 for the grin-inducing drive, the iX for relaxed long-distance authority and road-presence.
