VW delays new Porsche Macan EV platform, cuts jobs as software struggles persist
The drama at Volkswagen’s Cariad unit continues. VW plans to cut around 2,000 jobs while delaying the (already delayed) new software architecture due to be used in upcoming Porsche and Audi EVs.
According to German news outlet Manager Magazin, the board of directors approved the plan at a meeting this week.
As reported, the job cuts at the software unit are expected to start next year, extending into the end of 2025, citing VW Group lead managers.
Volkswagen’s new 1.2 software, set to debut in the new Porsche Macan EV and Audi Q6 e-tron, is being delayed by 16-18 weeks. Meanwhile, the full-scale 2.0 platform is being completely redeveloped.
The next-gen platform, expected to roll out in 2025, is promised to greatly enhance efficiency by unifying software stacks.
Volkswagen’s SSP platform, which was planned as the “single future backbone,” is also being pushed back. The SSP platform was expected to reduce costs, enabling a margin on par with gas-powered counterparts.

Audi Q6 E-tron to be unveiled on 18 March
Audi's long-awaited electric alternative to the Q5 ushers in a radical new approach to cockpit design
The Audi Q6 E-tron will be unveiled on 18 March, the brand has confirmed, kicking off its full-scale assault on the electric SUV market.
It is the first car to ride on the new PPE electric car platform developed in collaboration with Porsche, opening up new packaging possibilities and introducing a new electronic architechture that allows for a near-total rethink of Audi's digital interfaces.
At last year's Munich motor show, Audi highlighted the focus its designers placed on the real-world needs of its driver and passengers in its newly-designed interior. "By understanding the interior as the centre of our customers’ lives and experiences," then-head of design Marc Lichte said, "we are rejecting the status quo and systematically designing the vehicle from the inside out."
Boot space is rated at 526 litres, or 1529 litres with the rear seats folded down, and there is a 64-litre frunk for charging cables and small luggage.
Audi said the lack of transmission tunnel also frees up extra legroom and allows for a more comfortable middle seat.

Audi Q6 e-tron finally has an official unveiling date
Audi's Q6 e-tron has been a very long time in the making - back in 2022 it was supposed to go into production in 2023, for example. In the meantime, we've seen it undergo winter testing and cruising the streets of Denver, and in September last year Audi showed off its interior for the first time.
But it still hasn't been fully unveiled. That will finally change on March 18, the date of the Q6 e-tron's world premiere.

Audi Q6 e-tron quattro
The Audi Q6 e-tron is the first production model on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) and thus the new reference for Vorsprung durch Technik. Through its characteristics, the electric SUV embodies the next step in the company's transformation into a provider of premium electric mobility. The model is defined not only by impressive driving and charging performance, but also by increased efficiency and electric range of up to 381 miles (UK models). The Audi Q6 e-tron embodies typical Audi SUV styling with a further refined e-tron design language. The new design philosophy in the interior and pioneering technologies debuting in the new model, begin the next chapter in electric mobility for the Four Rings and make Vorsprung durch Technik a tangible experience every day. With the Q6 e-tron, e-mobility is coming from the Ingolstadt plant for the first time. The Audi Q6 e-tron quattro and SQ6 e-tron will be available to order in the UK from April 2024 priced from £68,975 and £92,950 (OTR) respectively.
The PPE, developed jointly with Porsche, and the E3 electronic architecture are important milestones in the expansion of Audi's global range of electrically powered models. They mark the start of a comprehensive strengthening and rejuvenation of the model portfolio. The Q6 e-tron underpins Audi's promise to offer electric vehicles in all core segments by 2027. "Built on the new PPE platform, the Audi Q6 e-tron is the next technological leap in premium electric mobility for our customers," said Gernot Döllner, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG, at the world premiere at the main plant in Ingolstadt. "The PPE shows how we are pooling expertise within the Volkswagen Group and thus making electric mobility scalable. Thanks to the PPE, we are able to launch high-volume models with high technical standards in different segments and thus further electrify our portfolio," the Audi CEO added. The flexibility of the PPE helps in giving the future models their independent character and the typical Audi DNA, despite shared technical underpinnings. The Q6 e-tron sets standards in terms of range and embodies typical Audi SUV styling with a further refined e-tron design language. Thanks to the new E3 electronic architecture, the Q6 e-tron model series represents the technological spearhead of the Audi portfolio.

Audi Q6 e-tron Revealed!
The brand-new all-electric Audi Q6 e-tron has been revealed and it’s under consideration for the South African market.
This is the all-new Audi Q6 e-tron and its arrival marks the debut of the Premium Platform Electric architecture. It’s essentially a shared platform with the Porsche Macan. The new Q6 also marks the debut of a new-look e-tron design language as well as interior.
Under the Q6 e-tron’s body lies a newly-developed lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 100 kWh (94.9 kWh usable) which gives the car a range of 625 km. There are two powertrains on offer from launch, a standard Q6 with 285 kW and a sportier SQ6 with 380 kW. These models will feature quattro all-wheel drive, with rear-wheel-drive derivatives following later.
The Q6 e-tron is good for a 0-100 kph dash in just 5.9 seconds, while the SQ6 goes predictably quicker at 4.3 seconds. A top speed of 210 and 230 kph is claimed respectively.
This new PPE platform features 800-volt technology and its capable of fast charging at 270 kW. This means 255 km of range is possible in just 10 minutes at a suitably powerful station. Generally, the Q6 e-tron can do a 10-80% charge in around 21 minutes. At home, the car can accept up to 11 kW. Impressively, the Q6’s brake recovery can harvest up to 220 kW!

All-new Audi Q6 e-tron unveiled
Audi's journey toward true purpose-built EVs has been long and occasionally turbulent. After years of anticipation and a bumpy start stemming from technical delays, the German automaker has finally unveiled its eagerly awaited Audi Q6 e-tron. The sleek electric SUV marks a turning point for Audi, it’s a decisive shift away from its retrofitted electric offerings and into a new era defined by ground-up EV designs.
The Q6 e-tron stands tall on the cutting-edge Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, co-developed with Porsche. This collaboration represents a pooling of resources and expertise within the Volkswagen Group, promising to deliver much-needed scalability across future Audi models. The company is determined to reclaim its legacy as an automotive innovator with the Q6 e-tron, setting the pace for EV range, performance, and charging capabilities.
Powering the SUV is a 100 kWh battery pack, mirroring that of the Porsche Macan. Audi promises up to 270 kW DC charging, enabling drivers to add 255 km of range with a mere ten-minute charge. The key to this impressive feat lies in Audi's new thermal management system, ensuring optimal charging performance even on long hauls. This technology helps address the common concern of 'range anxiety' and promises to elevate the Q6 e-tron into the realm of true road-trip-ready EVs.
