At the Frankfurt Auto Show last September, Audi revealed an entirely-electric SUV, the Q6 E-Tron. Destined to take the fight to eh Tesla Model X, Audi claimed 500 kilometres of full-EV operation, thanks to a massive 95 kWh battery. Power is a claimed 435 horsepower.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today in Detroit, hydrogen was the word of the day on the Audi stand, after the German manufacturer revealed the Q6 H-Tron concept. As you\u2019ve probably guessed, the \u201cH\u201d stands for nature\u2019s most abundant element, hydrogen, the energy source for the H-Tron\u2019s battery. Audi claims that it should help provide even greater range.<\/p>\n

According to the manufacturer, the H-tron will be able to cover 400 miles—about 600 km\u2014with a single fill-up. It does make less power than the E-Tron, however, dropping to 208 hp and 406 lb.-ft. of torque.<\/p>\n

The reduced power is chalked up to the H-Tron having just two electric motors, while thre E-Tron gets three.<\/p>\n

The H-Tron\u2019s AWD system is borrowed from the new Q7, while a suite of electronic safety and driver aides has also been borrowed from elsewhere in the Audi line-up. Even with all that hydrogen tech, you\u2019ll still get 500 litres of claimed cargo space.<\/p>\n

The H-Tron is not the first h-powered car we\u2019ve seen; Toyota has already been selling its Mirai in the U.S., while Hyundai has offered a fleet of hydrogen-powered Tucson FCEV crossovers to British Columbians for the last year.<\/p>\n

As for the future of hydro tech, Mercedes has teased the existence of a hydrogen-powered GLC-Class crossover, and Honda has been dabbling with the technology for a few years now.<\/p>\n

As far as the H-Tron goes, don\u2019t expect to see it on the road before 2020, suggesting its little more than a concept at this time.<\/p>\n
