Powertrain

The Y6 is available with only battery electric powertrains using an 800V architecture in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Rear-wheel drive models are powered by an electric motor outputting 335 hp and 400. Nm of torque. All-wheel drive models add a front motor outputting an additional 335 hp and 345 Nm of torque.[4][10]

Initially, both powertrains were offered with a choice of two NMC battery packs: a Farasis-supplied 88.42kWh pack providing a CLTC range rating of 720. km or 620. km for rear and all-wheel drive variants respectively, or a 98kWh pack supplied by Eve Energy with a range rating of 810. km or 720. km for rear and all-wheel drive models respectively. For the 2024 model year, a new rear-wheel drive configuration was offered with an Eve Energy-supplied 81.1kWh NMC pack, providing 660. km of range.[4][10]

All versions of the Y6 have a top speed of 205 km/h. Rear-wheel drive variants all have a claimed 0–100. km/h acceleration time of 5.9 seconds, while all-wheel drive variants do it in a claimed 3.2 seconds.[10]

At launch, the top version of the Y6 using a boosted 520. kW version of the all-wheel drive powertrain was offered with a 150kWh battery pack providing 1020. km of CLTC rated range, but it was no longer listed for the 2024 model year.[10]
