Audi expands electric range to seven models

German premium car maker Audi is gaining momentum in electric models.

For the first time, more than half of all models newly launched in one year are electric, says Markus Duesmann, Chief Executive of Audi AG.

“In this way we are more than doubling the number of our all-electric models, from three to seven,” explained Duesmann. “Sustainability is important for us, beyond the power source. That is why we wish to compensate the entire CO2 emissions resulting from the manufacture of the Q4 e-tron models. This means that all vehicles are to be delivered to our customers with a neutral carbon balance sheet.”

On Thursday, the Four Rings company presented online the Audi Q4 e-tron and the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron, compact SUVs that are electric models.

They represent the brand’s entry into premium e-mobility in the compact segment.

The electric models now available from Audi are the Audi e-tron and Audi e-tron Sportback, the sports models Audi e-tron GT1 and Audi RS e-tron GT2, as well as the Audi Q2L e-tron in China.

The Audi Q4 e-tron and Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron now expand the range and are available from dealers in Europe in June.

By 2025 the company plans to introduce more than 20 all-electric models and to further extend its PHEV portfolio.

Audi, Head of Design, Marc Lichte, says the Audi Q4 e-tron points to the future and is representative of the design language of Audi’s e-tron models.”As the first series-produced car with a digital and individually selectable light signature, the Audi Q4 e-tron guarantees an unmistakable appearance by day and night.”

Henrik Wenders, Head of Brand, at Audi, says the Audi Q4 e-tron symbolizes the next step on the path to the electric future of premium mbility, and stands for ‘Vorsprung durch Technik.' “For customers entering the electric segment, too, we are putting our Audi values on the road and offering a high-quality Audi experience.”
