Audi has decided that it will develop an electric additional model that will be positioned below the Q4 e-tron. The brand announces this today during the presentation of its operating results for the past year.
“We recently decided that we will introduce an additional entry-level model, positioned below the Q4 e-tron,” said Markus Duesmann, Audi’s CEO, during the brand’s business results presentation. That is not entirely surprising, but Audi has not previously confirmed that it will come with a model below the Q4 e-tron. Now it is.
The striking thing about this is that Duesmann speaks of an ‘additional entry-level model’, an extra entry-level model. During the presentation, the brand indicated that it wants to offer an electric car in every segment in which it operates from 2027, that it only wants to introduce EVs from 2026 and that it only builds fully electric cars from 2033 – for the global market. It is not yet known what exactly the ‘extra entry-level model’ includes.
The brand is withdrawing from the B segment with the disappearance of the current Audi A1 and is not expected to return there, although Audi claims it has not yet made a final decision on an ID2all equivalent. It is to be expected that the brand will introduce an electric Audi A3-like product in the not too distant future (with the disappearance of the A1 and Q2, the new entry-level segment will soon follow). Anyway; you probably don’t need a lot of patience. Audi will introduce ten new EVs over the next two years.
