Inovev forecasts 20,000 units a year for the new Audi E-Tron
- Audi unveiled its new 100% electric SUV, which was originally called Q6 (its length is indeed between those of Q5 and Q7) and which is finally called E-Tron, at the Paris Motorshow. This new SUV has the same style as the other SUVs of the brand, like the recent Q3 and the Q5. Audi did not want to create a very different body for its 100% electric SUV. As a result, the E-Tron has a body very similar to that of other SUVs of the Audi brand. Only its name differs from other Audi SUVs. Its competitors are the BMW X3 Electric, Mercedes EQC, Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace.
- The Audi E-Tron has two electric motors, one at the front (168hp) and the other at the rear (188hp). These two engines allow it an autonomy of 400 kilometers (WLTP cycle), equivalent to that of the Mercedes EQC.
- As expected, the Audi Q6 E-Tron will be manufactured in the Audi plant in Brussels (Belgium) which has just stopped manufacturing the Audi A1, its new generation being transferred to Martorell (Spain). However, the production volumes will not be comparable, since the Audi A1 was produced at 100,000 units per year on this site, while the SUV E-Tron should, according to Inovev, be at 20,000 units per year, given its price and its technology that clearly differs from a large series model.
- This model could be marketed in the future with a thermal engine, which would logically be called Q6 and complete the range of Audi SUVs. It would also then use the full capacity of the Brussels production site.
