The e-tron SUV launched earlier by Audi can be said to be a benchmark car for Audi, and it is also a pure electric SUV that has been listed earlier in the BBA and has really landed. But as more Audi electric vehicles are introduced, more and more models are beginning to hang the e-tron logo, which also makes The naming of Audi's electric vehicles more confusing, and you really need to know Audi very well to distinguish between different e-trons. Therefore, after the current e-tron is remodeled, it will no longer be used as a stand-alone model, according to foreign media reports, the redesigned e-tron will be named Q8 e-tron.
The new Q8 e-tron is based on the MLB EVO platform to build, the platform is not exclusive pure electric platform, but by the fuel vehicle platform improved, and based on the PPE pure electric platform to build electric vehicles, the old e-tron platform technology is relatively backward, but it has not yet been completely abandoned, although it is oil to electricity, but it is not actually the kind of simple and rough PHEV type oil to electricity.
According to Audi officials, the MLB EVO platform used in the Q8 e-tron will be greatly upgraded, and the battery technology will also be upgraded. Audi's intention is obvious, the Q6 e-tron is positioned as a mid-level model, while the old e-tron is more advanced, and because of this, Audi finally gave it the Q8 e-tron designation.
At present, Audi has not announced too many technical details of the new Q8 e-tron, but it is expected that the car will use a 100 kWh battery pack, if there is no accident, the range of the new car will be greatly improved, it is expected to reach at least 600 kilometers above, and it is also the performance under the WLTP cycle.
According to Audi's original plan, the Q8 e-tron will be launched in 2026, but with the acceleration of the electrification process and the increasing number of e-tron models, Audi has significantly accelerated the speed of model adjustment. And this generation of e-tron will soon become a "classic" Audi, becoming Audi's iconic model in the process of electric evolution.
