Collaborating with SAIC Motor and utilizing the Chinese firm’s platform, Audi is developing an electric vehicle, with the first model to be unveiled tomorrow.
The 4.87-meter AUDI E5 Sportback will feature a 100 kWh battery offering 370 km of range with a 10-minute charge, a 776 HP all-wheel-drive motor system, and Momenta’s autonomous driving technology.
To maintain its rapidly declining market share in China, Audi is turning to this partnership with a local firm, aiming to bring its first model to customers by late summer.
It’s unclear whether a version of this vehicle will be sold in Europe. However, it’s certain that the German brand must invest in ultra-fast charging, advanced autonomous driving capabilities, and digital features to compete in the luxury segment.
