Audi Unveils AUDI and AUDI E Concept: A New Era of Innovation

Double Debut in Shanghai: AUDI and the AUDI E Concept

Audi has unveiled an exciting new chapter for its brand with the debut of AUDI, a unique electric-focused marque designed specifically for China, alongside the revolutionary AUDI E concept. The launch signals a bold step forward for Audi, combining its rich heritage of “Vorsprung durch Technik” with China’s innovative spirit to cater to a tech-savvy and forward-thinking customer base.

Introducing AUDI: Innovation Tailored for China

AUDI, distinguished from the classic four-ring logo brand, is a 100% Audi DNA product created in collaboration with SAIC, designed to meet the specific demands of Chinese premium customers. These customers are younger, more tech-savvy, and seek unparalleled connectivity, automated driving, and cutting-edge in-car experiences.

Audi CEO Gernot Döllner explained:

“Launching this new brand is our way of tapping into new and tech-savvy customer segments, creating state-of-the-art vehicles exclusive to China.”

AUDI E Concept: Benchmark for a New Generation

At the center of this transformation is the AUDI E concept, an all-electric Sportback that previews the future of AUDI’s production vehicles. This groundbreaking model combines luxury, performance, and practicality, tailored for China’s urban megacities.

Key Specifications

• Dimensions: 4,870 mm length, 1,990 mm width, and 1,460 mm height with a 2,950 mm wheelbase.
• Performance: Dual electric motors delivering 570 kW and 800 Nm, allowing acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds.
• Range: A 100-kWh battery offers an impressive 700 km range (CLTC), with 800-volt architecture enabling rapid charging—370 km in just 10 minutes.
• Interior Design: Combines natural materials like illuminated wood with cutting-edge technology, including a curved 4K pillar-to-pillar display and smart AI-based controls.

Designed for Chinese Customers

The AUDI E concept prioritizes the preferences of Chinese customers, blending traditional aesthetics with innovative technology:

• Exterior Design: Minimalist yet dynamic, with smooth arches and striking lighting graphics.
• Interior Features: A seamless blend of comfort and technology, offering an intuitive user experience with features like the AUDI OS operating system and AI-powered AUDI Assistant.

Strength in Collaboration: Audi and SAIC

The partnership between Audi and SAIC underscores a "best of both worlds" philosophy. Audi provides expertise in premium design and engineering, while SAIC contributes speed-to-market innovation and deep market insights. This collaboration has resulted in the Advanced Digitized Platform, setting a new benchmark for electric and intelligent vehicles.

Looking Ahead: A Promising Future

The AUDI E concept is just the beginning. By 2025, three new models will be launched in the mid-size and full-size segments, catering to a rapidly evolving market. This partnership aims to reduce time-to-market by 30%, ensuring that Audi remains at the forefront of premium electric mobility in the world’s largest automotive market.
