Unveiled at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, the Audi E Concept is a luxurious all-electric wagon that not only showcases the brand’s vision for the future of electric vehicles but also marks the beginning of Audi’s rebranding journey in China. The Audi E Concept represents a significant milestone in the collaboration between Audi and the Chinese automotive giant SAIC, as it is the first vehicle built on the jointly developed Advanced Digitized Platform (ADP).
The Audi E Concept features an elegant and aerodynamic design that combines the spaciousness and practicality of a wagon with the sleek and futuristic aesthetics of a luxury electric vehicle. Measuring 4.87 meters long, 1.99 meters wide, and 1.46 meters high, the concept car commands a strong presence on the road while maintaining a sophisticated and modern look.
Under the hood, the Audi E Concept boasts a powerful dual-motor setup that delivers a combined output of 570 kW and 800 Nm, providing an exhilarating driving experience. Complementing this impressive performance is a high-capacity battery pack that enables a claimed range of up to 700 km on a single charge.
The collaboration between Audi and SAIC on the ADP platform enables the development of vehicles that cater specifically to the preferences and needs of Chinese consumers. As part of this strategy, the Audi E Concept and future models based on the ADP platform will be exclusive to the Chinese market.
The introduction of the Audi E Concept signals a new era for Audi’s presence in China, as the brand aims to expand its reach in the world’s largest electric vehicle market. With a perfect blend of luxury, performance, and cutting-edge technology, the Audi E Concept serves as a bold statement of Audi’s commitment to driving innovation and shaping the future of electric mobility.
