Audi Q6L e-tron will debut at Auto China 2024 in a week's time

Audi is set to make a bold statement with a number of new models when Auto China 2024 opens on April 25. The vehicles and variants showcased at the Audi booth highlight the company’s continued focus on serving the Chinese market’s specific requirements. The fact all vehicles on display will be fully electric also demonstrates that Audi remains committed to meeting the growing demand for new energy vehicles in China.

The exterior of the new Audi Q6L e-tron is set to be unveiled at the Volkswagen Group Night on April 24. The Q6L e-tron will be shown for the first time at Auto China from April 25 to May 4, as will the Q5 e-tron RS edition for the Chinese market. Additionally, the SQ6 will make its first appearance in the country. With the premiere of the Q6L e-tron, the largest model initiative in the history of Audi is kicking into gear in China. A clear commitment to localizing key models is an important part of the local approach “in China for China”.

The Q6L e-tron marks the arrival of the new PPE platform in China. Audi FAW NEV Company will start production of three PPE-based models of the Audi Q6 e-tron and Audi A6 e-tron families for the Chinese market before the end of 2024. Pre-series production at the new plant has already begun. The new facility, operated under the joint venture Audi FAW NEV Company Ltd., is situated in Changchun, the capital of northeastern China’s Jilin province. The production site will exclusively manufacture all-electric Audi vehicles for China and is the first Audi plant to exclusively do so. It is also a smart production site setting high standards in digitalization, efficiency, and sustainability.

It was about time for Audi to announce a new electric car and the Q6 e-tron was, without doubt, highly expected. This is the first production model on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE). It embodies typical Audi SUV styling with a further refined e-tron design language. The new design philosophy in the interior and pioneering technologies debuting in the new model, begin the next chapter in electric mobility for…
