Inovev forecasts 50,000 units per year of the new Audi Q6 E-Tron SUV
- Audi unveiled its battery electric Q6 E-Tron SUV at the 2023 Munich Motor Show, which will be located in the carmaker’s BEV range between the Q4 E-Tron and the Q8 E-Tron.
- The Audi BEV range is therefore being built rapidly, in order to better position itself on the market against BMW and Mercedes, its two main competitors. It is, however, regrettable that the Audi brand has not yet invested in the category of sedans, apart from the E-Tron GT which is located at the very top of the range (E-segment).
- BMW thus has its Mini Cooper, i4, i5 and i7 sedans while Mercedes has its EQE, EQS and Smart. We are therefore impatiently awaiting the launch of the battery electric Audi A2, A4, A6 and A8 as the carmaker announced that the even numbers allocated to its models would be dedicated to battery electric vehicles.
- The new Audi Q6 E-Tron SUV is the first model of the brand to be based on the PPE platform (Premium Platform Electric) which will be used by other models of the Volkswagen group such as the future Porsche Macan.
- In 2022, Audi produced 109,353 electric vehicles including 57,301 Q4 E-Tron, 39,986 Q8 E-Tron and 12,066 E-Tron GT according to Inovev, which represents just 7% of its global production. Inovev is forecasting 50,000 units per year of the new Q6 E-Tron which will be produced at the German plant of Ingolstadt.
