Production vehicles

Q8 e-tron (2018)

Audi e-tron is based on the MLB platform. Audi e-tron IMG 3579.jpg
Audi e-tron is based on the MLB platform.

An SUV formerly called the 'e-tron' with a 328 kilometer (204 mile) EPA range and a 95 kWh battery started production in 2018 [3] [4] and was first delivered in 2019, with Norway being among the first markets. [5] The vehicle is sold new in multiple countries, including the US, Canada and multiple countries in Europe. At the end of September 2019, there were more than 10,000 e-trons registered worldwide. [6] [7] [8]

Audi announced that the facelifted e-tron will be renamed to Audi Q8 e-tron which was revealed on November 9th 2022. [9]

Q2L e-tron (2019)

The Q2L e-tron is an all-electric version of the long-wheelbase variant of the subcompact SUV Audi Q2, which went into production at the Foshan plant in November 2019 and is sold exclusively in China. Powered by a 38 kWh lithium-ion battery of Chinese supplier Contemporary Amperex Technology, the Q2L e-tron has a range of 265 kilometres (165 mi) on one charge and a top speed of 150 km/h (93 mph). Its electric motor delivers the maximum power of 100 kW (134 hp) and maximum torque of 290 N⋅m (214 lbf⋅ft). [10]

Q8 e-tron Sportback (2020)

The e-tron Sportback is an all-electric coupé SUV shown first as a concept at the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show. It has the same powertrain/battery as the e-tron SUV. Both cars are produced in Brussels, Belgium. [11] As in the e-tron SUV, the battery of the vehicle is liquid-cooled. [12]

The production version was revealed at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. European and American deliveries started in 2020. [13] [14]

The 2020 e-tron Sportback has an EPA range of 218 miles (351 km). [15] It is better than in the 2019 e-tron SUV, partially because a larger percentage of the battery capacity is usable. The e-tron's battery management system keeps part of the battery capacity as a buffer, which is not part of the usable capacity; now the size of that buffer was decreased to unlock more usable capacity. This change was introduced in the e-tron SUV during the production run, while in the e-tron Sportback, which entered production later, it was available from the beginning.


Audi has announced that the facelifted e-tron will be renamed to Audi Q8 e-tron which will be revealed at 9 November 2022. [16]

e-tron GT (2021)

The e-tron GT is a four-door all-electric grand tourer. The concept model was showcased at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. It is built on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan. [17] It is fitted with an 800-volt system, which substantially reduces charging times. The vehicle is driven by two permanently excited synchronous electric motors with a combined power output of 434 kW (582 hp). A 90-kWh lithium-ion battery powers the e-tron GT's electric engines and enables it to travel up to 248.5 mi (400 km) according to the new WLTP standard. [18]

The e-tron GT concept made an appearance in the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame , in which Tony Stark drives the e-tron GT in one scene in the film. [19] Production model is announced for 9 February 2021.

Concept vehicles

e-tron Frankfurt (2009)

Audi e-tron (Frankfurt)

The first e-tron concept car was shown at the 2009 International Motor Show Germany. A two-seater, similar in appearance to the Audi R8 but slightly smaller, is powered by four UQM Technologies motors, [28] providing four-wheel drive. Together, these produce 313 PS (230 kW; 309 hp) and 4,500 N⋅m (3,319.03 lb⋅ft) of torque, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.8 seconds.

A 470 kg (1,036 lb) 42.4 kWh lithium-ion battery is located in front of the rear axle and provides a range of approximately 248 km (154 mi) [29] with a full charge taking 6–8 hours from a normal household socket. It has ceramic disc brakes as well as regenerative braking. [30] In 2010 Audi began a development program with the objective to manufacture a limited production R8 e-tron. [31] [32] The R8 e-tron made a brief appearance in the 2013 Marvel Studios release of Iron Man 3. [33]

After developing 10 prototypes for research and development purposes, in May 2013 Audi decided to cancel production of the electric car due to its limited all-electric range as battery technology had not advanced as quickly as Audi had expected, making the R8 e-tron unviable for series production. [34] In March 2014 Audi revised its decision and announced it will build the R8 e-tron upon request. The carmaker explained that their latest development work resulted in an increased range from 215 km (134 mi) to approximately 450 km (280 mi). [35]

e-tron Detroit showcar (2010)

Audi e-tron (Detroit showcar)

The Audi e-tron Detroit showcar (confusingly, also named "e-tron") includes 2 electric motors driving the rear wheels with a combined output of 204 PS (150 kW; 201 hp) and 2,650 N⋅m (1,954.54 lb⋅ft) of torque, with lithium-ion batteries behind passenger compartment and ahead of the rear axle, adaptive matrix beam LED headlight modules with clear glass covers, fully automatic light assistance system, Audi Space Frame with doors, lids, sidewalls and roof made of a fiber-reinforced plastic; built-in central display with integrated MMI functions, front axle hydraulic fixed-caliper brake, electrically actuated floating-caliper brakes mounted on the rear axle, heat pump, triangular double wishbones made of forged aluminum components at the front and rear axles, direct rack-and-pinion steering, 19-inch wheels of 35-spoke design, 235/35 front and 255/35 rear tires. The concept car can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 5.9 seconds. [36]

The vehicle was unveiled in the 2010 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. [37]

A similar production model, based on a future mid-engined automotive platform codenamed 9X1, shared with Porsche and Volkswagen, is reportedly under development. [38]

A1 e-tron (2010)

The Audi A1 e-tron concept car, an electric variant of the Audi A1 production model, was first shown at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. The A1 e-tron is a series plug-in hybrid, powered by an electric motor from UQM with a continuous output of 45 kW (61 PS; 60 bhp), and a peak output of 75 kW (102 PS; 101 bhp). A 254 cc Wankel engine is also used to power a 15 kW (20 PS; 20 bhp) range-extending generator. [39]

e-tron Spyder (2010)

Audi e-tron Spyder

Shown at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, this roadster is a plug-in hybrid powered by a 221 kW (296 bhp) twin-turbo TDI 3.0 L V6 diesel engine driving the rear wheels, plus two electric motors together producing 64 kW (86 bhp) powering the front wheels. Acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) is achieved in 4.4 seconds, [40] and it could theoretically travel 30 miles on electric power at the equivalent of 107 mpg. Audi also claimed the car had a range of 620 miles on combined diesel and electric power.

Audi presented the e-tron Spyder in January 2011 at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, near identical to the Paris show car, but this time painted bright red. The car was advertised with the same performance specifications, including an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h). [41]

A3 Sportback e-tron all-electric (2011)

The Audi A3 e-tron is an all-electric car variant of the Audi A3 production model. The A3 e-tron is powered by an electric motor under the hood which sends power from the rear- and mid-mounted battery packs to the front wheels. The 26.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack provides an optimal range of around 92 mi (148 km), but between 70 and 75 mi (113 and 121 km) in real driving conditions. Top speed is limited to 89 mph (143 km/h). [42]

Audi deployed a fleet of 17 all-electric A3 by mid-2012 as part of a testing program in the U.S. The testing is conducted among Audi's engineers and company employees, and the company has no plans to test the vehicles with customers. [42] [43]

Audi A3 Sportback e-tron plug-in hybrid

In June 2012 the carmaker confirmed production plans for a plug-in hybrid version of the A3. [42] [43] [44] The plug-in hybrid concept car was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. [45] The basic powertrain hardware of the Audi A3 e-tron is shared by the Volkswagen Golf GTE plug-in hybrid, but the software controls of each car are different. [46] In May 2013 Audi announced its decision to produce only a plug-in hybrid version, the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron. [47] [48] The A3 Sportback e-tron has an 8.8 kWh battery pack that delivers an all-electric range of 50 km (31 mi) on the NEDC cycle, and a total of 940 km (580 mi). The plug-in hybrid can reach a top speed of 220 km/h (140 mph) and can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.6 seconds. According to Audi the car has an average fuel efficiency of 1.25 L/100 km (188 mpg‑US) and CO2 emissions of 35g/km. [47] [48]

In September 2013, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Audi announced that pricing for the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron will start in Germany at €37,000 (US$44578.31). [49] The vehicle is also scheduled to arrive in Australia in early 2015. [50] On 1 August 2014, Audi announced the vehicle is now on sale across Europe at the companies 410 dealerships [50] starting at €37,900 (US$45662.65). [51]

The first 227 vehicles were registered in Germany in August 2014. [52] According to JATO Dynamics, a total of 415 vehicles have been registered worldwide through September 2014, [53] of which, 250 were registered in Germany. [54]

Retail sales were scheduled to begin in the U.S. in early 2015. [1] In an April 2015 video, Audi America president Scott Keogh said the 'price point is going to be around $40,000,' but made no indication if that was before or after tax incentives. [55]

Audi discontinued the A3 PHEV Sportback e-tron in Europe in November 2018. [56] However, the model was briefly re-introduced at the end of 2019 for MY20, now called A3 Sportback 40 e-tron under Audi's new naming scheme. The revised A3 e-tron in the UK featured a different level of specification, losing the previously standard LED headlights but gaining Audi's virtual cockpit as standard. The revised model featured the same battery and drivetrain as before, now rated at 22 miles of electric range under the new WLTP test. [57] [58]

R8 e-tron (2015)

The production version of the Audi R8 e-tron was introduced at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. [59] The limited production electric sports car was available only in Europe. Fewer than 100 units were sold at the end of production run. [60]

The history of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) spans a little more than a century, but most of the significant commercial developments have taken place after 2002. The revival of interest in this automotive technology together with all-electric cars is due to advances in battery and power management technologies, and concerns about increasingly volatile oil prices and supply disruption, and also the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Between 2003 and 2010 most PHEVs on the roads were conversions of production hybrid electric vehicles, and the most prominent PHEVs were aftermarket conversions of 2004 or later Toyota Prius, which have had plug-in charging and more lead-acid batteries added and their electric-only range extended.
