The debut of electric cars on the market is a big problem for some brands. The reason is quite strange – it has to do with the order in the naming. Not everyone is betting on a completely new label that requires a few moments of learning. So what do you do when a little mess arises at the range? Well, you could make a little revolution — and theoretically fuel that mess. This is how the Audi A4 B10 becomes the Audi A5 B10. I will explain to you why.
Audi A4 B10? None of these things. Now we will get four versions of the A5 model
Audi came up with a rather interesting idea that will allow the entire family of internal combustion and electric cars to be regulated. Admittedly, one can get the impression that it was created completely by mistake, although the first steps towards changes are already visible.
Audi A4 / A5 B10 2023
First – electric models will earn even numbers
This means that Audi A4 It survived, but as an all-electric mid-range sedan. The same applies to the upcoming A6 model. In each case, the E-Tron nickname, which is a hallmark of the brand, will be added.
This strategy is already evident with the Q4 E-Tron and Q8 E-Tron. The long-developed SUV that will fit between these two cars will be called the Q6 E-Tron.
In turn, the combustion engine successor to the A4 would become the A5
Thus, a whole line of related cars will be offered under one name. Here we will get the A5 Limousine, A5 Avant, A5 Sportback and Cabriolet. These two cars are currently under interrogation.
The small A3 would remain in place, and the combustion engine behind the A6 would be called the A7. Here the connection will be the same as that of the A5 model.
It is worth noting that this goes well with SUVs. We already have the Q3, Q5 and Q7 combustion models. On the other hand, the Q8 may go by the name Q7 Sportback or Q9.
On the other hand, don’t expect an Audi A9. Here, the modern Audi A8 E-Tron was announced, an electric limousine that will replace the internal combustion version.
The changes for the models from the S and RS families will be similar
So we can rely on electricity Audi RS6 E-tron And perhaps for the RS5 Avant combustion engine. complicated? None of these things.
resolution Audi It is really reasonable and perfectly combines combustion and electric models in one label. In addition, compatibility with the cars currently offered is a great help for the company.
