New model will be developed in just three years, and will serve as battery-powered accompaniment to A3 and Q3
Audi will accelerate work on a new entry-level electric model, which will effectively replace the A3 in the firm’s line-up – with company boss Gernot Döllner claiming it will be a “wonderful, unique, independent concept". The new machine is tipped to arrive in 2027, with Döllner saying it will be the product of an accelerated development time of around three years as the firm bids to compete against fast-moving Chinese rivals.
” Given the popularity of SUVs, an entry-level electric model could potentially take the form of a high-riding crossover rather than a hatch – serving as a sibling model to the combustion-powered Q3. At last year’s Munich motor show, now-former Audi technical chief Oliver Hoffman hinted that the new model would use the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform, which also underpins the Q4 e-tron, rather than the higher-end PPE architecture Audi has just launched.
