In addition to the Audi e-tron, the brand is integrating a second, completely new electric car into its existing production network - the Audi e-tronSportback - and is thus enhancing its competitiveness in this important future segment. 'With the decision on the Audi e-tronSportback, we are showing that Audi takes the issue of electric mobility seriously. A second battery-electric model will lead to optimal capacity utilization at our plant in Brussels,' stated Prof. Dr. Hubert Waltl, Member of the Board of Management for Production and Logistics at AUDI AG.

The basis for the new e-automobile is the Audi e-tronSportback concept design study, which the company unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2017. This versatile concept car is a four-door gran turismo with 320-kilowatt electric drive. The coupe's design language combines Audi elements with groundbreaking details. The technology and package of the electric drive are tailored to fit the car's architecture.
