Audi had its Annual Press Conference earlier today and made an important announcement regarding its electric vehicle expansion. Company CEO, Markus Duessman, took the stage to confirm the Q6 E-Tron purely electric SUV is going to be launched next year.<\/p>\n
“Our Ingolstadt site is in the midst of preparing for the production of all-electric models. Remodeling includes, for instance, a conversion of the old A3 body-in-white into the PPE body-in-white facility. The first all-electric model to roll off the assembly lines from 2022 is the Q6\u00a0E-Tron.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
To be built at home in Ingolstadt, the zero-emissions model will ride on the same Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture as the next-generation Porsche Macan.<\/p>\n
The Audi Q6 E-Tron will follow the fullsize E-Tron SUV<\/a> (pictured here)<\/em> launched in 2018 as an electric adaptation of the MLB platform originally engineered for vehicles with combustion engines. Later this year, the Q4 E-Tron<\/a> \/ Q4 E-Tron Sportback will premiere as the first Audi models based on the MEB platform engineered from day one purely for EVs.<\/p>\n
