Everything from that point forward <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/06\/23\/audi-confirms-ev-only-2033\/\">will be an electric vehicle<\/a>, and that will include the rumored Q8 E-Tron. Allegedly debuting the same year, Ingolstadt&#8217;s flagship SUV will be made in Brussels where the E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback are currently being assembled.<\/p>\n<p><em>Automobilwoche<\/em>, a sister publication of\u00a0<em>Automotive News Europe<\/em>, cites sources within Audi, claiming the Q8 E-Tron will replace the existing gasoline-and diesel-fueled Q8 built in Bratislava, Slovakia. The current model has already been electrified with mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, and it seems it will abandon the ICE altogether for its next iteration.<\/p>\n<p>Before starting the assembly of the Q8 E-Tron in 2026, Audi\u2019s Brussels factory will kick off the production of a <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/06\/25\/2023-audi-e-tron-longer-range\/\">facelifted E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback<\/a>. Both are due in 2023 and will be available for approximately three years before they&#8217;ll be replaced by the Q8 E-Tron.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3324\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Audi-Q8-TFSI-e-quattro-26.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Audi-Q8-TFSI-e-quattro-26.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Audi-Q8-TFSI-e-quattro-26-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The decision to discontinue the two E-Tron electric SUVs is logical seeing as how they\u2019re based on the MLB Evo platform originally intended for cars equipped with combustion engines. Their replacement, the Q8 E-Tron, will be developed from day one strictly as an EV with greater range and a spacious interior thanks to a long wheelbase and a flat-floor design.<\/p>\n<p>Bear in mind that before all this happens, 2022 will be the year when Audi is going to introduce the <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/03\/18\/audi-q6-e-tron-launch-2022\/\">Q6 E-Tron<\/a> riding on the PPE platform co-developed with Porsche. The latter will launch its own all-electric Macan to signal the expansion of its EV portfolio in the coming years. The Four Rings are also working on a flagship electric sedan codenamed &#8220;Landjet&#8221; to sit above the E-Tron GT from 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <em>Automobilwoche<\/em> reports the final decision regarding where the Q8 E-Tron is going to be manufactured will be taken in November this year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.automobilwoche.de\/article\/20210613\/BCONLINE\/210619975\/exklusiv---ersatz-fuer-den-e-tron-audi-baut-neues-elektro-suv-q-e-tron-in-bruessel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Automobilwoche (subscription required)<\/a> via Automotive News Europe<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026 will be the year when Audi is going to launch its final new model equipped with a combustion engine.
