2025 Audi Q6L e-tron

The Chinese market is important for all car manufacturers, including Audi, which will, at Auto China: April 25 to May 4, 2024, present fully electric cars intended primarily for the demands of Chinese customers. Among them will be the Audi Q5 e-tron RS and Q6L e-tron, as well as the Audi SQ6, which will make its debut on the Chinese market.

“The Chinese market is central to the transformation of the Audi brand into a leading global provider of premium electric mobility. With the opening of the new factory in Changchun, locally developed electric models, and state-of-the-art digital technology tailored to users’ requirements, we are putting our plan for continued success into action,” said Audi CEO Gernot Döllner.

With the Q6L e-tron, Audi announces the arrival of a new PPE platform in China, on which Audi will produce its three versions of the Audi Q6 e-tron and Audi A6 e-tron until the end of 2024. The cars will be produced at the Audi FAW NEV in Changchun, which is the first Audi plant to do just that. Pre-series production at the new plant has already begun.

Redesigned Audi e-tron GT

In response to the Porsche Taycan, in 2021 Audi introduced a bold looking car, the Audi e-tron GT. It is an all-electric car that will soon receive its redesigned edition. However, before the official premiere of the new e-tron GT, Audi revealed a prototype of this model.

A first look reveals minor design changes compared to the current generation. These include a new front bumper with redesigned intakes, a new front fascia, and a redesigned rear diffuser. The car shown features a new set of aerodynamically optimized rims in black, and it has been announced that it will also be equipped with a new active suspension with hydraulic actuators. This will enable new adjustment options, which will give the driver a wider range of driving modes and settings, and ultimately further increase the comfort and driving dynamics of the electric model.

The biggest changes will be under the hood. At the top of the range of the new e-tron GT will be the RS Performance version, which will have more than 646 hp (482 kW). This is the same power that the current RS e-tron GT has, but still less than the competitor Porsche Taycan Turbo S, which has 952 hp (710 kW).

Audi hasn’t revealed much about the mechanical and technological improvements that come with the redesigned edition. However, if we look at the recently updated Porsche Taycan, the new e-tron GT has more powerful electric motors, faster charging up to 320 kW instead of up to 270 kW, and there is talk of a battery larger than 105 kWh, which would mean a longer range. As a reminder, the current generation is equipped with a 93.4 kWh battery.

Although Audi hasn’t announced when the new e-tron GT will premiere, it’s certain that we won’t have to wait long.

2025 Audi S3

In 2020, Audi revealed the latest generation of the sports model S3 (8Y), and four years later, a redesigned edition of the C-segment car arrived on the market, the Audi S3.

Customers will still be able to choose between two versions of the body, which will be offered in combination with four new colors. It is equipped with a wider one-piece grille that is positioned lower, a redesigned front spoiler with larger air intakes and a redesigned rear spoiler. Quad titanium tailpipes, suspension with adaptive dampers, and 19-inch wheels with 235/35 tires are optional.

Inside, the dark cabin is equipped with premium materials such as leather covering the sports front seats with integrated headrests and a multifunction steering wheel, stainless steel pedals and aluminum door handles.

What many are most interested in is the powertrain. Under the bonnet is still a 2.0L four-cylinder turbo petrol engine with 333 hp (248 kW) and 310 lb-ft (420 Nm) of torque. That’s more than its predecessor, which has 310 hp (231 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels (quattro) via an upgraded 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (S tronic). It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.6 seconds (0.2 seconds faster than its predecessor), with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
