With new design sketches, Audi is today unveiling the design of the Q4 e-tron – a new all-electric compact SUV to go into production in “late 2020/early 2021.”
We first heard of the vehicle last month when Andreas Mindt, Head Exterior Design at Audi, confirmed that the German premium automaker plans to unveil a “smaller e-tron SUV”.
At the time, they showed a teaser, but the company is now unveiling full design sketches ahead of a concept unveiling in Geneva.
They wrote about the Audi Q4 e-tron:
“Audi is showcasing its compact SUV study with electric drive at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show. The Audi Q4 e-tron concept provides a glimpse of the next stage of Audi electric mobility and is due to be presented as a volume-production vehicle in late 2020/early 2021.”
Here are the new design sketches of the Audi Q4 e-tron released today:
It’s not included in the release today, but Mindt previously said that unlike the bigger e-tron SUV, it would be based on VW’s MEB platform, which would likely make it the first Audi vehicle on the new electric platform.
The design concept of the Audi Q4 e-tron is expected at the Geneva auto show in March and the production version should be unveiled next year ahead of the start of production early next decade.
