Audi on Friday revealed a new electric crossover at Auto Guangzhou 2021.<\/p>\n

It’s sized between the E-Tron and recently launched Q4 E-Tron<\/a>, but it isn’t the Q6 E-Tron<\/a> that Audi plans to unveil in 2022. Rather, the new crossover has been badged a Q5 E-Tron, and it’s been developed exclusively for the Chinese market where it will be built by Audi via a local joint venture with Chinese automaker SAIC.<\/p>\n

The vehicle is hardly a surprise as it was formally announced in April during Auto Shanghai 2021, where Audi rolled out a thinly veiled concept version. Prototypes have also been spotted testing in the past year.<\/p>\n

\"2022<\/p>\n

The Q5 E-Tron is based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform designed for mainstream electric vehicles, and is essentially Audi’s version of the Volkswagen ID.6 X<\/a> (shown below), another electric crossover developed for the Chinese market.<\/p>\n

Like the VW ID.6 X, the Audi Q5 E-Tron measures roughly 192 inches in length and features third-row seats. The standard configuration will be seven seats but buyers will have the option of swapping the middle row with a pair of captain’s chairs.<\/p>\n

Three grades have been announced. The base 35 grade will offer a 55-kilowatt-hour battery and a rear-mounted motor rated at 177 hp. The mid-range 40 grade will offer an 83.4-kwh battery and a 201-hp motor at the rear. The range-topping 50 grade features the same battery as the 40 grade, but a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system good for 302 hp.<\/p>\n

\"2022<\/p>\n

Sales of the Q5 E-Tron in China should start late this year or early next.<\/p>\n

While we won’t see this particular Audi in the U.S., the brand with the four rings plans many more electric vehicles for our market in its quest to transition to a full-electric lineup<\/a> in the coming decade. The Q4 E-Tron arrives later this year and will be followed by the Q6 E-Tron in late 2022 or early 2023. An A6 E-Tron<\/a> is also due in 2023, and we should also see an updated E-Tron<\/a> by then as well.<\/p>\n
