During the annual general shareholders ‘ meeting, Audi has a booklet gained about future models. Except a new large and small Q, is the brand in 2018 with a electric SUV.

That Audi, for example, in the second half of 2015 (read: during the IAAA in september) with a new A4 coming, we knew that already. That the Q1 next year, since 2013 (though they have it for the form yet confirmed). But Audi has during the shareholders ‘ meeting more models officially announced, the Q8, and an electric SUV to be precise.

Audi Q8

Those who thought that the cake after four Q-models, however, would be, that’s wrong. There is a model above the already compact Q7 in 2019. It is still wait and see if Audi, the Q8 is actually in centimeters, let it grow, as a competitor for the Mercedes GL or even the Bentley Bentayga, or that they are BMW X6 and Mercedes GLE Coupe after going through a somewhat exclusive and sportier ” variant of their current Q-top.

Electric SUV

A year earlier, comes Audi with a sporty electric SUV, which can compete against the Tesla Model X. Since the electric SUV earlier in the planning than the Q8, the car that name in any case not get. A model between the Q5 and the Q7 seems likelier, if only because there naamtechnisch still fits in between. Previously went there are rumours about an 80-KWh-large battery pack, could Audi also be able to opt for the 92 KWh battery pack from the electric R8 e-tron.
