corona virus
remains
present

And at
Audi
,
too
, several
models are
in the starting blocks and want to
imitate
the
Audi e-tron
, which is one of the best-selling
electric cars in the
world.
In Norway, Audi's successful car is actually the most frequently purchased Stromer ever.
Audi: e-tron GT and Co. - these models will be launched in 2021
With the
Audi e-tron GT
, the Ingolstadt-based company is launching a purely electrically powered
sports car
for the first time, so the R8 has an electric brother.
The
Audi Q4
and
Q4 Sportback
are also pure Stromer, as the Bavarian premium manufacturer announced at the request of
echo24.de *
.
Audi new releases 2021
Audi e-tron GT (electric)
Audi Q4 and Q4 Sportback (electric)
Audi Q5 Sportback (plug-in hybrid)
Audi RS3
The
Audi Q5
SUV
will also have a Sportback variant in 2021.
Unlike the Q4, however, it is not a pure Stromer.
However, the
Audi Q5 Sportback
will be available as a plug-in hybrid version.
With the new
Audi RS3
, the Ingolstadt-based company is also staying true to its roots and bringing a sporty combustion engine onto the market.
Audi: e-tron GT and Co. - when will the new models arrive?
But when will
Audi's
new
models come
onto the market?
Audi
was not yet able to answer
this question
when asked
by
echo24.de
.
"This sort of thing is not tied down to the last so early in the year - and in times of corona lockdown and unusual automobile trade shows, this may be understandable," said an
Audi spokesman
.

However, it looks different when production starts for the individual models.
The
Audi e-tron
GT
, the
Audi Q4
and
Q4 Sportback
and the
Q5 Sportback
should all go into production within the first six months.
Only the
Audi RS3
will only roll off the
assembly line
in the second half of the year.
Audi: e-tron GT and Co. - this is where the new models roll off the assembly line
For the production of the five newcomers, the Ingolstadt-based company can rely on its global production network.
Like the R8, the
Audi e-tron GT will
roll off
the assembly line in the Böllinger Höfe in
Heilbronn
.
The Bavarian premium manufacturer has specially modernized the manufacture *.
The
Audi Q4 and the Q4 Sportback
will in future be produced at the Zwickau plant.
The RS3 is now rolling off the assembly line at Audi's main plant in
Ingolstadt
.
Audi has selected the plant in San José Chiapa, Mexico,

Q5 Sportback
SUV coupé
