Audi prepares the appearance of a 100% electric SUV

The first electric Audi model to be produced in series is the new R8 e-tron, presented at the Geneva 3.9 seconds to sprint from 0-100 km / h and a range announced equal to 450 km / h. But this is a electrovehicul for two, for those who love speed and do not need much room for 4-5 passengers and tens of kilograms of luggage.



Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Audi chief engineer, told colleagues at AutoExpress that plans to launch a large electrovehicul, which will have a range of 500 km and will be oriented towards the needs of relatively large families.

About officials say that it should not be a SUV because that body is not beneficial for improving air drag. But commercial success in recent years of the Audi Q does nothing to motivate the people at Audi to build namely electric SUV.

He will use MLB platform, which is already the basis for the new Q7 , but will look original, different from everything that Audi in its current portfolio. To use batteries as energy, Audi engineers will use lightweight construction that will help to reduce the total weight.

The vehicle name will appear callsign e-tron, Audi used hybrids and electrovehiculele and presentation of the new car is to take place in the near future, perhaps even in 2015.
