Audi is stamping out the combustion engine: From 2026, the Ingolstadt-based company no longer wants to bring any new models with combustion engines onto the market. That works too Off for hybrid vehicles along. The last new combustion engine Audi will probably be the next Q5. The reason for this hard step: It has to CO2 be reduced. This puts the brand early; the EU does not want it until 2035 no new diesel and petrol engines allow more and thus achieve zero emissions from new cars.
Of course, this requires some preparation – and that’s why Audi will be rolling out more e-tron models in the coming years! The Q6 e-tron shouldn’t be long in coming. The possible A2 successor, which could be launched in the form of a small car SUV, is one size smaller.
These two models will be important for Audi in the coming years
1. Audi Q6 e-tron – possible e-tron successor
The new electric SUV should combine the dimensions of the Q5 with the spacious interior of the Q7. Like the electric Porsche Macan, the Q6 e-tron is based on the new PPE platform and should therefore have the fast 800-volt charging technology on board. The range should be 500 kilometers. Audi could still present the new model in 2022. Then it’s time to say goodbye to the e-tron SUV, because both cars are aimed at the same segment.

2. Audi A4 B10 – in the future without V6 diesel
The last A4 with a combustion engine should get more luxury class feeling and thus move closer to the A6. However, you will have to say goodbye to the big engines. The six-cylinder petrol engine could at most still be used in the RS 4, the V6 diesel should be deleted. It could be replaced by an electrified four-cylinder with up to 350 hp. Speaking of electrification: in the new generation, no motor should come without electric support.
