Now Audi has gone a little bit additional, abandoning its almost-new nomenclature within the course of. As naming conventions go, Audi at the least tried to maintain issues a little bit logical when it advised everybody final summer season that henceforth, odd-numbered Audis—A3, A5, Q5, Q7, and so forth—could be inner combustion or hybrids, and even-numbered Audis—A4, A6, Q6, Q8—could be electrical, or e-tron.
This was the case once we went to see a few of these new Audis within the studio final summer season. There was an all-new gasoline-powered A5, which is available in a good-looking fastback sedan or much more good-looking Avant (station wagon) model, that will not come to the US.
There’s additionally an all-new, totally electrical A6, obtainable as a sedan but in addition as a good-looking fastback sedan and much more good-looking Avant. This one additionally is not coming to America.
As of this week, issues are again to the place they was once. Overlook the odd and even distinction; for now, it means nothing once more. A gasoline-powered A6 will break cowl on March 3, Audi says. And as for names? “A” means a low ground, and “Q” means a excessive ground (i.e., SUV or crossover).
