With the concept vehicle AUDI E SUV concept, a progressive large SUV unveiled at the Auto Guangzhou, the China-exclusive sister brand AUDI is giving a preview of its second production model shortly after its successful debut.
The sister brand for China, which was unveiled in November 2024, is specifically aimed at new customer segments in the market for intelligent electric vehicles.
It combines Audi’s technological expertise with the innovations of its partner SAIC in China’s digital ecosystem. Based on the Advanced Digitized Platform (ADP), developed jointly with SAIC, the AUDI brand is launching models that complement the global Audi brand’s portfolio in China. The first AUDI model, the E5 Sportback, was successfully launched in September 2025.
With a length of 5,057 mm, a width of 2,042 mm, a height of 1,786 mm, and a wheelbase of 3,060 mm, the AUDI E SUV concept is positioned as a large all-electric premium SUV. It combines futuristic SUV design, Audi’s signature driving dynamics and quattro traction with first-class travel comfort and comprehensive digital connectivity. Two electric motors, one on the front and one on the rear axle, deliver a total output of 500 kW. Together with quattro all-wheel drive, this enables the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about five seconds.
With the AUDI 360 Driving Assist System, the AUDI E SUV concept features innovative driver assistance systems specifically designed for China. Customized for Chinese traffic conditions and driving scenarios, they enable a relaxed and safe driving experience – on highways, in dense city traffic, and during assisted parking.
The concept vehicle is equipped with a 109-kWh battery, which allows for a range of more than 700 kilometers calculated according to CLTC. The 800-volt architecture of the Advanced Digitized Platform can recharge 320 kilometers of range in ten minutes at a fast-charging station.
The E SUV concept translates the AUDI brand’s design language, developed exclusively for China, into the prestigious stance of a large SUV. Its exterior design is monolithic, composed, and distinctive. Perfect proportions, short overhangs, and a precisely composed vehicle architecture give the model a dynamic appearance; even when stationary, it seems to be striving forward.
With clean surfaces, wraparound lighting graphics at the front and rear, and powerfully sculpted wheel arches, the E SUV concept continues the family design language within the AUDI portfolio, while clearly asserting its own identity.
The upright front with digital Matrix LED headlights vertically arranged in the black wraparound loop emphasizes the SUV’s confident presence. The production version of the E SUV concept will premiere and be launched in 2026 as the second model from the AUDI brand.
