Designed from the inside out: The interior of the new Audi Q6 e-tron model series is tailored more closely than ever to the user’s needs and has been reimagined accordingly. For example, the three-dimensional, high-contrast design deliberately places elements in the foreground or background, creating a three-dimensional spatial architecture with aesthetics and ergonomics perfectly tuned to the occupants. The Audi Q6 e...

If you're a regular reader of this blog, then you likely already know that the MLB-Evo-based B10-generation platform Audi has been testing for some time in the forms of sedan/Sportback, Avant and crossover Q5. You likely also already know that next-generation internal combustion offerings will go for odd numbers (A3, A5, A7, etc.) while all-electric e-tron EV versions will go for even numbers (A2, A4, A6, etc.). So while we've seen those "B10" A5 ...

While it may be a Porsche and this is Audi Club, the detailed sighting of the upcoming Macan SUV is worth noting and paying attention. Unlike the current Macan, the next-generation crossover will be a pure EV. Like the current Macan, it'll be based on an Audi-derived platform architecture. In this case, it's the PPE modular matrix that will also underpin the Q6 and upcoming A6 e-tron variants.
Notable amongst this set of photos is the int...

When it comes to rumors around German car brands, the Ger...

While cars like the "normal"-back long-wheelbase A7L and the Sportback configured A6 e-tron took all the headlines, Audi quietly revealed a second concept car and may have tipped even more of its model positioning with that China-only A7L.
That Auto Shanghai is happening at all is kind of a big deal. When the COVID-19 curtai...
