Audi AG showcased the Audi Concept Shanghai at the 2021 Shanghai Motor Show. It managed to grab some attention with its rather interesting paint job. The images of its production-spec avatar have recently leaked. We managed to get our hands on them. The production-spec model’s pictures got leaked via the website of China’s Ministery of Industry & Technology.
These pictures were uploaded on the website as a part of the homologation process. As per rumours, the production-spec iteration of the concept model will be called the Audi Q5 e-Tron. Yet, it will hardly share any component with the IC-engined Q5 apart from the four-ringed logo. Although, it will have a lot in common with the Volkswagen ID.6.
It is easy to understand from the leaked images, the Audi Q5 e-Tron’s styling is rather conventional. It manages to adopt the family design language of Audi’s electric range, but it looks more practical than others. We can confirm – the Audi Q5 e-Tron buyers will have a slew of alloy wheel options to choose from. The lighting setup will be different on the various trims of the electric SUV.
Design-wise, the Q5 e-Tron looks appealing from all angles. The published data reveals that the Q5 e-Tron will be 4876 mm long, 1,860 mm wide, and 1,675 mm tall. It will have a wheelbase of 2,965 mm to elevate a lot of room inside the cabin.
There will be three trims on offer – 35, 40, and 50 Quattro. The Q5 e-Tron will be available in either a single-motor layout or dual-motor layout. This variant line-up is like the Volkswagen ID.6, as they are both underpinned by the same MEB structure. In the 35 and 40 grades, the Q5 e-Tron will get an RWD layout with peak power outputs of 181 Bhp and 201 Bhp, respectively.
The range-topping 50 Quattro trim will get two motors fixed on each axle. This variant will have a max output of 302 Bhp. The electric SUV will do a 0-100 kmph whack in 6.6 seconds only, even after tipping the scale at 2,410 kilos. Soon, we might also get to see the Q6 e-Tron. The brand is working on a bigger and more powerful model than the Q5 e-Tron, which might shed veils by next year.
