The next generation A4 will be sold as an A5 model and in the future A6 will be officially renamed A7.
In an interview with German car media, former CEO Markus Duesmann responded positively.
Not limited to A4, A6, Audi would also like to take this opportunity to reformulate naming rules. Markus Duesmann reveals that, in the future, Odie’s odd-numbered tail number will correspond to the internal-fired engine model, while even-numbered tail numbers will correspond to the pure-wire version of the car, and that Audi will retain the “E-tron” in the pure-electric series to highlight the uniqueness of the pure-truck model.

To break the naming precedent, the next generation of Audi will adhere to a parallel strategy of pure electricity, internal combustion engine versions, until Audi fully transitions to full-scale electrification.
The bottom-up pure electrical change took place first on the A4 model with the "distant" task.
Next generation A4 Avant exposed to high hopes A4 E-tron
The first person arrested in the road test was Audi's new A4 Avant.
In the first half of this year, this A4 Avant was frequently found to be running winter tests on ice and snow. A photo of the car in the media shows that the front face of the road test vehicle uses the Audi classic hive fence, not a closed one.
In addition to some new changes in the detail of the new section, first of all in terms of the overall shape of the car, which is much lower than the cash A4 Avant, the Audi anticipated that the new Avant model would re-route the movement and make the front of the car shorter; in addition, there had been some minor changes in the windpipe style of the back of the car, and the square blacking of the windpipe was assumed to be the new S-Line sports kit of Audi.

It is worth mentioning that we also found electric traces of this road test vehicle on the side of the car, with a prominent "charging mouth" design on the back side of the car, and that it is likely that the captured road test vehicle is a travel version of A4 E-tron.

In fact, there has been consistent information that Audi has been trying to get a clean A4 E-tron recently. For Odie, A4 is not only responsible for "discretion" in the fuel age, but also for taking the lead of traditional luxuries in the pure electricity age.
A combination of channel information shows that the new A4 E-tron will follow the A6/Q6 E-tron model, with the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) pure power structure developed jointly with the Porsche. The new vehicle will be compatible with 800V high voltage charge, while introducing a new 100-degree battery. Compared to the previous generation of Audi's MEB structure, A4 E-tron has a maximum charge power of 270kW and can support the continuation of A4 E-tron within 10 minutes of 155 miles (approximately 250 km), which is 2 times the Q4 E-tron model.
The addition of a brand-new PPE pure electrical structure has released the continuation and recharge potential of the Audi electric car.
Next generation, A4.
In addition, on the basis of the PPE high-performance pure power platform, Audi used the electric power to make a simpler car-type rating. Compared to the relatively redundant configuration classification of the A4 fuel version, the brand-new A4E-tron is divided by an electric power, providing two configuration model options: a single back-drive and a double-drive.
Of these, A445 E-tron, driven by a single power, with 261 horsepower and 425 N.m. rectangles, will be introduced as an entry car model for the A4 E-tron series, while the top pairing model is A455 E-tron, with a double power four-drive programme, with 402 horsepower and 664N.m.
Interestingly, Odie didn't stop exploring high-performance lines on the E-tron model. On the basis of A4E-tron, a S4E-tron with more than 500 horsepower will be launched, and RS4E-tron will also be in Odie's motorization program.
On the A4 E-tron series, Audi drew a "product curve" that is close to the fuel line.

A4 E-tron carries the ambition of Audi to take over the market.
Have great plans, which makes our designers very happy.
In an interview with the media, Markus Duesmann described the state of the Udi team in developing a pure tram. In his view, the pure tram model would represent a significant proportion of the Audi ' s product series, and the development of a pure tram model would excite the design team.
Shorter forwards shape lower body postures and become the brightest design element of the Audi E-tron series. Audi believes that excellent product power and recognition can make the E-tron series out of the pure electricity age. The goal of the whole new generation A4 is not to compete in the BBA's traditional luxuries, in internal anticipation, and they think that A4 E-tron's direct opponent should be Tesla.
The ideal is full, but the reality is so strong.
The use of brand value against Tesla is still a win, but the power of A4 E-tron’s products in the country’s pure electricity market is not good even now.
Moreover, the brand-new A4E-tron seems far from being able to launch the market, and according to the Audi's internal plan, the new generation of A4E-tron will not be able to enter the mass production phase until 2025, and will not be able to appear until the end of 2024.
It is clear that Audi's movement is much slower in the race track. It is a cruel fact that the Audi PPE platform is proud of its "100kWh Battery" and "800V High Pressure" and that it might have been worth the "Big Book" last year. If it had been released last year, Ordy would have given the market a thunderous round of applause, and we could have even congratulated the "100-year-olds are still young." But the reality is that in 2023, these two pure electricity technologies are hardly "fresh."
The new power "roll" technology in the country is much faster than we thought. In terms of battery technology, there are thousands of miles of cylindrium-based batteries up to the top, and basic products are also in demand for the arctic pyrotechnic pyrotechnic pyrotechnic pyrotechnic pyrotechnic pyrotechnics, and it is difficult for car-based products to be coloured by large-volume power cells alone; in addition, 800V silicon carbonated siphons are plentiful, and now does not deserve a "big book" and new power cars, as intellectually represented, have even begun to explore 900Vs.
It can be anticipated that Audi A4 E-tron, which began large-scale production only in 2025, is difficult to avoid "pull and fall behind" compared to the first level of pure electricity. The only thing left to lose the competitiveness of pure electricity is the "brand value" that traditional luxurious car companies can't remove, which in the end is "a step in the right direction."
A4-Etron is like a regular traveler, and in 2025, Audi will be on the last bus.
