Audi has announced plans to offer a production version of the A6 L e-tron concept for the Chinese market.
According to the German carmaker, the A6 e-tron plug-in hybrid will be based on the A6 L and be built by FAW-Volkswagen. Details are limited, but the model will have a 50 km electric-only range.
In a statement, Audi Chairman Prof. Rupert Stadler said "We are shaping the future of electric mobility in China." His sentiments were echoed by FAW-Volkswagen President Zhang Pijie who remarked "Audi and FAW have been cooperating closely for more than 25 years. Together, we have built up the premium segment in China. Now we are cooperating on the next generation of automobiles."
As a small reminder, the A6 L e-tron concept had a 211 hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder TFSI engine, a 95 hp electric motor and a lithium-ion battery.
