In question, the regulations which continue to evolve, thus encouraging manufacturers to develop their ranges of connected vehicles, at the risk of suffering various financial penalties. A first step, before the total ban on the sale of thermal vehicles in 2035 in Europe.But this evolution in the automotive landscape also has another, more unexpected effect: the rebirth of city cars. A time gone out of fashion, because too unprofitable, the latter are now making a comeback, embarking electric motorizations completely consistent with their mode of use, mainly urban.

On the side of the German manufacturers too, we are working on the development of new trendy models, and in particular at Audi. Indeed, the Ingolstadt firm has greatly expanded its range, with the e-tron and e-tron Sportback, the Q4 e-tron as well as the e-tron GT and its RS version, a cousin of the Porsche Taycan. Other segments will soon be invested by the firm, and in particular that of station wagons, with the version of the Audi Avant A6 e-tron concept. But the brand with the rings does not intend to stop there, since it also plans to enter the city car segment, launching a model located under the A1. Information confirmed by Oliver Hoffmann, member of the board of directors of Audi to our colleagues from Automobilwoche. “We will electrify all major segments by 2027 […] This is particularly the A-segment, where we clearly see the need for premium electric vehicles for the future”.
