Now Audi has gone a little bit additional, abandoning its almost-new nomenclature within the course of. As naming conventions go, Audi no less than tried to maintain issues a little bit logical when it informed everybody final summer time that henceforth, odd-numbered Audis—A3, A5, Q5, Q7, and so forth—could be inner combustion or hybrids, and even-numbered Audis—A4, A6, Q6, Q8—could be electrical, or e-tron.

This was the case after we went to see a few of these new Audis within the studio final summer time. There was an all-new gasoline-powered A5, which is available in a good-looking fastback sedan or much more good-looking Avant (station wagon) model, that will not come to the US.

There’s additionally an all-new, fully electric A6, out there as a sedan but additionally as a good-looking fastback sedan and much more good-looking Avant. This one additionally is not coming to America.

As of this week, issues are again to the place they was. Neglect the odd and even distinction; for now, it means nothing once more. A gasoline-powered A6 will break cowl on March 3, Audi says. And as for names? “A” means a low ground, and “Q” means a excessive ground (i.e., SUV or crossover).
