We have already spoken on more than one occasion of what liosas that can become denominations of some models. Each brand has its own identity, with names that refer to some concrete theme or with alphanumeric codes with its own meaning. The fact is that confusion can become such that they are forced to rectify. Audi takes a new twist to their names and corrects its previous premises. That the even numbers would be for electric and odd for combustion must be forgotten …
The firm of the four hoops will no longer differentiate by propulsion system, it will do so in Size and positioning function As happened before. And they just announced after the recent launch of products under his premise. In fact, the Audi A5 are substitutes for the previous A4 and the A6 e-tron would only be available in electrical format by that electricity rule = peers and combustion = odd. In any case, It is not the first time that Audi has problems with its peculiar nomenclatures.
There was enough mess with its introduction of the power level in kilowatts, with the famous 35 TFSI, 40 TDI or 55 TFSI. Although it seems that this is being withdrawn, the brand users are still assimilating all recent changes. To make it clear from now on, the previous rule of the Numbers by size and positioningbeing the lowest for compact access models and going climbing at a higher level of distinction. A are for Berlin, Sedanes, Compact and the rest of the bodies; while those who continue to represent the SUVs.
This makes the way of calling their vehicles simplify, being more intuitive for customers. It stops applying the even and odd numbers and will make it clearer with the Launch of an Audi A6 of Combustion Although they said it would not come (and that it would become the A7). The next A6 will be presented in March and the differentiation with respect to the electric will be e-tron vs tfsi, for example. There will be no more changes in Audi, than It will continue to use last names such as Avant, Sedan or Sportback to specify the body and e-tron, TFSIE, TFSI or TDI for the propulsion system.
This seems a decision motivated by the slow electrification advance. Audi was clear that he would be able to have electrical models, but the low sales have made them consider the launch of combustion versions in the same range (as in the Audi A6) to be able to survive in this long transition stage. If we add that customers were not happy With certain changes, we have this historical cable collection.
