Fermín Soneira, CEO of the Audi and SAIC Cooperation Project, told Reuters that AUDI, the China-focused electric brand formed by Audi and SAIC, will add a sporty high-end sedan to its lineup in 2027.
He said engineers need about two years to develop the model because it will comply only with Chinese regulations, enabling a faster development pace with SAIC's involvement.
AUDI said the E5 Sportback has sold 10,000 units since its September launch, and the E7X SUV goes on sale in the second quarter of this year.
The new sedan will carry the AUDI name spelled in capital letters rather than the Four Rings and follows a continued Chinese preference for traditional three-box sedans; AUDI's models aim at younger, affluent buyers with distinct designs.
