Audi is the world’s first automaker to use such a system in an electrically powered series production vehicle. The cleverly designed aerodynamics also contribute significantly to its efficiency.
Technology on a different level
One highlight of this concept is the optional virtual exterior mirrors – a worldwide first in a series production model. Not only do they reduce aerodynamic drag, but they also take digitalization in the vehicle to a whole new level.

It is equipped with the high-end media centre MMI navigation plus including LTE Advanced and a Wi-Fi hotspot as standard. Numerous assist systems further relieve the driver. For example, the standard efficiency assist promotes an economic driving style by displaying predictive information and performing automatic recuperation.
If the customer selects the adaptive cruise assist, the system can also brake and accelerate the electric SUV predicatively.
