Audi’s awkwardly named Chinese sub-brand AUDI introduced the E SUV concept at the Guangzhou Auto Show last month and now China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has revealed the production model. It’s known as the E7X and it closely echoes the concept.

The design is instantly recognizable as both have a familiar front fascia with a fully enclosed grille. However, the production model eschews the full light surround seen on the concept. The road-going crossover also has a revised lower intake with what appears to be an active shutter.

Moving further back, we can see traditional and digital side mirrors as well as new cameras or sensors on the front fenders. They’re joined by a roof-mounted Lidar sensor as well as flush-mounted door handles and a variety of wheels in sizes up to 22-inches.

How Big Is It?

The E7X measures 198.8 inches (5,049 mm) long, 78.6 inches (1,997 mm) wide, and 67.3 inches (1,710 mm) tall with a wheelbase that spans 120.5 inches (3,060 mm). That means the production crossover is slightly smaller and shorter than the concept.

Furthermore, to put those numbers into prospective, the model is 0.8 inches (20 mm) shorter than the current Q7. However, its wheelbase extends an extra 2.6 inches (66 mm).

The MIIT didn’t reveal interior pictures, but confirmed at least one variant will be offered with a four-seat setup.

That’s not much to go on, we do know the E5 Sportback has a 27-inch pillar-to-pillar display and an AI-powered avatar known as AUDI Assistant, so it’s reasonable to expect similar tech inside the E7X.

The E5 also sports three-dimensional wood trim, a dual wireless smartphone charger, and an ambient lighting system. They’re joined by a fragrance diffuser and hidden air vents.

Multiple Powertrains And Up To 671 HP

The images reveal quattro and non-quattro variants, which means we can expect an entry-level model with a rear-mounted motor producing 402 hp (300 kW / 408 PS). The all-wheel drive variant, on the other hand, will have 671 hp (500 kW / 680 PS) and a top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h).

The MIIT didn’t have much else to say about the crossover, but the concept had a 109 kWh battery pack that provided a CLTC range of more than 435 miles (700 km). The model also had an 800-volt electrical architecture, which enabled it to get 199 miles (320 km) of range with a ten minute fast charge.

AUDI has previously confirmed the production model will be launched next year, so expect to learn more in the coming months.
