Audi plans to offer an electric vehicle in each of its core segments by 2027, CEO Markus Duesmann says.

The second-generation model gets an evolutionary design update both inside and out, together with new mild- and plug-in-hybrid drivetrains and chassis technology.

The Polo-size offering is among 10 new battery-electric vehicles VW plans to launch by 2026 – and a GTi performance variant is in the works.

Battery-electric vehicle and software development will account for up to $131 billion of the German automaker's expenditure.

The new model will be sold alongside facelifted versions of today’s internal-combustion-engine and plug-in hybrid Cayenne from 2026.

The third-generation CLA will offer the choice of battery-electric and gasoline power, with internal-combustion engines to be produced in cooperation with Chinese automaker Geely.

The MBUX Superscreen debuts as an option on the sixth-generation luxury sedan.

The new chip-to-cloud architecture will launch in 2024, initially on the CLA compact coupe.
