Audi e-tron leads as top-selling electric SUV in Europe

The Audi e-tron is the worldwide market leader in its segment. The first fully electric series production model from Audi is popular all over the world with customers and media alike.

Numerous awards and comparative tests stand testament to this. With the e-tron GT, the Q4 e-tron, and the Q4 Sportback e-tron, Audi is looking toward an electric year 2021.

In the first half of 2020, Audi delivered 17,641 e-tron models to customers worldwide. This corresponds to an increase of 86.8% as compared to the previous year - despite the difficult market situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The fully electric Audi model is therefore way ahead of its competitors in the full-size battery electric vehicle SUV segment worldwide. It is even the overall top-selling electric SUV in Europe.

The Audi e-tron is highly sought after in the Scandinavian market in particular. In Norway, which is the pioneering country when it comes to electric mobility, it was the top-selling passenger-car model in the first half of the year.

The e-tron makes up 92% of the volume of Audi models delivered in Norway. It also makes up a significant portion of deliveries in Iceland at 93%, Sweden at 12%, and Israel at 14%. In the U.S.A, the e-tron has recorded an increase in sales by more than 50% as compared to the previous year.

Today's successes are an incentive for tomorrow's goals. With the Audi Q4 e-tron concept, Audi gave visitors to the 2019 Geneva Motor Show a taste of the brand's first compact electric SUV.

With the Q4 Sportback e-tron, the brand has now presented the second model of the product line, which will go into production in 2021 as an SUV coupe. Both models will be important cornerstones of the electric strategy.

Customers can look forward to another major highlight coming next year with the launch of the Audi e-tron GT. Performance and an expressive design are the most important ingredients for the e-tron GT. It thereby emphasises the sportiness of the brand and continues the success story of the Audi e-tron together with the electric Q models.
