Every single next-generation Audi to be launched will represent the respective model's last ICE hurrah. The Four Rings have announced plans to end the production of combustion-engined cars in 2033, with a possible extension in China depending on local demand. Case in point, the third-generation Q5 will be the final to get TFSI and TDI engines. It's expected to land at some point in 2023, and in the meantime, it has been speculatively rendered.
The adjacent design exercise is more than just a shot in the dark since it takes after the first batch of spy shots we published earlier this week. The front fascia will borrow a thing or two from Audi's recent crop of electric crossovers, such as the Q4 E-Tron. A boost in size was seemingly noticeable for the camouflaged prototypes, which had the side mirrors mounted at the base of the A-pillar. On the outgoing Q5, the mirrors are pushed back towards the driver.
