There are still several months separating today, and the day Audi reveals the redesigned E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback crossovers. Rumors point to the automaker giving the pair a thorough mid-cycle redesign that goes a bit beyond the typical front and rear restyle, like Audi potentially renaming it to the Q8 E-Tron. We’ll have to wait for Audi to confirm that, but until then, new spy shots show off what some of those visual changes will look like when the new model debuts later this year.
The new shots show the sleek crossover with a different camouflage pattern on the front, and a close inspection reveals a few other differences. The grille more closely resembles the one Audi introduced last year on the Q4 E-Tron. It looks to feature a closed-off design, which we would expect on an electric vehicle, but the covering could be a trick of the cladding. The lower bumper intake openings are also conspicuously covered up.
