For the time being, Audi has to watch from the sidelines as the new electric Mercedes C-Class and BMW i3 duke it out in the electric luxury sedan segment. Ingolstadt plans to fight back in 2028 when it will finally bring back the A4. Reinvented as an EV, the long-running nameplate is being repurposed for a completely different vehicle that will have little in common with the A5, which replaced the gas-fueled A4 a couple of years ago.
Before the A4 returns, Audi is finally sharing some preliminary details about its long-awaited electric sedan. Chief Technical Officer (CTO) Rouven Mohr has confirmed it will be among the first mass-produced models to adopt the new design language introduced by the Concept C in 2025. The Nuvolari will beat it to the punch when deliveries begin in 2027, but the Lamborghini Temerario-derived machine is limited to just 499 units.
