We first spotted the redesigned Audi E-Tron Sportback last October. The crossover had camouflage covering the fascias, hiding the new styling. It won’t be a radical change. That will arrive a few years from now. Instead, a mid-cycle facelift and a rumored name change will keep the all-electric crossover feeling fresh as an onslaught of competitors begins to arrive. A new batch of spy shots has captured the restyled model cold-weather testing.
The E-Tron, allegedly being renamed to the Q8 E-Tron to better position it in Audi’s expanding lineup of electric vehicles, wears the same camouflage coverings as the previous test vehicle. However, this one is a tad different. The chrome trim around the greenhouse and the chrome roof rails are a stark contrast to the other test vehicle’s black trim. The current E-Tron offers similar trim differences, which look to be carrying over to the redesigned model.
