Audi will stop producing the Q8 e-tron electric crossover in 2025

According to the AutoExpress portal, the German brand will close its plant in Brussels, where the battery model is currently being produced. The brand’s management decided to take such a step due to the ineffectiveness of the Belgian site. However, there is no official information about the future successor of the electric car.

Audi launched the Q8 e-tron in 2018. The electric crossover is built on the same platform as the gasoline version. This makes it more expensive and less flexible in production compared to other battery models of the brand. At the same time, the electric Q8 is the only car that is assembled at the plant in Brussels.

The family includes the Q8 Sportback liftback and the charged SQ8. The model underwent its last restyling last year. The company does not disclose the future successor to the electric crossover. It is expected that the new generation will be built on the PPE architecture, on which modern battery models of the Volkswagen concern are based.

In early November, it became known that Audi was going to lay off 4,500 employees of the German automobile plant. Thus, the brand management decided to cut costs.
