Audi to start producing electric urban compacts

Speaking in a recent interview with Top Gear, Oliver Hoffmann – Head of Technical Development at Audi – said the company was not interested in narrowing down its offer to just SUVs and crossovers. These vehicles might be at their peak of popularity now, but by 2027, the Ingolstadt company expects to have a fair number of electric city cars in its portfolio as well.

Hoffmann says Audi pays especial attention to compacts right now, believing that the demand is going to start rising soon. Parking in big cities remains as problematic as ever, and more and more people switch their attention to cars that are actually practical to drive in these conditions.

By 2027, the manufacturer plans on having EVs in all segments of the market, which includes SUVs, light passenger cars and compact urban cars coming to replace the Audi A3 hatchback.

We have already seen a clear hint at such an EV. Several years ago, Audi used the MEB platform to design a concept named AI:ME – you can see it in the gallery and the video here. In all likelihood, the production car will look similar to it.
