Audi’s collaboration with SAIC in April 2026 unveiled its first all-electric SUV, the AUDI E7X, at Auto China 2026 in Beijing with much fanfare.

As the brand’s second production model, this large SUV is set to stand out in the electric premium SUV segment in China, blending Audi’s progressive engineering excellence, iconic driving dynamics, and craftsmanship with China’s cutting-edge digital ecosystem and tailor-made in-cabin experience for Chinese lifestyles.

Produced at the AUDI intelligent production base in Anting, Shanghai, the E7X will launch in the first half of 2026, expanding the brand’s footprint in the Chinese market and delivering on its core promise of the best of both worlds.

Measuring 5,049 mm in length, 1,997 mm in width and 1,710 mm in height with a generous 3,060 mm wheelbase, the AUDI E7X is a progressive large SUV with a commanding on-road presence, dynamic proportions, and unrivalled versatility.

Built on the jointly developed Advanced Digitized Platform (ADP) with its zonal electronic architecture, it delivers next-generation connected vehicle functionality, full-vehicle over-the-air updates, and seamless integration with China’s digital ecosystem.

The E7X is underpinned by a high-performance 900-volt architecture offering two powertrain variants: a 300 kW rear-wheel drive version and a 500 kW variant with quattro traction and dynamic acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.

Battery packs with 100 kWh or 109 kWh gross capacity offer generous CLTC range, with the larger battery delivering more than 750 kilometers. 4C fast charging replenishes the battery from 10% to 80% state of charge in just 13 minutes.

The lidar-based AUDI 360 Driving Assist is tailored for China’s complex traffic conditions.

In the E7X cabin, zero-gravity seating, a 21.4-inch rear-seat entertainment display, the Bose Performance Series sound system, and the AI-powered AUDI Assistant 2.0 bring together cutting-edge intelligence and uncompromising comfort.

“With the E5 Sportback, which has been honoured as China Car of the Year 2026, we opened a new chapter for Audi in China’s electric age. The AUDI E7X now extends that pioneering vision to the important SUV segment,” says Gernot Döllner, Chairman of the Board of Management of AUDI AG. “With a clear product development roadmap that is seamlessly integrated with the Chinese innovation ecosystem, we look confidently to the future with more tailor-made models to come in the next few years.”

“The AUDI E7X is the first SUV built on the Advanced Digitized Platform—a vehicle that balances Audi heritage with future. Totally new yet unmistakably AUDI. Progressive design, superior driving dynamics, and the latest innovations blended in a family-focused SUV,” says Fermín Soneira, CEO of the Audi and SAIC Cooperation Project.
