Gewinneinbruch und verhaltene Aussichten bei Audi

Wie beim Mutterkonzern und Porsche ist auch bei Audi der Gewinn eingebrochen. Angesichts der Absatzflaute insbesondere in China hat die VW-Tochter im vergangenen Jahr 33 Prozent weniger verdient.

Well, Audi finally walked back a silly decision that they made. The problem with the even-numbered models being EVs is that the Q4 e-tron makes it seem like it's more like an A4 in terms of features and quality, but it's really more like a Q3.

The Q6 e-tron more like a Q5 than an A6.

I've been a bit of an Audi head for a couple of vehicles now (2004 A4, 2011 S5 and now a 2017 A4 allroad) and have been very underwhelmed with most of the Audi/VW/Porsche offerings, at least here in the US. I did a short test drive of the quattro 55 e-tron Q4 (Audi has also failed on their naming schemes from where it was before introducing the e-tron EVs) and was not happy with its efficiency nor its interior packaging and materials. It's basically a Q3 with EV underpinnings.

Since I've already made the commitment to go with an EV to replace my allroad, none of the VW Group's offerings are on the consider list. The Q6 is too expensive and focuses too much on widgets and tech doodads and same with the A6 e-tron (which we wouldn't be getting the Avant anyway).

Hier lijken #AVG principes aan de laars gelapt door #VAG. Een vraag naar de noodzaak om route- en parkeerdata in de cloud te verwerken lijkt me gepast.

Je kunt bv denken aan een aanpak waarbij (naast opslag in de auto) je telefoon als “cloud” fungeert. Als het toch in de #VW cloud moet, pas dan zero trust met sleutel bij de gebruiker incl. dataminimalisatie toe. Geen onnodige gegevens en bv alleen de actuele parkeerlocatie.

The Audi Q8 e-tron (formerly just the e-tron) is too long in the tooth, not very efficient owing to being based on a variation of an existing ICE platform (MLB/MLB evo), and just not that competitive. Audi and Porsche took too long to bring vehicles out on the PPE platform (Macan EV, A6 e-tron and Q6 e-tron), which isn't helping their competitive footing at all.

Qatar's long-term investment in the future Audi Formula One team, announced at the country's grand prix on Friday, brings obvious benefits for both and increases the Gulf region's influence in the sport. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2024/11/30/more-sports/audi-qatar-middle-east-formula-one/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #qatar #audi #formulaone #volkswagen #middleeast

Der Name des Automobilkonzerns Audi kommt von dessen Gründer August #Horch, der seinen Nachnamen ins lateinische übersetzte.
#Audi ist der Imperativ Singular von #audire (zu Deutsch hören, zuhören) und bedeutet „Höre! “ oder eben „Horch! “ #einTageinWort

I got to test drive an Audi e-tron a while back (before it was refreshed and renamed to Q8 e-tron) and it was an okay overall experience. I disliked the infotainment system setup with dual touchscreens (something they also do with the A6, A7 and A8) and the efficiency was, frankly, bad.

Although I'm glad that they fixed the latter, but it's too little and too late, especially when the new Q6 e-tron is right around the corner.

I agree that a used or CPO Q8 e-tron (avoid the non-Q8 labeled e-tron) is a better choice if you want to get one now.
