Audi and SAIC's strategic partnership continues to gain momentum. CEO Shu Ruizhe has announced that three new models will be launched over the next three years, with the plan already in the execution phase. Audi has set clear goals in the field of L3 autonomous driving. AUDI-branded models are developed specifically for Chinese consumers, and maintaining a strong focus on the Chinese market will remain a core priority in the years ahead. Audi has established a dual-brand, dual-partner channel architecture: FAW will reinforce the four-ring brand's strengths in both intelligent luxury new energy vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles, while SAIC Audi will concentrate on the AUDI letter-mark brand and the new energy market. The Audi Innovation and Technology Center in Shanghai has officially opened, serving as an R&D entity established specifically for the AUDI brand, with full vehicle development and end-to-end capabilities. The two parties will jointly develop four all-new AUDI models based on the Audi ADP 2.0 intelligent digital platform, with the first model slated to make its debut in 2028.
