Audi has reversed its 2023 model naming strategy that used odd and even numbers to differentiate between electric and internal combustion engine vehicles. After customer and dealer feedback highlighted confusion, Audi is returning to a more traditional alphanumeric system based on model size. Both electric and combustion models will share the same base name, with drivetrain variations indicated by 'e-tron' for electric models and 'TFSI' and 'TDI' for petrol and diesel engines.
Audi has officially confirmed a reversal in its model naming convention, abandoning a strategy introduced in 2023 that sought to differentiate internal combustion engine models from electric models using odd and even numbers. The move comes after customer and dealer feedback confirmed confusion over the newer system. Under the original plan, internal combustion engine models, including plug-in hybrids, were assigned odd-numbered designations: 1, 3, 5, 7.
“This decision follows extensive discussions and aligns with the preferences of our customers and international dealer network,” said Marco Schubert, Audi board member responsible for sales and marketing. “Our updated naming approach ensures a more intuitive understanding of our line-up, making it easier for customers worldwide to navigate our portfolio at a glance.
