The Audi Q8 E-Tron Will Be Axed Early And Its Factory Will Close

China’s Nio was reportedly interested in acquiring the Audi Brussels factory, but the deal was never confirmed and no other investors were found.

Audi will close its factory in Belgium early next year after failing to find a buyer. Its only current product, the Q8 E-Tron, will be axed at the end of February 2025. VW unions are in talks with company officials to find alternative solutions for profitability other than plant closures. We’ve known for months about the troubles Audi has been having with its Brussels plant that today only builds the Q8 E-Tron.

That will probably happen when production of the Q8 E-Tron, which hasn’t been as big a hit as Audi was hoping, stops at the end of February next year. The reasons behind the Q8 E-Tron’s failure are complex and are a mix of falling EV demand in key markets, the arrival of increasingly talented rivals from China, and the fact that it’s just a revamp of the original Audi E-Tron SUV launched in 2018, which feels like an eternity ago given the rate of progress of EVs globally.
