Introduction: A New Era for Luxury Electric Vehicles
Since Audi launched its exclusive AUDI sub-brand for China in November 2024, the company has worked hard to demonstrate its ability to move fast and think locally in the world’s largest electric vehicle market. These efforts reached a major milestone in Beijing with the full reveal of the E7X — the brand’s second production model and its first SUV.
Following the launch of the Audi E5 Sportback in 2025, the brand’s first SUV, the Audi E7X, will be officially unveiled at the 2026 Beijing International Auto Show, with pre-sales opening on May 8.
Complete Technical Specifications of the Audi E7X
Advanced Platform and 900-Volt Electric Architecture
The vehicle is built on the sophisticated Advanced Digitised Platform and features the AI-powered AUDI Assistant 2.0, delivering a range exceeding 750 km according to CLTC standards.
The powertrain uses a high-voltage 900-volt architecture, a 109.3 kWh battery pack, up to 751 km CLTC range, and ultra-fast 4C charging that adds 429 km of range in just 10 minutes.

Powertrain Options and Performance
The AUDI E7X will be offered with two powertrain variants. The base rear-wheel-drive version produces 408 hp and 500 Nm of torque. The top dual-motor all-wheel-drive version delivers a combined 680 hp and 800 Nm of torque. Audi claims the AWD model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.
- Rear-Wheel Drive: 408 hp | 500 Nm
- All-Wheel Drive: 680 hp | 800 Nm
- 0-100 km/h (AWD): 3.9 seconds
- Top Speed: 230 km/h
Battery and Ultra-Fast Charging
Both versions use the 900-volt architecture, enabling impressive charging speeds. Buyers can choose between 100 kWh and 109 kWh battery packs. The larger pack delivers up to 751 km of range under CLTC testing.
Charging performance may be the strongest technical selling point. Audi states that the 4C fast charging can replenish the battery from 10% to 80% in just 13 minutes, positioning the E7X among the fastest-charging luxury electric SUVs on the market.
Dimensions and Exterior Design
Measuring 5,049 mm in length, 1,997 mm in width, and 1,710 mm in height with a 3,060 mm wheelbase, the E7X is a genuinely large SUV. This generous wheelbase is key to its impressive rear-seat experience.
The E7X adopts a design language that moves away from traditional Audi styling. At the front, vertically stacked Matrix LED headlights are surrounded by an oval arrangement of more than 1,500 daytime LED elements wrapped around a closed grille. The result is a striking, futuristic look that feels bold without being over-the-top.

Interior: A Fully Integrated Tech Experience
59-Inch Panoramic Display
Inside, the driver is greeted by a flat-bottom steering wheel and a massive 4K panoramic screen spanning the full width of the dashboard. Extending across 59 inches, it incorporates video feeds from the digital mirrors at the edges.
The cabin features a stunning 59-inch ultra-wide 4K display that integrates the instrument cluster, central infotainment, front passenger touchscreen, and the two electronic mirror displays. The system is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, runs on the AUDIOS operating system, and supports the AUDI Assistant, 540° panoramic camera, Baidu Maps, multimedia apps, CarPlay, and over-the-air updates.

Premium Materials and Luxury Features
Luxury materials include Openpore North American natural wood trim finished in 28 precise steps and full-grain FeinNappa leather seats.
While technology takes center stage, AUDI has not forgotten luxury. The model features Nappa leather, premium wood trim, ambient lighting, and a premium Bose audio system with up to 26 speakers.
Zero-Gravity Rear Seats
The E7X is available in four- and five-seat configurations. The highlight is the four-seater layout with two individual rear seats featuring zero-gravity technology that reclines up to 120 degrees, offering 16-point massage, an air-adjustment system with 23 air bladders, adaptive four-way headrests, and an integrated electric footrest.
A 21.4-inch rear entertainment screen drops down from the roof. It can be controlled via voice, remote, or touchscreen.

Autonomous Driving and Assistance Systems
The AI-powered AUDI Assistant 2.0 was developed in collaboration with ByteDance, while the LiDAR-based AUDI 360 Driving Assist was developed with Momenta and tuned specifically for Chinese urban traffic and highways. Volkswagen Group has announced plans for Level 3 autonomous driving on the E7X, making it the first Audi to offer this capability.
Audi has clearly stated its ambition to become the first luxury brand to mass-produce Level 3 autonomous vehicles, with the E7X as the first model to feature this technology.
Chassis and Suspension
With fully aluminum front and rear subframes, the hardware specifications align directly with million-yuan-class models like the Porsche Cayenne, Audi A8, and Q7. The vehicle comes standard with Pirelli P Zero tires (255 front / 285 rear) and a high-performance Brembo four-piston brake system.
All E7X variants will feature all-wheel steering, adaptive air suspension, and the 900-volt architecture for fast charging.
