Audi has a new electric car coming up.

The Hollywood ArchivesAudi Q4 Sportback e-tron concept is, technically, an identical twin to Audi's Q4 e-tron concept, which was launched in 2019 — the two cars share the same Volkswagen MEB platform, 225 kW powertrain, and 82k Wh battery. Even the dimensions are roughly the same.

In actual performance numbers, this means 0-100 km/h (0-62.1 mph) acceleration in 6.3 seconds with a top speed of 180 km/h (111.8 mph), and 450 km (279.6 miles) of range.

The new car, however, has a far sportier exterior, with inclined D-pillars and a spoiler that runs under the rear window. Audi says the new car has a "sexy back," and the design makes the Audi Q4 Sportback appear much longer than its sister model.

An interesting new feature is a "large-format" head-up display which has an augmented reality feature, with the ability to display graphical information (such as turning arrows) "directly on the course of the road." Unfortunately, Audi didn't share any images of videos showing this particular feature, so we can only imagine what it looks like.

There's no word on pricing or availability, though the Q4 Sportback e-tron and its Q4 e-tron sister model are expected to start under $45,000, which is a significant price decrease from Audi's first electric SUV, the Audi E-Tron, which starts at about $75,000.

Generally, Audi plans to offer more than 20 all-electric cars by 2025, ranging from compact to luxury class.
