The Audi SUV is not based on the Mission E architecture! That would be easy too expensive.
Audi is rumored to use the Mission E architecture as the base of a sporty electric sedan.
We'll see which parts cross in a couple of years but Porsche will likely get a version of the electric SUV as well. Here is a photo: http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/spy-sho...-electric-suv/
So far it seems that VW has at least four chassis under concurrent development - J1(Porsche/Audi sedans), C-BEV(Audi SUV), MEB(VW et al) and PPE(future joint premium). The MEB vehicles are the ones I'm most looking forward to seeing because they will be mainstream, reasonably priced models and the platform could offer the most flexibility for cool variations. Of course, all of this is speculation...
Interesting read in that CAR magazine issue...especially the part about a 2 speed transmission....That is certainly a game changer if CAR magazine are accurate in this article....
