Audi bakkie?

IS Audi plotting a one-tonne bakkie that would reignite a premium segment where the Mercedes X-Class failed? According to the Australian website Carsguide, citing Japanese sources such as Spyder7, Audi is thought to be working on a bakkie based on the Ford Ranger platform that also underpins the new Amarok.

But here’s where it gets interesting as the rumours also suggest that such a bakkie would be battery-powered. This would not seem implausible given that both Ford and Volkswagen execs have hinted in the past that Ford’s updated T6 architecture that underpins the new Ranger and Amarok is compatible with electrification. | IOL Motoring
