奧迪公司日前發(fā)布了一張全電動(dòng)SUV概念車(chē)的照片,。像其他豪車(chē)制造商今年發(fā)布的全電動(dòng)車(chē)型一樣,，媒體現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)給這款車(chē)型冠上了“特斯拉殺手”的名號(hào)。

奧迪聲稱,，這款e-tronquattro概念車(chē)是一款運(yùn)動(dòng)型SUV,，它也是奧迪公司首款即將大規(guī)模量產(chǎn)的電動(dòng)汽車(chē),。據(jù)悉,，奧迪將在下月的2015法蘭克福國(guó)際車(chē)展上正式展出這款車(chē)型，并將于2018年投入量產(chǎn),。

其他豪華汽車(chē)廠商相比,，無(wú)論從規(guī)模、銷(xiāo)量還是從員工數(shù)量而言,，我們都可以用“袖珍”二字來(lái)形容特斯拉公司,。比如，特斯拉汽車(chē)今年的預(yù)計(jì)出貨量是5萬(wàn)臺(tái),，而單單今年7月份,，奧迪就賣(mài)出了14.6萬(wàn)臺(tái)汽車(chē)。

由于特斯拉在豪華型全電動(dòng)汽車(chē)領(lǐng)域大獲成功,，包括通用,、寶馬、保時(shí)捷,、奔馳和奧迪在內(nèi)的各大主流廠商都在積極進(jìn)軍這一市場(chǎng),。同時(shí)為了遵守歐洲的排放規(guī)定，很多廠商都在研發(fā)電動(dòng)或插電式混動(dòng)車(chē)型,。這款?yuàn)W迪概念車(chē)似乎主要是面向北美市場(chǎng)開(kāi)發(fā)的，因?yàn)樵摰貐^(qū)的SUV銷(xiāo)量一直在持續(xù)飆升。但問(wèn)題是,，這款e-tronquattro是否將成為特斯拉SUV車(chē)型Model X的直接競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手,？后者將于今年9月份正式上市,。

這個(gè)問(wèn)題的答案，恐怕我們要等到e-tronquattro投入量產(chǎn)后才能知道,，也就說(shuō)至少要等到2018年,。也就是說(shuō)，特斯拉還有兩年多的時(shí)間在全電動(dòng)SUV領(lǐng)域搶占市場(chǎng)先機(jī),。

奧迪e-tronquattro的電池續(xù)航里程能達(dá)到500公里以上,。本月初，奧迪,、三星和LG Chem表示,，他們將合作開(kāi)發(fā)一款專供全電動(dòng)SUV的電池，據(jù)稱該電池的續(xù)航里程也是這個(gè)距離,。通過(guò)此次合作,，三星電機(jī)和LG Chem將在他們的歐洲工廠為奧迪生產(chǎn)電池，同時(shí)三星和LG Chem也將投資歐洲的電池技術(shù),。

關(guān)于這款概念車(chē),，還有幾點(diǎn)需要指出：首先，它不是奧迪現(xiàn)有SUV的改款,，而是一款從頭設(shè)計(jì)的電動(dòng)車(chē)型,。和特斯拉的Model S一樣，其底部完全閉合,，從而更符合空氣動(dòng)力學(xué)原理,。該車(chē)型的傳動(dòng)系統(tǒng)是基于奧迪R8 etron跑車(chē)改進(jìn)的。整車(chē)裝配了三臺(tái)電動(dòng)馬達(dá),，一臺(tái)在前軸,，兩臺(tái)在后軸，為整臺(tái)汽車(chē)提供動(dòng)力,。

奧迪e-tronquattro與特斯拉Model X的一個(gè)主要區(qū)別是它的座位,。奧迪e-tronquattro可以容納4人乘坐，但Model X則最多可容納7人,。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Audi released a teaser photo of an all-electric SUV concept car this morning and like every other luxury all-electric vehicle to be unveiled in the past year, it’s already being called a Tesla killer by the media.

The e-tron quattro concept vehicle, described by Audi as a sporty SUV, is the company’s first large-series electric car. Audi, a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group VLKAY -0.94% , will unveil the e-tron quattro concept at the International Motor Show 2015 to be held next month in Frankfurt. The SUV will go into series production beginning in 2018, Audi says.

Tesla Motors is diminutive—in size, sales, and employees—compared with its luxury automaker counterparts. For example, the Palo Alto, Calif.-based company is expected to deliver 50,000 cars this year. Audi sold 146,000 vehicles in July alone.

And yet major automakers, including General Motors GM -0.25% , BMW, Porsche, Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz unit and Audi all seem to be responding to Tesla’s TSLA -2.10% success in building a luxury all-electric vehicle people want to drive.

Many of these automakers are developing electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to comply with emissions regulations in Europe. However, Audi’s new project seems geared more for North America, where SUV sales continue to soar. But will it offer U.S. buyers an alternative to Tesla’s gulf-winged Model X SUV, which customers who preordered are expecting to be delivered in September?

We won’t really know until the Audi e-tron quattro goes into production, which isn’t expected to begin until 2018. That gives Tesla more than two years to gain market share in the all-electric SUV segment.

The Audi e-tron quattro SUV will have a battery range of more than 500 kilometers, or about 310 miles. This is the same range that was floated earlier this month when Audi, Samsung, and LG Chem said they were teaming up to develop a battery designed for an all-electric SUV. Under that deal, LG Chem LGCLF -39.13% and Samsung SDI SSNLF -3.06% will supply Audi with batteries produced at their European plants. The South Korean tech companies will also invest in cell technology in Europe.

A couple of notes about this concept car: Audi isn’t modifying an existing SUV. This concept car was designed from the ground up as an electric car. The underbody is completely closed—just like Tesla’s Model S—which makes it more aerodynamic. The drive system is based on the Audi R8 e-tron sports car. Three electric motors—one on the front axle and two on the rear axle—drive the Audi e-tron quattro concept.

Seating is one major difference between the Audi e-tron quattro and the Model X. The Audi e-tron quattro will have space for four people, while the Model X has seating for up to seven people.
